Meanwhile, a group of Somali fishermen are going after the pirates.

Of course, the BBC labels them with the contemptuous word “vigilantes”.

When there is no duly constituted, effectively operating law enforcement, what choice do people have?

Interesting. I think there’s a historical precedent for that too. As I recall governments in the colonial era payed captains to capture pirates.
