Galgadud-Uranium Deposits

[Ican]

Can someone who's familiar with the region answer these questions please.

Is Galgadud mostly hawiye degan, or mixed?

Wikipedia article says galgadud has the largest uranium deposits in Africa, can anybody verify? If so, why are there no companies mining there?

[gurey25]

i remembering hearing that they make up 5% of the worlds reserves.

Habar Gidr and Uranium are a bad mixture. THE IAEA would be up in arms if they could sell it on the black market

[gurey25]

Uranium is not the problem,
i dont think it would raise many eyebrows if you sold it by the ton.

Niger sells it to anyone who has the money,

enrichment technology on the other hand will get an immediete response,.

Gurey

Obviously the enrichment of Uranium is the key. However say the ICU took control of somalia and they were shipping large quantities of Uranium to IRAN. Don't you think a few western eye brows would be raised?

[paidmonk]

The Iranians are coming! The Iranians are coming! Watch out ilko yar cousins!!

[gurey25]

can you prove that statement?

Iran already has large deposits and does not import uranium and the ICU does not have an active mine working in galgadud.

it all a load of bull

Theoretical sxb. Not saying that the ICU had mines in Dhuusamareeb.

But here look at an article I found.

It talks about What ifs and alot of BS. But the possibilities aren't far off.

not true. a french company has the contract and the french government controls who buys Niger's uranuim. it supplies the french nuclear power plants (biggest in europe) and military nuclear industries.

However, this would explain America's interest in the region. If not outright interest, interest in not having Somalia influenced by someone else.

gurey25,

You sound like you are familiar with the ways of the underworld?

excuse me.......I mean 'informal economy'

[gurey25]

it is an essential part of business in this sort of world.

its a bit of an art form as well,
you have to give the gifts and carry favour sometimes well in advance,

[Gedo_Boy]

yeah, I had a close relative who was very social to begin with, and then he went to Dubai.

He did everything from hang out with Bedouins, to falcon hunting with 'Sheiks', to helping West African Magic Men exchange counterfeit Euros

I heard you can feel there is something wrong in that place like in the water and the soil
