If you destroy their livelihood they are going to come after you and these pirates are mostly fishermen who are forced to do this and no one questions the rich nations who breach the maritime boundary. Since the government in the mentioned nations are corrupt they don't intervene and overfishing happens here as long as government is bribed.
I can keep writing about it but I would like to conclude here by advising everyone to know both sides of story
The beginning of your post was very true, but the continuation and conclusions are far from the truth.
Let me clarify. First, a simple statistic about the economy:
As in neighboring countries, Somalia's economy includes both traditional and modern industries, with a gradual shift in favor of modern industrial technology. According to the Central Bank of Somalia, about 80% of the population are nomadic or semi-nomadic pastoralists keeping goats, sheep, camels and cattle. Nomads also collect resins and gum to supplement their income.
Agriculture is the most important sector of the economy. It accounts for about 65% of GDP and employs 65% of the population. Livestock contributes about 40% of GDP and more than 50% of export earnings. Other major exports are fish, coal and bananas; sugar, sorghum and maize are produced for the domestic market.
We see references to fish production as not a significant but existing sector of the economy. Now let's look back in history. Who were the first victims of pirates ? The answer is local fishermen.
Question number two - unreported fishing. Yes, that's a fact. But let's look at the statistics, shall we? Who is it that violates Somali rights and "steals fish"?
Let's go back in history again:
In the 1980s, fishing cooperatives were established in the country. The government even passed legislation to regulate this sector of the economy. The fishing industry grew rapidly, with the port in the southern city of Kismayo literally swarming with trawlers dropping off rich catches here.
But during the civil war, the infrastructure and economy, including the fishing sector, was dealt a devastating blow. Pirates began to plague the Somali coast, and ordinary fishermen were afraid to go to sea. And on land, the fight against Al-Shabaab was on.
Bottom line: terror and piracy were the original problem of the falling fish market. And yes, it was then taken advantage of...mostly by COUNTRIES, although about 20% of the illegal fish harvesting was by "European neighbors". There is even official data : According to a report submitted to the UN, 300-350 million dollars worth of fish are caught annually in Somali waters by poachers. Of these, about 20% are European poachers and 80% are poachers from neighboring countries....
