Pirateri ud for Vestafrika bliver værre

Piratangreb ud for den vestafrikanske kyst ventes at vokse i omfang, fordi løsepengene bliver kanaliseret ind i valgkampagnen i Nigeria. Det vurderer Risk Intelligence’s Hans Tino Hansen.

”Forud for valg, tiltager kidnapninger for løsepenge og angreb på offshore-mål i antal. Systemet med beskyttelsespenge i Nigeria sikrer finansiel støtte til politiske kandidater, og på grund af det ser vi en stigning i offshore-angreb”, siger Hans Tino Hansen.

Udover valget i Nigeria skal der også være valg i Togo, Burkina Faso og Elfenbenskysten. Mens pirateriet ud for Vestafrika er i vækst, rapporteres der om færre piratangreb ud for Østafrika og i Asien.
