Abstract

This study examines a holistic historical analysis of piracy in Oro Nation waterways, from the pre-colonial period to the contemporary era. In studying the evolution of piracy in the Oro Nation, this research uncovers the complexity and interplay of political, economic, and social issues, which accounted for the unabated persistence of this maritime and coastal security threat. The study emphasizes how piracy has adapted in response to shifting historical contexts, including colonialism, the pursuit of independence, and current security challenges. The research adopts a qualitative historical method weaved through an examination of primary and secondary sources. This study reveals the historical patterns of piracy in Oro Nation's waterways and recommends effective measures such as policies, community engagement, international cooperation, and continuous monitoring to address it.
