Egyptian sailor recalls kidnapping in Somalia
Host journalist Sherif Amer hosted the eight Egyptian sailors who were released after being kidnapped in Somalia. They recounted details of the kidnapping operation, which occurred when armed pirates attacked them with various weapons, including machine guns and RPG launchers. The sailors explained that due to the oil tanker’s nature and the associated danger, responding to the attack was particularly difficult. They also indicated that the pirates quickly boarded the ship using a small boat and were heavily armed with advanced weapons, which caused them to feel intense fear. Following directives from the Egyptian president and in coordination with Somali officials, the sailors were released on May 2nd and returned to Egypt. The Egyptian embassy supervised their reception and arrangements for their repatriation.
