far southern pirate activity

A ship was hijacked 80 NAUTICAL MILES EAST OF THE TANZANIA-MOZAMBIQUE BORDER. That’s very, very far south of Somalia.

With us in Africa (where they often toss random people into your groups to fill them up) was someone involved in a project to build robotic gunboats to fight the pirates by remote control, so the engineers seem to be on the case. The project is based in Italy, apparently.
