They are 'Pirates of the Caribbean' and cute little Johnny Depps they are not. This year alone, brazen Somali pirates have attacked 95 vessels. The corsairs still hold 16 ships and up to 300 sailors.
Last week a mix of water and sanitation experts gathered for World Water Week in Stockholm, Sweden to mull over the world's biggest public health crisis. The problem is that not enough people paid attention.
