Somali pirates flee amid police suspicion
The rescue operation of the oil tanker "Cebu 1" off the coast of Somalia witnessed an escalation in pirate activity, with 41 suspects detained. Approximately 30 of them managed to escape during their transfer from Garoa to Grojé after the bus they were in overturned due to a tire explosion, amid suspicions that police may have assisted in their escape. The rising number of pirate attacks this year, reaching 15 incidents—the highest since 2013—poses a significant challenge to local authorities, amid criticism of their failure to effectively confront the phenomenon of piracy, which is allegedly supported by the local community.
