因為索馬里海盜被捕,新聞才終於稍稍提到人們為何為盜:

FROM BBC:

Somalia is a unique problem as there is no effective central government and no navy to protect its territorial waters.
The country has also been at war for almost two decades.
As a result, many young Somali men are uneducated and have no concept of the rule of law. Piracy has now become a way of making a living.
Many foreign vessels fish in Somali waters ilegally, so militia groups have taken it upon themselves to tax those who do.
Pirate fisherman provide cheap fish for home markets and Somali pirates support their towns and villages.
That raises a key question: is helping your own people good or bad?
