In 2008, the group attacked 29 ships, earning $10m (£6m). Abdul Hassan, who pocketed $350,000, arrived with a small crew on a beach near Hobyo, on the border between Galmudug and Puntland states, before going on an attack to another ship

From Hobyo's beach, three different ships captured by the pirates can be seen. The one pictured is Japanese, and was attacked in September. The ship and its crew will remain there until the end of the negotiations between the pirates and the ship's insurance company. The Ukrainian ship MV Faina is also nearby, but is too far out to sea to be seen from the beach

从霍比亚海滩可以看到三艘被海盗拦劫的船。图中那艘是日本船只，它在今年9月被袭击。在海盗同这艘船的保险公司谈妥前，这艘船以及上面的船员将一直停留在那里。乌克兰船只MV Faina也在附近，但它离海岸太远了无法从海滩看到它。

On Wednesday October 29 2008, the Somalian president gave the greenlight for foreign troops to attack pirates within Somalian territory. In response, pirates are getting ready for the fight. A convoy of five trucks, each carrying five boats, goes through Galcayo on its way to Hobyo to supply the pirates

2008年10月29日，周三，索马里总统给外国军队开了绿灯，允许他们在索马里领土内打击海盗。作为回应，索马里海盗们也做好了战斗的准备。图为海盗的卡车队，五辆卡车，每辆装载了5艘快艇，正浩浩荡荡的经加尔卡约驶向霍比亚去补给那边的海盗们。

This Hobyo Branch store in Galkayo is supplying the pirates with food, drink and cigarettes. They call the owner to order what they need; then a truck goes from Galkayo to Hobyo with the items and sells them to the pirates for twice the normal price, partly contributing the country's inflation

这个位于加尔卡约的霍比亚海滩小店为海盗提供食品、饮料和香烟。海盗们打电话给店主订购需要的东西，然后一辆载着物品的卡车就会从加尔卡约开往霍比亚，以两倍的价格将东西卖给海盗，也算是为索马里的通货膨胀做了点贡献。（索马里没有给出通胀率的官方数字，唯一肯定的一点是通胀率非常高。目前索马里先令对美元的汇率为1387.77：1。
原因：1991年索马里政权倒台后，其整个银行系统随之崩溃，一些地区甚至建立了自己的中央银行。索马里货币系统目前缺乏中央调控机构，投资者自己制定规则及汇率，假币也因此泛滥。由于中央银行已不再印制纸币，投资商及军阀势力在加拿大和东南亚一带自行印制新先令并运回国内使用。世界银行估计，该国流通的80%货币都是假币或再版币。在索马里，500先令仅能喝一杯茶。）

Galkayo is in the centre of Somalia, near the states of Hobyo and Puntland, and also near Ethiopia. Despite its strategic location, the city remains very poor, unemployment is very high and violence is part of everyday life. Pirates have a relatively high standing and are starting to build themselves big houses and businesses with their money. Now they represent the dream of success for many of the men living in Galkayo

加尔卡约位于索马里中心，在霍比亚州和波德兰德州附近，也临近埃塞俄比亚。尽管地处战略位置，这个城市却非常贫穷，失业率居高不下，暴力横行。海盗享有相对较高的社会地位，并且用劫取的钱为他们自己造大房子、做生意。现在他们已经成了众多加尔卡约人成功梦的代表。

Due to the security risks in Somalia, visitors require private escorts of armed men at all times to avoid being attacked by the different militias operating in the area. Fifteen armed men were required as escorts for the photographer, Veronique de Viguerie
