If they return to our lands we will open fire again.
The ensuing clashes will make international headlines.
The IC, donor countries and SFG will all become involved.

I think this oil/snm unit is a fine idea.

we are diggin in xudun boyy, what are u gonna do about it

[Jabuutawi]

Idoors are putting the cart before the horse. First it was printing passports without recognition by even one country. Now they are creating a thug unit to protect oil workers where no substantial oil is to be found. What is next, an air force squadron before the first F-35's are purchased?

Hear ye! Hear Ye! ictiraaf is coming soon - we think?

s/l badly needs some good news stories to feed the expectant iidoor masses.

I fully support the $50mn worth unit that will produce the nation $500mn worth of oil per annum. They need to keep all terrorists at bay especially the Khaatumo horsemen as we un-tape the biggest one of them all in Huddun then Taleh.

The horsemen will be chased back to Ethiopian hideouts as usual with the few rusted pick-up trucks.

The new unit has working capital bigger than the entire Puntland budget.

what bothers me that there is no need for OPU in Oodwyne or Saraar but yet Genel is refusing to put boots on the ground till that happens

Why Silanyo did not smooth the atmosphere in Odeweyne and resolve the matter diplomatically instead of relying on force!? those 2 Billion Barrels of oil could be exported by next year boosting our slim budget by over 300 million dollar.

Hawdian.....we don't need to go toe toe with the opu....all we need to do is put the fear into the foreigners.
If they feel their lives are in danger they'll pack up and leave.

Siilanyo is a falling old hag. He is far too soft on his Darod reer abti

[original dervish]

He doesn't want to wake a sleeping giant.....and reap the whirlwind.
No oil exploration in our lands.

[MrPrestige]

Original Dervish Why are you claiming our doing, It is SY that fired those shots at them which resulted in them exiting Xudun district.

[original dervish]

That was around Bohol......they came to Xudun and wanted to explore the mountains...but were chased off.
