      I think in this case they would be privateers, as they have government backing.

      Semantics though, as privateers are just “pirates with permission to pirate certain groups over others”

      Either way, “criminals and terrorists hijack peaceful convoy bound to deliver aid to genocide victims”

      And kidnapped the crew.

      Boy I remember the Houthi headlines. All of those words like “piracy, hijack, armed men, kidnap” etcetera are suddenly nowhere to be found in the media headlines.
