I would say it is the Warlords and psuedo tribal guvmints raising more money in Piracy than the "national" (chuckle) GDP. A failed nation and economy where the only law is the tribe and the warlord. Sometimes hard to fathom that something as broken as Somalia can have more broken internal parts. Damn shame.

(of course I just reread your post again, and yeh, probalby were once fishermen. In the same note, some of us would be Run Runners 90 years or so ago . Still think send in the SEALS and "arrest" them.)
