Having a lot of them busted by the international flotilla and many others forced to dump their weapons overboard and turn around empty handed hasn’t helped their recruiting.

The Maritime Security Center for the Horn of Africa’s webpage may be found here. It is full of information concerning the security threat from piracy in that area. An map of alerts received by NATO ships in the area can be found here. Finally, a .pdf report by DHS for the week in piracy for 20-26 June 2013 can be found here. Incidents are down greatly from previous years, for reasons noted by Chimera, and also covered in the linked piracy reports.
