Most people think that pirates are a thing of the past. Well, not really. The term piracy is changing to accommodate activities of what would now be known as modern pirates. They specialize in kidnap, ransom, illicit trade of common goods as well as hijacking ships on high seas.
This type of trade has been popular in war torn countries like Somalia. Intervention of the African Union troops saw the illegal groups crushed and the trade broke down bringing new leadership to a country that has not seen peace for over a decade. We will aim to write about the causes of modern piracy and its contribution to lack of peace and stability in international waters.
