not in full control. Stable government which is
in control of the country.

issue?
Impact on Somalia
Local farmers and
fishermen leave to join
pirates
Wealthy pirates

Local prices increase
due to influx of
dollars- quality of life
decreases for locals as
a result

Ransom money is
reinvested in more
sophisticated
weaponry making
governance of the area
more difficult

investment and trade
in the country.
