Implications of Maritime Piracy in the Failed State of Somalia
2007
Wander, Kjell A.
The recent trend of violent pirate attacks off the coast of the failed state of Somalia is challenging operational commanders. Analysis indicates limited Somali or other African nation capability and the need for a more comprehensive coalition approach to address the piracy problem. This paper defines the operational challenges of combating piracy in Somalia and offers a possible solution to incorporate other instruments of national and international power. This is a thought piece derived from unclassified sources and includes opinions. It seeks to establish the threat and effects of piracy in Somalia, analyzes the challenges of combating the threat and suggests a CENTCOM-led interagency anti-piracy task force in Djibouti.
