Was any money paid out to the pirates eventually???

Totally agreed 👍

I hardly watch tv anymore other than live football

At least TV doesn't have adverts inturrupting every 2 minutes

Just need to get rid of the censorship

TV has been dead for over ten years. It just hasn't realised yet.

I literally imagined it all

Like a Captain Philips thing

Its called thinking lol

@@emanuelpryor5303 shut up

That's what you usually do, when someone is telling a story. The receptors of the brain area receives and processes the information, intel and data. Which then travels through the brain where you articulate emotions, envision the appearances of the mentioned characters.

Standard....

Nope don't talk about any sports that involves the use of a ball!

Don’t worry nobody is going to kidnap you and I can guarantee you that.

Italian football/maradonna van Bastien / ronaldo

@@jamieforder4567 that's not nice is it

Came to the comments to write this exact thing

You are right. I was lucky enough to be kidnapped alongside a photographer who is really good guy, with a brilliant sense of humour. It's such a bizarre experience being kidnapped that there's sometimes quite a lot to laugh about (as long as you're not being physically harmed). People sometimes find it odd that you can make light of the situation, but to be honest you need to keep your spirits up in some way - things are grim enough as they are.

@@grazingmail is that you in the interview?

@@jeffrey3434 yes

@@grazingmail did you ever find out why they freed you?

I imagine he's asked to tell this story frequently

Well he is a journalist

He is a journalist

And he doesn't say "like" all the time!

To be fair its a pretty incredible story that he has here.

@Heinous Anus would rather starve

@Heinous Anus theyd probably make you eat it as a torture method

@@Sturridge_FPL right on

more energy in a snickers though, worth the taste

He said a few mars bars and water.....surely it would be a mars milkshake because it would be melted?

You should come to one of my families Christmas parties.

Sameee

It’s called an imagination

@@adamcarey2528 That and the fact that the guy is a very good storyteller, he uses all the right words at the perfect pace

Like when he talked about wiping with a rock?

You have such good imagery perception

Oh, yeah, we were captives being shot at, hiding behind a boulder and lying in a pool of our own excrement. Not the most fun thing I've ever done...

It's like this guy and the woman who was with him went to a survival camp and other people who have been in captivity have been in torture Chambers or killed this guy is lucky af

I mean he did go to see how the pirates operated

@@georgetowle4977 aye he got a great first hand look lol

He put himself in a situation where he could at least get his story of being a westerner held captive. "OmG sUcH bRaVEry!"

$20/day is a lot of money in Somalia

It's not a small wage for them!

@@Sorel366 Yeah exactly, this person apparently never stepped outside their county lmao. 20 bucks is about 12k in Somalian currency.

@@anitaremenarova6662 that’s why they collected the wages then set him up on the last day

Victim-blaming rears its ugly head once again. Seems a favorite pastime among the comfy armchair toy soldier set.

Hes a very good researcher

Actually he was not only journalist. he was one British intelligence M16. Anybody who goes deep hinterland of no-go is gathering intelligence info. journalism is just cover story.

Man is dedicated

Somali no such word as Somalian

I dnt have sympathy for people that put themselves in these situations, good story tho

They woulda killed him in the spot 😂 If a somali guy isn’t the captain then we riot

😭😂😂😂

Ah I used to love watching that series. Nobody liked watching it with me tho as I would get too excited well more scared and loud and annoying when they were going through airport security. Screaming my armchair support for international drug smugglers 🤣🤣 top show

@@victoriadempster6728 damn lol! I'm a pretty quiet guy and get nervous when my friends get too loud *in public* but if it were in a home or apartment, then it sounds like you'd be fun to watch that show with! 😆👍

Sounds like something Alan Partridge would say

Yes I really can't believe they actually expected local Somali merceneries not to be pirates.

@@KristjanB Probably someone else recommended hiring these bodyguards and apparently they were not good people. But normally there's trusted private securities which provide protection to foreigners while they're in places that are not safe enough for them to roam around.

@@cnasir15 I wouldn't trust any locals or local companies. I mean they are living in Somalia, armed to the teeth and there is no governement or police so they can do whatever they want with no repercussion.

@@KristjanB actually, there is effective government in parts of somalia, like Northern Somalia which has two stable functioning administrations, somaliland and puntland, so in essence, visiting these regions and asking for government officials at the airport to provide armed security, is not only feasible but also trustworthy

garnet style

Have you watched Captain Philips? if not, do so.

Hahahahah

As a Somali, your clan which you've never met would come to your rescue or revenge, so yeah you're not worth the trouble 🤣🤣

@@boono2912 😂😂😂

Bloody racists…

Thank God, No Pirate in Somaliland.

Thankyou Pete!

Disagree

If you like smiling while Somali pirates kidnap and ransom you then yeah sure

You must have seen Captain Phillips? Pretty much the same story, just on a ship.

Welcome to 90% of content now, it's annoying isn't it!

I COMPLETELY AGREE! With two other people who also clicked. 🤔 We shape all media with our habits. Welcome to what we allowed to happen.

i didn't even release

My baby cousin slapped the shit outta me today cheeky fat boi, he is still very cute and i love him too much to even get a lil mad

I’m guessing it’s working under the assumption that they’d be killed, so they “escaped” in that they made it out alive. Also clickbait lol.

Very interesting

@@Rilu666 fuck around and find out? I work on these ships, and sometimes we have no guards. Stop trying to be a hard man on the Internet -_-

Preach brother. It's honestly about f**king time that the wests starts taking responsibility for their actions, and yes, I'm from the west

they did it for good reason at the start. but the west handed them so much money for ransom that their eyes went away from the cause to the money. so after that its a buisness. easy money no one gets to die as well.

You should go join them hahaha

@@rongentile6431 let this foreign poor people out of our way this only happens to foreign coming to Somalia it’s literally the reason why the pirates we’re created to not let this whites steal out things h

Or under their roads, as my country (Italy) had been doing for years.

Especially the lying down in piss and shit bit.

Sitting not lying down 😂

why apologize for something you had absolutely nothing to do with ?? Especially when western media & content creators tarnish Somalia's reputation by constantly attaching us to piracy. They're probably only uploading this video with its clickbait title just to gain views and continue perpetuating the propaganda that our country is dangerous & filled with pirates. smh

@@user-gm8wd4fv6z it has something to do with me smh since the perpetrators are fellow Somalis. By the way The media people get their revenues from the views so of course they doing what are doing for that I am just sorry and apologetic that small number of people are doing bad things in our name When most of us are decent people I am sorry that a country like ours which is full of potential is ravaged by monsters wether they are, the pirates, terror organisation, foreign powers and brainless politicians There a lot of things that pains me which I wish were otherwise

@@yusufgahnoug843 You are not responsible for someone else because you share an ethnicity, that is a dangerous mindset.

Well done for being mature enough to recognise this

@@user-gm8wd4fv6z because we can apologize for our fellow humans. Its a thing.

If these pirates everytime killed those they kidnapped, then undoubtedly no one will agree to negotiate and pay the ransom request.

*somalis

Somali* u nacas

one word LACAQ

Other tribes probably negotiated their release for whatever they were offered to do so I'd imagine

Haha brilliant! Need to watch all them again!

Think what's its doing to the mechanism.

😂😂😂 #Cadankawalawasa

Because pirates are the most "kindest samaritans" in the world! And more than anything want to see their nation's economy and society to prosper!

So you’d just let them kill you then ?

It's alright they'd just put you down as died of Covid-19 anyways
