There's an Al Jazeera video linked to the one you posted, with a barely-decipherable spokesman from The Mombasa (Kenya)-based “East African Seafarers’ Assistance Programme” that seems to be the middleman for the pirates.

As near as I could make out, he was blaming the piracy on a history of foreign "fishing vessels" stealing Somalia's fish, as well as gun-running by foreign ships in Somalian waters.

So, you see, it's all good, and just and noble. I think Obama, who blames everything on Western colonialists, and nothing on the perpetually downtrodden and self-pityingly victimized indigenous people of color, would agree.

Oh, and Eyl is a pile of rubble, it appears, but they're moving on up -- to Nairobi -- with their pirate money...

It wouldn't do any good trying to reduce this sh!thole to rubble. It already is rubble!
