Conflict between pirates

Those who live Haradhere, a town in Somalia known as the piracy capital of the world, are worried about the recent skirmishes between pirates.
"The largest ransom ever paid out to Somalia's sea-bandits touched off a cycle of raids and revenge killings that has already left seven people dead since Sunday, including a civilian," writes Mustafa Haji Abdinur in an article. The large ransom - and the issues of how it will be divided among the pirates - has caused conflict, and even the pirates are worried about how it will be resolved.
