From the outside the beautiful wetlands of nigeria inside a problematic history in the past creeks in niger delta. This region is already struggling for theft with arms trafficking kidnapping and in recent years a number of business has been to florida. Has become a hotspot for narita. Piracy and Armed Robbery at sea. And this is where pirates operate from a labyrinth of we were told once but its not only home to criminals lives near by the river the source of income he transports goods and people hes careful since he was attacked by pirates. To critics like misplaces when that. Creates 35. Pins 1st the armed man wanted to take the engine of his boat when they realized it wasnt good enough they let him go they took his money instead from then on the parrot peanuts stopped working after sunset we are very scared. When driving on the sea or in the river because you dont know when exactly the corpse so sometimes if they are on the way they can go their way with all your money so piracy. Is a very big problem attacks by pirates is a problem worldwide but especially in the gulf of guinea they are on the rise along the coastline of west africa. Because. They want to be there before pirates strike members of the Nigerian Navy are headed out of their legs headquarters to money toward the sea here given rare access to accompany them on their daily patrol. We are about politics not to call them out on the cost of legace and this is a legit training different thing it is not anything it. Was a long. Good thing. It was a very good war. Is responsible for navigation and. Onboard there is only one vessel that money tours hundreds if not to come out today but the navy doesnt have enough vessels and personnel to prevent piracy attacks funding is need for more training in a position of more platform a condition of the Impeachment Committee spaces for the vessels given the business of what you saw this was a very difficult isnt this pensive another challenge west african countries have different policies to protect their waters in movies of the old if theyre also. Countries in the gulf of guinea to come to them to effectively money to be done because even though you know it is in this book called the potency to the never was a mode individual find a loophole and they do this navy vessel is money touring 1. 00 part of the gulf of guinea and attack is reported on the same day a few 100 miles down self and oil tanker similar to this one passing by us has been targeted the Nigerian Navy is not there Maritime Security should start here in the niger delta before an attack happens tell us they want of story ts to deploy more security to stop lawlessness in the creeks and to eradicate piracy altogether. So there are more into this max williams is a c. E. O. At africa Risk Compliance in Maritime Security company focusing on west africa welcome to the show now how serious is why a time piracy in the gulf of guinea compared to other parts of the world. Compared to other boats the wild delay serious say the most affected by us. Of indian ocean know of somalia but. Hard a lot of attention a few years ago compared to us up to now has really dropped down on Southeast Asia as again from a lighter and since west africa has really hit the headlines most recently with the attacks but its been an ongoing problem for a long time this year alone we seen 52 major attacks on brussels in the region where the 125 seat has kidnapped not just since the beginning of 2019 or another 66 attacks last year with 155 kidnapped so its its a real issue the moment you see attacks i increasingly what is driving arise these attacks. The main causes for as are really the problems that are in the niger delta in nigeria. Were in the world we have 3 main things which are effectively an environment to operate from which is in large delta as an area that has a very very loose rule of law theres very little opportunity for those living. In terms of employment and education the number of the targets which all the that it may shipping lines of cultural by the time because coming into their own and gas industry or the main ships going past the cargo ships calling it quote imports an area so if you have these 3 factors and you are in the world you will get piracy and in niger at the moment its off west africa its a perfect storm so what is the main challenge in fighting this in the region. There are several challenges to it theres a lack of capability in monks local navies there is certainly the will to combat a problem has certainly improved over the last few years as its become a bigger problem that there is to the lack of capability most local navies that are have the funding. Say western navies or european navies have. Those are the main the that is territorial waters and so instructional navies such as from europe or from the us are unable to go into the area themselves and so the problem like they could off somalia. I thought only nigeria is dealing with other conflicts obviously the one that gets so attention in europe is conflict with the islamic insurgency in the north of the quran and other similar groups theres also conflicts in the middle belt so thats where the focus and it has taken are in nigeria ok our pick up from you say and no call authorities i dont Strong Enough to handle this so then how can the western african countries come together close together we should be strong got to handle it right yes that is true and has certainly been improvements not a got that is better information sharing going to happening between all the countries in the region with a sentence of unknown date sr this and that is joint exercises being undertaken by regional navies as well with the support of the likes of the us and european eightys that has improved things and i was helped with the picture instance however ultimately it comes down to nigeria and how theyre going to solve the problem in the niger delta its a long time issue in the meantime here its really up to local navies and also the shipping industry to improve security in their own produce never waltzes and uncle to ship for the sea for us ok max williams c.
