I see also in gobolka jigjiga that’s my place lots of oil on the map man that must have been my town harti sheikh.

Its a damn shame. Oil coulda been drilled back then and the 70s... but then everything got nationalized by the government.
even if it proceeds today, just look at Nigeria...you think somalis can do better than them?
They could but it will trigger clan wars even further puntland with their financial power will do everything to capture xammer and keep it in check. Using the federal card. But there will be lots of corruption , they will finance their government, there will be lots of opposition , but it will keep Somalia divided the regions where the oil will benefit from it , it wont unite Somalis.
