Eyl might be pirate central, but the WaPo reported the other day that they're using the booty to buy real estate in Nairobi -- sort of a Kenyan stimulus package.

Of course, Nairobi isn't exactly a beauty spot, except as compared to Eyl.

F-15 Strike Eagle could clean that place out. Do not see anything that looks like a pier. They must push boats out against the surf.
