piracy
Assistant Foreign Minister for African Affairs Mohamed Karim Sherif highlighted the importance of an intervention by the Somali authorities to secure the release of Egyptian sailors hijacked aboard the oil tanker M/T Eureka.
Two Egyptian citizens, an officer and an engineer were kidnapped, along with other people of different nationalities, as they were onboard of the cargo ship.
Since 2011, many unlicensed satellite TV channels have been launched to broadcast pirated movies.
Saud al-Qahtani, a senior adviser to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, called the piracy charges "baseless" and "unfounded".
