The Insight: What are the land-based drivers of maritime threats?

And how might they drive piracy in the Gulf of Guinea?

95% of all kidnappings by pirates in 2020 took place in the Gulf of Guinea, now the epicentre of piracy off the coast of Africa - and one of the most dangerous seas in the world. So what is driving this pirate threat? And how does what happens on land help fuel incidents at sea?

In this episode of The Insight, we explore the drivers of piracy in Africa, taking a look at what helped cause piracy in Somalia, what is driving piracy in the Gulf of Guinea, and how we can learn from this to identify when and where the next threat is coming from.

Learn how piracy in West Africa is linked to economic conditions, illegal fishing and gaps in maritime law, factors that can create pirates in Nigeria, the Niger Delta, and the rest of the gulf.

Intelligence Fusion's assessment is based on our day-to-day monitoring of the security landscape in West Africa. If you'd like to take a closer look at the intelligence that supports our analysis, get access to a 14-day free trial: https://hubs.ly/H0nk-FG0​​
