- On April 11 2010, 20-year-old Pralav Dhyani was working aboard RAK Afrikana when it was hijacked by Somali pirates. The ship was taken to Harardhere in Somalia, where it was held for 332 days before negotiations between the shipping company and the pirates finally came to a close. The mental anguish and trauma of being held hostage was debilitating for the 26 crew members and conditions were made even harder due to a lack of water, proper food, electricity, and healthcare. This is Pralav’s story.

As a sailor myself I’ve experienced pirate attack in CTG Outer Anchorage. There was only robbery and they took LO drums and mooring ropes. Well it was not as near as what you’ve experienced. More power to you Saab for sharing this story. Keep rocking towards your goal. ❤️
Bro i am curious as to why is there no aelf defense available
@@KalashnikovCult they can fight but they need a special traning or the company of the ship just dont have funds for it
@@the_yu5472 that's ridiculous bro...the ship is their home and if defending one's home cannot be justified then we are commiting suicide by going aboard
@@KalashnikovCult yeah bro its scary to be a sailor
@@the_yu5472 lot scary bro...lot scary
It was an emotional journey to go through your video. You went through that ordeal and here I was not able to go through this video depicting your journey of turmoil may be because I have known you from your childhood being your teacher, your mother's friend and you being my son's friend, it was not easy to hear your story. But life poses testing times and yours was this one. All that we need to do is learn from life and move on . You have been brave to the maximum and I am sure the coming period of your life is beautiful and lovely for you. Wish you all the luck and best of time.
May God bless you
To survive 10 months with guns staring at you is an act of huge courage. God bless you bro
They steal our fish. When we fight back we are 'pirates'.
This programme is lies and misinformation.
Somalia is a beautiful country and progressing.
Stop your smearing and racism.
@@ramatgan1 brother there's nothing against innocent Somalian citizens. Criminals have no race however when you are in a certain territory, you consider it an identity
to survive in Somalia is more hard
@@TonyMontana-vo8nd it's all about managing and accepting the differences. Whenever you are away from your homeland, you tend to feel uncomfortable
@@TonyMontana-vo8nd I live in Somalia.
A country you you think you can comment on that you know nothing about.
Good Speaker, Glad he is ok at end. The Somali Pirate problem was caused by Western & foreign fishing ships emptying the somali cost, the longest in africa!! The fishermen had nothing to fish so they decided to become "Pirates".......
Not 100% true. That's the narrative that the somalis have tried to stick with but it is not the truth. There are SOME fisherman turned pirates, but the majority of the pirates are just that, pirates. Taking advantage of the lack of stability in the country.
Vice should a video about the illegal fishing in Somali seas by many different countries
they should hooyadood wasaaoyinku i don't feel bad cuz lacagtaay ka samyaan baa ka badaan kuwani
They won't 🤷🏾♂️ they only want to show the bad side of somalia
@@ishowspace1 they have to spread there propaganda.
Stop justifying this dysgenic behavior
@@B727X What would you do if your waters were being illegaly fished while also having waste being dumbed into them while you country is being torn apart by a civil war?
Love your spirit brother!!! Thanks for showing the courage and making us more stronger !! One incident had happened to me in Africa for 4 big months that kept in shock but finally came out of it 😊✨

You can’t expect to dump toxic waste, steal fish & abuse a countries sea and get away with it , these somalians have balls of steel ngl skinny teenagers in small speedboats taking over huge ships
Exactly
Innit they fucking destroyed my countries sea im from there this video just upset me
lions of africa hooraah
@@okokokokokok1207 How does your country view / regard the pirates?
@@kyedefriend4637 Nowadays it's taboo. But the pirates are still wealthy but in hiding.
Don’t come to Somali coast to plunder the fish and release toxic waste in our coast! Otherwise we have to take action!!
You say this as if you have the balls to do anything like the pirates do. You just live in your little shack and complain without taking any action to better your situation.
@@AyushZ22 little shack? 🤫
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Yes!!
@@AyushZ22 Says the elephant worshipper 🤡😂
international fishing vessels began to conduct illegal fishing in Somali territorial waters. This depleted local fish stocks, and Somali fishing communities responded by forming armed groups to deter the invaders. Heroes of your nation
Are u saying this man desverved to have what happen to him just bc another person fucked up over ?
@@jeanalvarez7051 No, he is just saying they are not evil.
plsss these people are evil
Every action has a reaction let's not forget what caused the piracy in the first place. Ie dumping toxic waste and looting Somali fisheries
"There's no limit to what desperate men will do to feed their families when their livelihood is ruined...
Why thank you liberal white person us Somalis been saying this for a while Lmaoo
@@freebandzz3539 it's a fact according UN USA EU and multiple other states. If you so brave and tough come to our Coast and will teach you a lesson yaa 🤡👎
@@freebandzz3539 transparancy
God damn it! what more you want to him to do eh?
@@mahmudnuur5744 better for him to not say shi don’t need white man to repeat what we say and act noble for it is what I’m saying if u can understand
His pre & post hijacking analysis of himself is so self rewarding.
this man is calm
he was a thief
Somali “pirates” you mean coast guards protecting the waters from illegal fishing, chemical dumbing etc. Piracy has been dead in somalia for almost a decade now, all these big channels love to do is to talk about somalia back during the civil war era and use it as content so people think that’s what’s currently going on. This guy’s story is from a situation that happened during civil war.. They talk about somalia like it’s currently in the state that it was decades ago for “interesting content” like we don’t have a whole government right now. They try their hardest to discredit how far somalis have came by continuously using our past like it’s the present, it’s just not fair. It’s always one sided misrepresentation mainly used to make somalia look bad for the sake of entertainment……
Thr coast guard don't hijack boats for 10 months, einstein
'Look at me. I am the captain now'
👏👏👏
I came here for this and this only.
cool 😎
Somalian Pirates we (Ike from South Park)
Surprised that large shipping vessels carrying anything valuable don't have private security onboard to handle these occurrences 🤷♂️
Well they stealing Somali fish 🎣 the judgement is coming for this man #SomaliCourt🇸🇴🏴☠️
Now they have
The owners took so long to negotiate that it took a crew member to die first??? 10 months after the hijacking???
white people make way more valuable bargaining chips every tourist knows that.
Vice did a video on the pirates last year that did a good job of explaining why this is happening. People need to have more empathy and do what’s right. I’m so glad I decided to watch these videos now I know what is truly going on
Where they get their weapons and ammo?
Somalia, weapons are available on the market like a lot of other countries.
Thank you for sharing your traumatic experience...
My deal is this: I will only upload a single picture.
I uh okay. So you keep every picture.
The Somali pirates problem was caused by the west , they are the one to be blame and not somalis, they are the one who were lotting Somali fish and dumping toxic waste into Somali waters
But to be fair some of it is Kenya’s cuz Somalis took there costs
@@okokokokokok1207 😂😂 not one inch belongs to Kenya of that coastline
A ship going between zanzibar and seychelles is hijacked by somalis and brought to somalian shore and then there are idiots here who ask what the ship was doing in somali waters.
there was a movie like this starring Tom Hanks
What are you doing in somali border first and foremost
caadi mahaaan waxaan walah

Wether you show a bad side to Somalia to do your illegal interests and illegal fish, we're dying to defend our seas and water. If protecting your sea from illegal fish is pirate, we're proud of pirate then.
Soomaaliya Hanoolaato 🇸🇴
Broken people just want they’re money give it to them. Why were u holding back smh
Why you stolen our fish by illegal and you lying 🇸🇴
He is lying they were in our waters
Don’t feel sorry for him one bit

@@userunknown-lb8qw asked you why not how much. maybe if you were not so blinded by hate you could read and understand.
@@shweetbetta5846 Shouldn’t have been on our coast
@@userunknown-lb8qw No, not a single bit
Damn this is insane that man is a hero
Real pirates are those who stolen our resources
We are heroes and we proud

What’s up Broski 🦋
They are not Somali pirates. You call them pirates but we call them Somali coastguards. Continue to impound these ships sailing and fishing in Somali waters illegally.
They need money 💰
Our ocean our property those ships should pay taxes too us.
DOES THIS ALL JUSTIFY THE DUMPING OF WASTE AND STEALING SOMALI RESOURCESES.
