Africa does not know how to tell any other story than this one:

Later, as the pirates were motoring back to shore in boats, "singing in colorful tone, and exchanging some ridiculous words," one boat capsized and five pirates — who could not swim — drowned. According to my friend Mohamed Omar Hussein, a reporter for Somali Weyn Radio in Mogadishu, other Somalis who were "great swimmers" dove to recover cash that the pirates had sealed in plastic bags. On shore, "pastoralists" collected money that washed up in the surf. Later the body of one drowned pirate was found on the beach with $153,000 on his person.

Mai we!
