Create a 5 pages page paper that discusses the issue of piracy in somali. Several groups of pirates currently operate in Somali waters. Report findings show that these groups of pirates have different abilities and tactics of attacking, therefore, making it so hard for security forces to carry out generalized operations and responses to the threat of these groups of pirates (Symmons, 2011).

The northern semi-autonomous area of Punt region serves a home base for the most effective and efficient pirate’s networks in Somali. Report from UN shows that some regional and local Somali leaders encourage piracy activities from this region due to the personal benefits they receive from these activities (Daniels, 2012). Though Punt land local government has a coastal key watch to countercheck the activities of these groups of pirates, the government has limited resources as it also faces other internal upheavals that weaken its ability to deal effectively with piracy.

There are various reasons why young energetic youths in Somali engage themselves in piracy activities. Some of reasons like poverty, environmental hardship, low incomes, lack of job opportunities, prolonged drought, which leads to reduction in pastoralist and maritime activities, increased level of insecurity and political instability in the country influence these young people to choose to join the pirates groups as a way to earn their living (Ploch, 2010).

Mainly, profits accrued from piracy are one of the major motivating factors. Nevertheless, a majority of piracy activities that face the coast of Somalia results from an inability of the country to safeguard its public from goods from outside an aspect that makes it a dumping site for foreign goods. In addition, illegal fishing is also another major motivating factor (Press Office, 2012).
