 NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) - Somalia's pirates are nothing if not brazen — not only seizing a ship carrying U.N. food aid but using it to hijack another ship off the coast of their lawless land in the Horn of Africa.
Piracy on the Somali seas has reached alarming proportions, analysts say. But the weak Somali government says there is little it can do.
Shipping companies "should try and avoid the waters of Somalia," Abdirahman Yusuf Meygag, an aide to Somali Prime Minister Ali Mohamed Gedi, told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
