I found this news article quite interesting so I've desided to share this rather than the news of my country — Sudan.

Pirates have gradually attacked ships off Somalia's (a country in Africa) coast. They capture some and damaged some. The pirates would usually force the preys to give them money, then free them.
AHH!!!! HELP PRIATE ATTACKS!!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES, OR RATHER SWIM FOR YOUR LIVES!!!
The pirates then took the American captain, Richard Phillips and held hostage in at a life boat.
Currently, the American navy is trying to get him out.
Although the American navy tried to save him, they say that 4 pirates fired at them in order to prevent them from coming closer.
They couldn't get Captain Phillip to land safely, but the rest of his crews are. His crews said that the reason they were safe was because their captain had risked his life for all of his crews.
