More than 2,000 sailors were hijacked off the Somali coast between 2005-2012, when piracy became a lucrative business, with around half a billion dollars paid out in ransoms.
In ka badan 2000 badmaaxe ayaa laga afduubay xeebta Soomaaliya intii u dhaxeysay 2005 - 2012, xilligaas oo burcad badeeddu noqotay ganacsi faa'iido badan leh, iyadoo ku dhowaad nus bilyan doolar lagu bixiyay madax furasho.
