Pipelines

Modern pipelines are installed with and other control devices (pumps and valves) to efficiently move liquids, gases, slurries (solid particulates in liquid suspension) and even solids. Pipelines usually consist of welded sections of metal pipe, but other materials in common use include plastics, concrete, and clay.

Sections can be as small as five cm (two inches) in diameter, and as wide as 9 meters (30 feet ). Pipelines are an excellent way to transport liquids and gasses because they cause less harm to the environment, are not as susceptible to theft, and are more cost-efficient, convenient, and consistent than rail or truck.

Pneumatic tubes using compressed air have even been utilized to transport solids, although they are more difficult and expensive to send through pipelines than are liquid and gas. Nonetheless, pipelines have successfully carried coal, grains, stones and gravel, cement and concrete, solid wastes and sewage, wood pulp, industrial parts, and other items.

Maritime Piracy in the Horn of Africa:

The Horn of Africa, strategically positioned at the nexus of global trade routes, has long faced the specter of maritime piracy. The waters off Somalia, in particular, have been notorious for piracy incidents that have disrupted international shipping, imperiled seafarers, and prompted multinational military responses. This region's unique combination of socio-economic, political, and geographic factors has engendered a breeding ground for modern piracy, posing complex challenges for the international community
