’Nu dejtar jag en pirat’

Piraterna i Somalia fortsätter att fascinera. New York Times har ett mycket läsvärt reportage ifrån piratismens hjärta, som återigen visar att det inte är till sjöss problemet finns.

People in Garoowe, a town south of Boosaaso, describe a certain
high-rolling pirate swagger. Flush with cash, the pirates drive the
biggest cars, run many of the town’s businesses – like hotels – and
throw the best parties, residents say. Fatuma Abdul Kadir said she went
to a pirate wedding in July that lasted two days, with nonstop dancing
and goat meat, and a band flown in from neighboring Djibouti.

’It was wonderful,’ said Ms. Fatuma, 21. ’I’m now dating a pirate.’
