“In a 45-minute-long interview, Mr. Sugule expounded on everything from what the pirates want — ‘just money’ — to why they were doing this — ‘to stop illegal fishing and dumping in our waters’ — to what they eat — rice, meat, bread, spaghetti, ‘you know, normal human-being food.’
He said that so far, in the eyes of the world, the pirates had been misunderstood. ‘We don’t consider ourselves sea bandits,’ he said. ‘We consider sea bandits those who illegally fish in our seas and dump waste in our seas and carry weapons in our seas. We are simply patrolling our seas. Think of us like a coast guard.’”
