(Reuters) - Only two years after deciding to join in the piracy rampant off the Somalian coast, Saeed Yare is a dollar multi-millionaire. Leaning against the door of his luxury Toyota Landcruiser, one of the latest models in the seaside town of Bosasso, the Yare puffs on a cigarette. "It is not an easy job being a pirate. You gamble with your life, but I enjoy being a piracy tycoon," says the slim 27-year-old, dressed in a sharp suit he says is Italian. "The piracy business is like a presidential seat, you don't want to give it up once you taste its sweetness. A friend of mine died in the recent navy operation -- but he left one million dollars!" Yare said, referring to a botched rescue attempt that left four U.S. citizens dead. Yare said he made $2.4 million in 2010: $1.2 million for investing in the venture that led to the hijacking of the British-flagged Asian Glory, another $700,000 for Saudi tanker Al Nisr Al Saudi and $500,000 for Bulgarian vessel Panega. "I earned more cash after investing in two operations and personally participating in a separate hijacking, all were successful," he said. "I spent some of the cash on weapons, private bodyguards, luxury cars, trucks, a boat and three villas. And I still have enough to use until another ship is hijacked." Armed pirate gangs have made millions of dollars striking at ships in the vast expanse of the Indian Ocean, as far south as the Seychelles islands and eastwards towards India. Yare abandoned a lucrative trade in khat, a sure-fire route to amassing riches in the Horn of Africa country, when he saw former fishermen getting even richer by piracy. He befriended a pirate who advised him to "invest" $80,000 to help carry out a hijacking and expect a 50 percent return of $120,000 once ransom was paid. "I got inspired to be a pure pirate in 2009. First, I set off into the sea with them and captured a Saudi oil tanker that made us lick our fingers -- a hell of a lot of cash!" FLASHY LIFESTYLE Yare was thrust into his father's trade of fishing at the age of nine and was expected to contribute to the family's income by the time he became a teenager. He took up selling khat after saving enough to import a batch of the stimulant from neighbouring Kenya. But even returns as high as 300 percent from selling the mild narcotic were not enough for the ambitious young man. He turned to piracy to fuel a flashy lifestyle.

BBC Africa Editor Mary Harper describes how she came to report on a remarkable green field dairy farm in the middle of the desert in a rejuvenated Somaliland. I didn’t believe a word Abdullah Farah was saying when he first told me about his farm. I had met him by chance in the Man-Soor Hotel while reporting for Assignment in Hargeisa, the capital of Somaliland – a dry, arid territory that broke away from Somalia 20 years ago and classed by the BBC as a ‘hostile environment’. Like so many Somalilanders, Abdullah had fled the territory during a civil war in the 1980s. He ended up as a refugee in Canada, where, from nothing, he built up a lucrative business. But he had returned to his homeland to set up what he told me was the “Green Valley Dairy Farm”. Desert oasis I’m sorry to say that I laughed at him and joked that he was living in some kind of fantasy land because I could never imagine such a thing in Somaliland. On my journey through the territory, I had seen hardly any green vegetation and certainly no dairy cows. Just camels and goats. He asked if I’d like to visit and I couldn’t resist, so the next day we set off early in the morning in his dusty jeep. We flew across the sand at great speed, bouncing and leaping across territory that is still being cleared of the hundreds of thousands of landmines planted there during the civil war. Suddenly, in stark contrast to the sandy landscape, appeared an expanse of bright green. I thought I had seen a mirage, but there, built amongst the lush fields, was a green cowshed, full of black and white dairy cows. Somaliland pioneers Mr Farah didn’t know anything about farming when he started the project, but he wanted to produce fresh milk in Somaliland because many people, including his father, suffer from weak bones caused by calcium deficiency. “I learned all of this from the internet,” he said, laughing. His can-do attitude and spirit of adventure was something I encountered a lot in Somaliland, especially amongst those people who had returned from exile overseas. I came to think of them as the ‘Somaliland pioneers’. Boom town Somaliland doesn’t have access to big international loans because it doesn’t officially exist as a country. Its government is poor and weak, but business people and local communities are rebuilding Somaliland from the rubble of war. Twenty years ago, Hargeisa was called the ‘Dresden of Africa’ – the city had been flattened by systematic aerial bombardment by Somali government forces. Now it is a boom town and many of the roads, bridges, schools and hospitals have been built with private money. Some Somalilanders have contributed millions of dollars, others perhaps a camel, a goat or a few shillings.
