I noticed this article says the same thing I read in another, that it
is suggested that unless you have direct business with Somalia, you
are warned to stay at least 200 mi. away from the coastline.

200 miles? The pirates go out that far???


Why not, they are in search of a better life and they can only do that
by pirating. Dying from poverty or drowning at sea, either is an
acceptable risk to them.
