No. 55: Making Waves: Piracy Floods the Horn of Africa

Author(s): Matthew Hulbert

Editor(s): Daniel Möckli

Series: CSS Analysis in Security Policy

Issue: 55

As the recent spike of attacks in the Gulf of Aden attests, piracy is becoming a major concern for regional security and trade. Incidents are becoming more frequent, violent, sophisticated, and organized as the pirates extend their reach into the India Ocean. If this mould is to be broken, the international community needs a more nuanced approach to tackling both the causes and effects of piracy by addressing economic dislocation and state fragility on the one hand and international maritime cooperation on the other. Nowhere will this be more challenging than in the Horn of Africa.
