The IRGR is proud to announce the publication of a new study on the reintegration of ex-pirates in Somalia by IRGR member\u00a0Ingvild Gjelsvik and colleague Tore Bj\u00f8rgo.<\/p>\n

This study addresses how and why individuals in\u00a0Somalia\u00a0get involved in piracy activities, and how and why some of these individuals eventually\u00a0disengage\u00a0from such criminal groups. Based on qualitative interviews with 16\u00a0ex-pirates\u00a0and pirate associates and a number of other locals and experts, the study provides first-hand insights into some of the conditions, circumstances, and processes\u00a0which may serve to discourage involvement and continued\u00a0engagement\u00a0in piracy. Furthermore, it analyses factors and circumstances which may encourage and facilitate disengagement\u00a0from these criminal activities and\u00a0reintegration\u00a0into non-criminal economic activities and social relationships. The lack of employment and livelihood motivated individuals to engage\u00a0in piracy. However, disappointment about the lack of expected profit, coupled with the prospect of a licit income, influenced some to end their piracy involvement. Another important factor was the strong statements by local Muslim leaders that piracy was\u00a0haram<\/i>\u00a0(forbidden). This was often reinforced by family and community objections to their involvement in piracy. Family members also played important roles in facilitating their\u00a0disengagement. The \u2018Alternative Livelihood to Piracy\u2019 project played a positive role in facilitating\u00a0disengagement\u00a0from piracy, working closely with local religious leaders and the communities.<\/p>\n
