"The reasons piracy is thriving off the Somali coast include the state of anarchy in Somalia since the early 1990s. Civil war destroyed the government, and in 2006, Ethiopia invaded, (with American aid), to prevent the rise of an Islamic government in Somalia. Also, as a result of the fall of the Somali government,
foreign fishing ships began fishing the lucrative tuna catch off the Somali coast, thereby causing
economic damage to the Somali fishing industry"

Somali Pirate named
Asad 'Booyah' Abdulahi:"At sea foreign fishing vessels often confronted us. Some had no licence, others had permission from the Puntland authorities but did not want us there to compete. They would destroy our boats and force us to flee for our lives."
I started to hijack these fishing boats in 1998."
SOURCE
For those who want a summary basically Foreign countries illegally dump god knows what in Somali waters and illegally fish there as well killing Somali's source of income. So with them being fed up, they pirate.
