The fishermen of the Somali coastline had complained about foreign commercialships that had trespassed to either dump chemical waste or carry out illegal fishing of massive scale. As a result of the ongoing civil war and lack of official coast guards, shipping companies from various countries took advantage of the situation. Local fishermen with simple small boats were unable to fish in their territorial water and were intimidated by the presence of the foreign ships with their illegal activities.Idris, Roble and their other fishermen friends had no other choice but taking matters into their own hands by confronting the foreign ships. It turned out that these ships were owned by wealthy and powerful businessmen who would not allow “pirates” stand in their way. The fishermen friends planned on using a non violent approach to demand a ransom from the commercial ship owners who were making millions from their coast but their plan did not work as smoothly as they were hoping. The situation escalated to a nightmare but they could not back down now. However way it went from here, there would be a high price paid: Either in money or life.

Tillfälligt slut
Abdi-Rizaq och Abdi-Qani, enäggstvillingar födda i Milano, är resultatet av en tonårsförälskelse mellan Elmi och Leyla, två migranter från Somalia. När deras drömmar om framtiden krockar, fattar de ett hjärtskärande beslut: att skilja bröderna åt och uppfostra dem i olika länder.
Abdi växer upp som ett påhittigt och livfullt barn, ensam med sin förälder. Men bakom hans sprudlande fasad pågår en inre kamp – en ständig känsla av utanförskap och en identitet som slits mellan två kulturer. När pressen från skolan och samhället till slut blir för stor, tar han ett ödesdigert beslut som vänder hans värld upp och ner.
Drift och konsekvens är en gripande berättelse om kärlek, familj och det eviga sökandet efter tillhörighet. Kan Abdi hitta sin plats i en tillvaro fylld av förväntningar, uppoffringar och brustna band?
PRESENTATIONFarhia Farah började skriva i de tidiga tonåren, då hon skapade alternativa slut till böcker som lämnade henne otillfredsställd. Hennes författarskap har sedan dess utvecklats till ett modigt utforskande av komplexa och kontroversiella ämnen. I debutromanen They Call Us Pirates skildrar hon somaliska pirater ur ett nytt och nyanserat perspektiv, bortom de stereotypa framställningarna i mainstreammedia. Farhia drivs av viljan att ge röst åt berättelser som sällan blir hörda och att utmana förutfattade meningar.
