A few days ago a Russian oil ship was hijacked by Somalian pirates the government assures that all of the crew was safe. After hijaking the Russian ship they tried to hijack a South Korean vessel in which their attempt failed. This can affect us because there are different companies that export and import through those regions and if this happens it can affect a lot our economy.
