Piracy symptom of bigger problem

The risks associated with piracy can be seen as little worse than those faced every day .
Based on a BBC report:

1. Somalia is one of the poorest, most violent, least stable countries anywhere on Earth.
2. Piracy is in essence a law and order issue, and in Somalia there is virtually no authority to carry out the kind of policing that could effectively disrupt pirate operations.
3. The outside world has for too long seen Somalia only in terms of threats to their own security.
