Based on current interest.

But what if the plan is to drastically drop that interest? Or forgive the loan altogether.

 

Just sayin' maybe there are other reasons for pushing it, that you or I don't know about.

Rising Pirate Attacks off Somalia Endanger Key Trade Route

By David Herbling | November 12, 2025

 

Instability in Yemen and the Horn of Africa is fueling a resurgence in maritime piracy off Somalia, a cause for concern in one of the worldโ€™s busiest shipping corridors.

 

At least three recorded incidents have taken place off the Horn of Africa nation this month alone, according to the UK Maritime Trade Operations, a navy organization that links military forces with merchant ships, echoing the havoc that Somali pirates wreaked along the East African coast for more than a decade.

 

The attacks peaked at 176 in 2011 and a 2009 hijacking was the basis for the 2013 Oscar-nominated movie Captain Phillips, starring Tom Hanks. They only tapered off after increased international patrols by navies including the European Union Naval Force โ€” known as EU Navfor โ€” the use of armed guards on ships and a stronger central government in Somalia.

 

Instability due to the threat by the Houthis in Yemen โ€” designated a terrorist group by the US โ€” as well as tension among regional countries and internal disputes in some nations was โ€œunderstood by the pirate networks as an opportunity to resume piracy attempts,โ€ the EU Navforโ€™s Mission Atalanta, which patrols Somali waters, said in emailed response to queries.

 

Atalanta freed a Maltese-flagged tanker on Friday in the vicinity of Eyl, a coastal town that was a piracy haven in the late 2000s.

 

โ€œPiracy was suppressed, but not eradicated,โ€ Atalanta said.
