Somaliland's burgeoning gemstone mining industry

[Ben Dover]

...Business side, I'll set up a gem export company. Here [in Somaliland], there is everything: gold, diamonds, sapphires, opal, emerald, and ... »

Suddenly lowering the voice, he adds by scrolling the photos on his phone: "... antiques. Statuettes. Amulets. The black pharaohs, they passed by here. But no one comes to seek these treasures, because people assimilate Somaliland to the violence of the shebabs of Mogadishu. And that's good for my business. "The man smiled, crossing and uncrossing his lean legs, looking penetrated.

It all began in Nairobi, on a doubt to be cleared up. An experienced geologist from the Witwatersrand University in South Africa, Judith Kinnaird is contacted by the Humanitarian Aid Office of the European Commission based in the Kenyan capital.

"Someone had brought them gemstones from Somaliland and they were thinking of developing small businesses in this sector to fight against unemployment in the country, which amounts to more than 70%, explains the geologist in a Skype exchange . They asked me to verify the value of the stone they had received and its origin. It was a sapphire and, to authenticate its origin, I left for the first of my six movements on the spot. There I trained artisanal miners, studied fields and discovered a major potential for garnet, emerald, aquamarine, sapphire or opal. "

Attracting credible investors in this field is of outmost importance, it seems many of the exporters and middlemen working are in the industry at the moment are non-Somalilanders and out to take advantage of the locals. For instance you have this Syrian and Sri lankan chancers:

To convince his interlocutors, he points the blue stone with the light of his phone. Wissam says he has a bag filled with him, but prefers not to arouse the suspicions of his neighbors Somaliland. Low profile therefore, but verb high. "I have $ 20 million worth of diamonds," he says, his eyes folded, focused on the effect caused by his words.

This motherfucker has a bag full of stones of gems from Somaliland worth millions that I am sure he is not declaring to the government, he is planning to leave the country with the bag:

The two merchants admit they are struggling to find buyers for their treasures. Sitting beside him, Afrah, Somaliland's companion of Wissam, is more talkative about his financial situation: "Here, he has not sold anything. And with his Syrian passport, he can not go to Europe to meet the big buyers. In Hargeisa, he is not even able to find odd jobs because the Yemeni refugees monopolize all the manual jobs. So, we decided to try our luck in exile. "Not disassembled for so little, the Syrian dreamseller says:" I leave with a bag filled with half a kilo of diamonds. I'm not a refugee myself, I'm weighing millions! "

We need to stop him at the border. His name is Wissam. Please share so we catch this bastard.

What government? Oh that's right. The group of war criminals and illiterate thieves in Hargeisa that have joined hands in getting rich from fooling their masses into believing, "we are victims and we will get recognition because we are victims" nonsense. You are either part of the few in the scheme and getting your share or you're part of the majority that's clueless what's happening behind the curtains.

Why do you think Faysal Ali Waraabe, Muuse Bixi, Ciiro, Siilaanyo, Mohamed Kaahin, Saleeban Gaal, etc...all these old heads that have been part of Somalia's political platform since the 1960s are fighting tooth and nail into "leading" this clan enclave called Somaliland? They get rich while you fight for them. lol

[Ben Dover]

Boon Mareexan would not be able to pick a diamond from glass, what do you know?

But hey, dont take my word for it, let us ask an expert on one of the stones you see above:

This smoky quartz, for example, can bring in several thousand dollars, "he assures, examining his transparent body with a magnifying glass inherited from his father.
