Keep an eye on this gentlemen. Africa Oil, a partner of Range Resources (both australian companies) are commencing first phase of oil exploration in their contracted blocks.

Why would they do this when there is no stability, all it will do is lead to conflict.

Are these guys not aware of what goes in Sudan, Nigeria, Congo etc. all of these conflicts are rooted in oil.

its about money. you have people that are not even authorized to make deals making deals left and right with foreigners using false documents for profit. corruption is everywhere in africa.

An entire army is needed to protect these guys, Puntland's security has dropped significantly to southern standards. smh.

I oppose this development, Puntland doesn't have the political nor the socio-economic foundation to handle this kind of shit. People don't realize how much of a joke this is.

Range Resources and African Oil hired and equipped their own private army to guard production.

Why are the Al-shabab going to invade? The Dharoor basins is not the one in dispute sxb, the Nogal basin is and that is being worked out as we speak. By the way, the gas company under taking this gas exploration got a warm wlc by elders from this area.

Puntland State of Somalia has every right to explore it's given land the land they claim to rule that falls under Puntland State. Puntland is a Friend of Somaliweyn and not an enemy. Puntland has and will always be for a Federal Government and will also fall under a strong federal Government in Mogadishu.

We will always stand strong as a State. This is just the beginning of a state that is trying to defind it's self as the heart of Somalia and the number 1 key player in Somali politics. Nothing shall stop this State from gaining wealth and leading the Somali Nation.

Inshallah the revenues will be shared with the whole Somali Nation if oil is found and god willing it will be found.

As long as My Uncle is Financial Minister of Puntland his excellency Mr. Gaab Gaab the revenue will reach as far as Seattle. :mrgreen:

As for Karkaar its a reer abaatiy land they don't need real revenues as long as they get a goat once in a while. :mrgreen:

80% of Puntland's revenue is used privately by Cadde Musse.

What makes anyone believe that oil will make things different? Puntland State is a worthless corpse, it doesn't serve the public and its leaders don't represent anyone in the region. When all the schools, hospitals, roads, and urban planning was built by civilians and NGOs, where does the Puntland administration come into the picture?

Dharoor Block exploration will go smoothly and Cadde's relatives won't even see the income, let alone the whole population of Qardo. Be aware that there will be no exploration in the Nugaal Block because the people there tend to use their heads quite often.

^^^ Ninyaho in Puntland iyo the rest of Somalia and the whole of Africa the only thing we want and expect from our Governments is safe heaven,Security.

All that is Needed is security at the end of the day. That was the objective of his excellency President Abduallhi Yusuf when he headed Puntland and the state boomed!!!

We the people can take care of the rest. We will built our own schools and business and we will live well off lives.
