French General Says Somali Piracy Is Over

From IHS Maritime 360 –
According to general Jean François Hogard, commander of the French forces in the southern zone of the Indian Sea (FAZSOI), piracy in the seas around Somalia no more poses a risk to commercial shipping.
However, the general, who has just completed his three-year term as head of Réunion-based FAZSOI, warned President James Michel of Seychelles that the causes of piracy have not yet been eradicated.
