NUMBER_TOKEN led by the usa with NUMBER_TOKEN other nations started a mission to combat piracy in the region based out of the us navy base in bahrain in fact china's only overseas naval base is in djibouti to deal with these unstable waters but legally they weren't allowed to actually enter somali waters and do anything about the attacks so the u.n security council voted unanimously in NUMBER_TOKEN to allow all nations with the consent of the somali transitional government to enter somali waters and deal with the pirates the far majority of the pirates got away however because if they never shot at their targets they never technically committed a crime what these missions did result in is an overall drop in somali piracy by NUMBER_TOKEN NUMBER_TOKEN hijacks were attempted in NUMBER_TOKEN while only NUMBER_TOKEN were in NUMBER_TOKEN. it is also likely that the formation of autonomous regions in pointland and makir stopped many of the pirates in the north looking at neighboring somaliland it never had a pirate problem under a stable government while the civil war is still ongoing a federal government of somalia was established in NUMBER_TOKEN as well bringing some form of authority to the now NUMBER_TOKEN years of anarchy the latest attacks were in NUMBER_TOKEN with two unsuccessful attacks both released with no ransom and in NUMBER_TOKEN with one unsuccessful attack it looks like the pirates might have finally lost but the us has recently been going through some global mood swings it doesn't really have the desire or the need to protect the middle east and surrounding regions anymore they can power themselves with a hundred percent domestic gas it's not to say that the whole operation will go south many other nations are involved in anti-piracy attacks and regional trade and of course it's not just oil going through the region so the u.s still has some incentive to keep the region safe the somali civil war and lack of government has had some fairly major unforeseen effects on the world system it goes to show how connected humanity is through global trade if some pirates on speed boats can cost NUMBER_TOKEN billion worldwide and shipped geopolitical attention towards the arabian sea the practice only slowed down when major world powers combined naval forces and studied the pirates for four years the pirates created a whole stock market based around ransom something straight out of the NUMBER_TOKENs caribbean with the somali civil war nearly finished in the north and a semi-government of place power attacks have practically come to a stop with the civil war still raging on in the south and the us disengaged from the whole region don't be surprised if the somali pirates make their triumph print return if you like this video hold the like button hostage and i'll give you the subscribe button as ransom thanks for watching the swashbuckling video
