Somali Officials Deny Selling Oil Rights

[Alluring]

People just forget about what happened to Somalia as if it just appeared.

A country doesn't destroy itself, remember that. While you are sleeping on your comfortable bed!

Jr, you could philosophize the matter all you like, but Screw made a very good point. And if we are to be a "Democratic" state, all critical national affairs (i.e. oil deals) are to be scrutinized just to ensure there's no corruption and greed and in our case here, to prove these men are as greedy as we know them to be.

Demure is just mad because The oil is in Puntland.

The chinese are doing there searches in North MUDUG coming october.

[Demure]

UncleBin, So you think. I could care less actually because I don't think there's really oil in Somalia that is. Secondly, nowadays I'm for separate independent states for the different qabiils therefore, I have nothing against Puntland or Somaliland, I think the rest of us should follow suit, dismantle the useless TFG and call it a day.

Damure.

Of course am all of what you said, but I dislike a cockroach who can't assume responsiblity; on any given everything and given yet chance and still want to chase Punland to politics.

Typical Hawiye Ciil. Conoco in the 1980's wouldn't have built an airport in Garoowe. The Chinese wouldn't seek out concessions in North Mudug if they didn't believe there was recoverable oil.


As to the different states. I am sorry dear Puntland and all other federal states will be in Somalia and will come under the TFG.

Thats just the waaaaaaaaaaaaay it is.

Exploration rights in Somalia for Chinese oil giant CNOOC

CNOOC, the Chinese state oil giant has been granted permission to explore for oil in part of Somalia, one of Africa’s most volatile regions. This move highlights China’s enthusiasm in its search for natural resources.

Somalia has been a forbidden area for US oil companies since the early 1990’s following its descent into anarchy. The capital, Mogadishu, has experienced severe violence for the last 16 years. However, this has not put off CNOOC and in June the group met with Somali government officials in Nairobi to thrash out the details of its planned exploration, due to begin in the autumn. The deal with Somalia’s government gives it exploration rights in the north Mudug region, 310 miles north-east of the capital.

The US Energy Information Administration has commented that Somalia has no established oil reserves and only 200bn cubic feet of proved natural gas reserves, which have not been tapped.

Exploration concessions were held by companies including Conoco and Phillips, now known as Amoco, part of BP and Chevron, this took place in the late 1980’s but they left the country after dictator Mohamed Siad Barre was overthrown during civil war in 1991.

The information collected by oil companies has formed the basis of current interest in Somalia. An oil group listed in Sydney, Range Resources, anticipates that the Puntland province, which includes the Mudug region, has the potential to produce 5 billion to 10 billion barrels of oil.

A new national oil law is being prepared by the government. Its choice to permit CNOOC exploration rights in Puntland could cause a dispute with local authorities, which have provided Range Resources exploration rights elsewhere in the province.

Jr*, You really need to stop being so cryptic, mostly your point gets lost in the transilation. Regardless, as long as Somalia's umbrella is used to award shady deals to certain groups, we will all have a say, now if we stop assuming "Somaliweyn"... Puntland can be exploited and likely no one will protest from the South.

Uncle, Dadkiina waa la yaabe truelly, does it make you feel manly to think others envy you? Or do you want this "envy" geared towards you so bad that you shove your measurable development down our throats to make us Southerners believers of your makeshift? Does it kill you that we don't care about North much?

PS. If you want TFG so bad, take them to Puntland I would imagine they will fit better there than in Xamar, let them make you a country.

Cuqdad 102.

Puntland will stay and because your calacaal xasuuq cries will never be heard it makes it all the more merrier.

yesterday you were pro Islamic courts and even though you have a very anti islamic tone. That was when they where running from town to town trying to occupy others.

But because the TFG which is headed by a native puntlander and is cleaning the moryaan filth by any means neccesary makes you and the other thousands of calacaaling moryaans cry further.

Your hate is obvious. If there were a single oil company in Ceelbuur or Dhuusamareeb you wouldn't have the tone you have now. But since you know billions of barrels lie under that 'North' as you say, you feel contempt and the extreme cuqdad oozes threw your hutu narrative.

Puntland cleaning moryaans from moryaan villages since 1869.

aren't we mad! Btw, lem me ask you this: If you were really that mad about Darood why didn't come to me? Surely you could have done better-name-calling?

[Demure]

Loool. If you ask me you and your ilk are the only ones Calaacaling about Puntland. I don't understand why if it's doing so well?

Uncle, your major problem is you assume too much and that is what makes you waning in your makeshift! It will do you well to snap out of this delusion.

Are we fond of assuming the non-existent here as well? Who said anything about Darood what makes you think I'm illuding to Darood or otherwise?

Delusions are hoping and praying for the TFG to relocate to Puntland.

Delusions are hoping that a somali region with oil doesn't have no oil because it will further that clan.

These are perfect examples of delusions.

Continue the calacaal. Nobody is calacaaling in puntland. They talk like peaceful people and protest. They do not however act like your moryaan kin by shooting the person who doesn't agree with them.

That is the act of savagery and the people of puntland have come all the way from the glorious land to rescue the savages.

I always doubted about you: You are not saying anything of new....and neither from people you descended from.......

[Demure]

Uncle, reasoning with you is like talking to a wall! Yes I would rather have a disunity in Somalia than A. Yusuf and Co. anyday! It's hard for you to believe it but it has nothing to do with their qabiil or origin.

On a final note, if there is really an oil in Somalia time would prove it wouldn't it? Don't get your hopes so high. Additionally, maxaan ku dhihi lahaa don't listen to odayasha oo shaqa la'aanta kabadatay and to come up with your own opinions which you could rationally support sans the accusations of cuqdad, slave mentality,...etc! This reasons are already a broken record.

Jr, and you know the people I descended from? is this by any chance derived from your assumptions? or is it Uncle's that tipped the scale?
