– Eritrean authorities seize 28 Yemeni fishing boats in Yemen's territorial waters
The weekly newspaper reported in a front page article that the Eritrean authorities confiscated as many as 28 fishing boats belonging to Yemeni fishermen during their fishing in Yemen's territorial waters. The newspaper quoted press sources as saying that the Yemeni Coast Guards seized an Eritrean boat while it was chasing fishing boats in Yemen's territorial waters. The boat was seized in the Yemeni Island of Akban before it was taken along with the people onboard to political security.
From time to time, Yemeni fishermen and boats have been subjected to Eritrean piracy acts that assault Yemeni boats within the borders of the country's territorial waters and violate the Yemeni fishing laws. The Yemeni fishermen repeatedly complain of looting and piracy acts, exercised by the Eritrean authorities, although they fish in the territorial waters of their country.
