Somali pirates are currently holding 200 people hostage as part of their ransom business, keeping them from their families during the festive season, the EU’s anti-piracy mission said. “This humanitarian tragedy is especially pertinent over Christmas, a time when families normally gather to celebrate,” EU NAVFOR said in a statement. It said 199 men and one woman were being held against their will by pirate gangs in Somalia following the seizure of their ships in the Indian Ocean.
