The Gulf of Guinea is a key area in African trade, located in the northernmost part of the Atlantic Ocean. In 2003, there were 39 piracy attacks alone. The issue of piracy in the gulf of guinea first came about sometime in the early 2000s, for example, the attack on January 4th of 2009, when a group of pirates hijacked a French ship, which was freed after 4 days of being held. However, there were attacks going on up to around seven years before this particular attack, as it is just one of many.

The pirates in West Africa had committed attacks on 966 seafarers during the year of 2012, as well as holding hostages for an average of four days. These captives were reported being at a much greater risk to violence than those in the Indian Ocean, of which a total of five hostages were reported dead due to these attacks in West Africa, with no other fatalities being reported elsewhere.

Since then, between 2015 and 2016, there was a 77% piracy raise in the area. By 2015, there had been 57 noted attacks that year. The International Maritime Bureau reported that the number of attacks occurring in West Africa had, by 2012, surpassed those of the ones in the Indian Ocean.

It is also noted that the three main elements that were released as a sure way to overcome a piracy issue, those elements being a sufficient amount of men ready to fight back, the legal and political areas of the state to be hands-on in terms of fighting back, and a non-corrupt anti-piracy team located within the government, are all elements that Nigeria lacks. These elements are vital to ridding the state of the piracy issue.

The Turkish Maritime Task Group has expressed the desire to help Nigeria rid itself of its piracy issue by working with the Nigerian Navy to eliminate these activities and operations. The Turkish Naval commander has announced that these efforts would be made in order to maintain safe sea affairs and communications within the gulf, as well as to support the on-going efforts of tackling the piracy issue. This would contribute to the Turkish Naval personnel the opportunity to present their ideas regarding the issue. The plan is to present Turkish ideals as to how to stop such illegalities and present to Nigeria new strategies when it comes to handling such vessel attacks.

"It is with great regret that i must confirm that the wizard styling himself Lord - well, you know who i mean - is alive and among us again," said Fudge, looking tired and flustered as he addressed reporters.

HISTORY _{of @Nameless Name}

The Beginning. An unpleasant topic for some. An ignored topic for many. But science doesn't comply with social standards, nor does it avoid taboo topics. Science is about truth, and the truthabout magical blood is that it is a rare trait. Those who have it are capable of doing things beyond imagination for those who do not.

_{FIRST MAGICAL}
──────────────────

^{We call wizards pure-bloods because they've proven to have pure-blood parents. This is applicable to several long-lasting Houses that treat blood "purity" seriously and avoid any so-called "mixing" They deserve appreciation of being determined in their beliefs but we will dive into it later.}

─

_MUGGLE-BRO
──────────────────

^{We call wizards muggle-bros as they are incredible. They are the children of fate, as both of their parents are pure muggles. If they are muggles, it means their whole line has only muggles, supposedly. And thus they become rare gems of evolution.}

──────────

HALF-BLOOD
──────────────────

^{We call all the other ones half-blood because they are free, aware of their magical heritage but without placing themselves into the tight borders of the fanatic following of blood purism. Some of those half-blood wizards tend to call themselves differently. If both their parents are wizards - wizard-born. It's up to you, really.}

B	_{before Hogwarts some not care about their blood while others have started wars}

_{in the name of blood purity? What are they afraid of? We can suggest that the concept of blood purity was introduced by those who believe that wizardkind has become weaker by mixing their blood with muggles, muggle-borns and squibs. Is the power of magic actually fading away as the blood gets "mixed"? Indeed the books supposed that there were incredibly powerful wizards like the Hogwarts founders or merlin. Our age has seen a few very powerful wizards as well, like Albus Dumbledore and Lord Voldermort. But were they really that powerful? Would they be more powerful it they were pure-blood? Is there a cap in power for muggle-borns, like heroine Granger, beyond which the magical capabilities can be developed? Which hypothesis can we come up with to test our observations, besides just the blood mixing concept? Myabe a long time ago and that knowledge is now lost. Maybe we eat the wrong food, the world becomes more pollutes and something else besides blood makes the wizardkind weaker. maybe it's the muggle technology that's been spreading across the globe and interfering with magic. Maybe the powerful wizards have fewer children and their power is not transmitted to future generations. Or... magic itself is simply fading out of the world.

These statements may sound funny, or hilarious, or frightening. But let's ask our own inner scientist, and most importantly, our inner human - if magic really does become weaker, what can we do now to make the world better even without it?}
