Gold mining in Somaliland

[original dervish]

I'm definitely heading up to Cerigaabo the next time I visit Somalia.
I will make Jidali my jumping off point before trekking into the mountains insha'llah.

You mean Somaliland Coz ceerigaabo is Somaliland.

If I find gold insha'llah......you can call this dust blown stretch of nothing anything you want.

OD, your folk have no deegaans in the mountains, be careful out there

[original dervish]

Benny......do you know where Jidali is......it's at the foot of the Golis mountains.
This is my jumping off point.....from there I will move through the mountains taking samples as I go.

I have already marked out a route using google earth.....Jidali to Lassa Surad about 40km.
PS I will take your concern into account though.

[Ben Dover]

You strike that gold and you come on Snet and declare allegiance to the Ayatollah and your nation of Somaliland

[Futurist]

Im taking a shovel with me next time

Anything north of jidali is abdixamud degaan. midisho kulmiye. are gadhweyn territory.

No dhuloz lives next to the gold mine Benny. the kid is joking or he will give some money to abdixamud to look after him.

[original dervish]

When I strike gold folk will be swearing allegiance to me.
We don't need anyone's permission to enter Golis.....we are part of the locals.

[Ben Dover]

Suldaan, I am fully aware of the deegaan, but my strategy is to encourage even outsiders to come, I will set up a small pickaxes sale operation at the base of the mountains

OD, you can enter no problem, but if the locals see you digging they will ship you back to Las Anod real quick, or worse. Be careful out there, I would memorise the Somaliland national anthem, just in case

[original dervish]

I would suggest you consult a map of northern Sanaag.....specifically Jidali and the mountains north and east.
These are strongholds of beesha......LA is over 300km to the south.
PS pickaxes, shovels and donkey's will all be needed.
