Al Qarra - In the port of Abidjan, a maritime surveillance brigade set out in wooden pirogue. Without arms, and equipped only with their mobile phones to communicate, the burden is high. <br /><br />Their mission is to hold the front line against piracy in piracy’s new hot spot in the Gulf of Guinea. <br /><br />Until recently, Ivory coast’s maratime survillence brigade barely managed to control crime, and over the last few months, the country has witnesses numerous attacks carried out by Nigerian gangs.
