Somaliland creates oil protection unit...Thoughts?

[original dervish]

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

of course they were

anyway you are lucky because that half breed siilanyo is protecting his reer abti. if mujahid biixi was the president it would be over for jebarti

[burcaawi14]

I think the oil companies will start their work in saaxil and togdheer. Eventually they'll come to eastern sool...Once there's proven hydro carbon reserves they will definitely exploit the oil. FYI a company could be 1000's of kilometres away from a reserve and do directional drilling

[original dervish]

Warabe.....don't you know where most of the proven reserves are?
Burcawi.....don't be silly sxb....directional drilling over 1000kms?

[thegoodshepherd]

^^^^That type of drilling is too expensive to ever be attempted in Somalia. The oil in Somalia is classified as "tight oil". Meaning that it is barley profitable to exploit as-is, if you add in directional drilling; the costs would soon eat into your margin of profit, rendering the whole exercise meaningless.

[burcaawi14]

^What report did you read that in? They can't tell the exact type of oil until they drill the well. Also the oil varies depending on geological terrain. Saying all of "somalia" has the same type of Hydro carbon sounds far fetched.

OD- yeah I exaggerated..but if the reservoir is worth it there are many way's to extract oil in tough situations. They use directional drilling for reserves under mountains, lakes, cities etc..

[burcaawi14]

I heard a rumour that oil was found in Puntland but the company capped the well since production wasn't feasible yet? Any truth in that

[SayyidUmar]

the establishment of the oil special protection unit is a against the Somaliland law, its against international law, according to the UN who criticized and protested against it,

Silanyo is not a permanent president, he is just the current president he can get changed tomorrow.
The Somaliland law only allows for three armed groups to have a monopoly on violence thats the 1.police, 2.military, and 3.asluubta (prison)

this new law is unconstitutional and unlawful according to Somaliland laws and sharci.
the govts has not put it to parliament for approval or consulted the Guurti (house of elders) or opposition parties,
nor has the govt consulted the 'Guudiga nabadgalyada' of each degans,
nor has the govt consulted 'regional and local govt' of these degans that these OPU are being drafted in,
nor has the govt consulted the heads of these degans, elders, clan leaders, and people of the degan.
nor has the govt. consulted or gave a referendum to the citizen of the changed of constitutional law,

how are citizen suppose to act when they see 500 solider from different regions and accents being placed on their farms and pastoral land looking
after a handful of europeans? armed groups is aggressive behavior by this current govt.

another unthoughtful plan to appease the company that have paid millions for the rights to drill towards wasaarada macdanta iyo tamarta
and the minster who stole $2.4 million for the Odweyne contract given to Sterling oil company UK.

we need thoughtful polices, we deserve better

[Khalid Ali]

Its going to put the the new law and it will be discussed by parliament and trust me it will be adopted by guurti and parliament both the president just drafted the bill for it and it will be passed.

Sayid Cumar why are reer miye people opposed to oil drilling and the exploration of SL resources. i dont understand what do they want really i believe in seminar these uneducated reer miyes need to be educated and tough that a government makes decision for the land. The reer miye have the right to vote right to protest but not the right to create instability in the country

[SayyidUmar]

the unlawful OPU (4th armed group) in sl has already been passed as law .

Wither the parliament or guurti passes it through bribes or not its unconstitutional and unlawful against Somaliland law (sharci).
The citizen of somalian are opposed to corruption of their natural resources, wither peaceful or by the barrel of a gun as in the case of the OPU (oil protection units).

we are tired of another corrupt african dictator, who exploits his people and steals the natural resources of the people and squander it on european mansions.
historically it has been proven that the best vote against a corrupt african leader is by a bullet. silanyo is going down the route of afweyne.

Oil can only be exploited when their is a responsible and inclusive future government. Not this govt.

We're in shadowy water.

Hold your horses dictatorship the Current SL government was voted on by the majority of the SL citizens , this government has been voted on the current leaders have been democratically elected by the majority of the SL citizens. And they are the recognized government until elections next year. If they create another unit for practical reasons to protect oil economic assets in the country than so be it. There is nothing unconstitutional about it the parliament will endorse newly drafted law and we are good to go. If oil is found in Somaliland we can all eat thats the goals we are trying to achieve. Not reer miye leh laga mana soo qeyb galin this than and crying over god know what.

Yes Silanyo govt. was democratically elected in the beginning, but so was most African dictators.
dictator usually show there true intentions at the end of their tenure.

should we analysis what constitutes a dictator or not? this is the actions of silanyo govt so far.

1.unlawful and unconstitutional extensions of presidential term is whole marks of a dictator
2.repressive actions and imprisonment against freedom of speech and freedom of press is whole mark of dictator
3.creating arm group (OPU) signs of dictator
4.shoot to kill on-sight of innocent protester in Hargeisa, Berbera, and Gabiley by RRU signs of dictator
5.widespread corruption, bribery, imprisonment, clamism. sign of dictator
6. consolidation of wealth, power, land by the immediate family, friends, business associates and clan signs of dictator.
7.....ect

should i carry on?

[burcaawi14]

^ mate you're losing the plot. A dictator is not voted in and doesn't have a term or even any mucaarid. In Sland it's impossible to be a dictator, people would revolt over night. If you want to argue those points you mentioned the most you can see is that kulmiye is a corrupt party. & for me, that requires a certain amount of evidence. Alas, that's not the point of the thread

[theyuusuf143]

Lool i have never seen silaanyo aka axmed gudi taking his own constitutional decisions let alone dictating, he is defenitely the most liberal head of state we ever had, in fact his party kulmiye is a member of the world liberal democratic parties !.

both Egal and rayaale were semi dicators, especially rayaale abused the power by extending his term, and he used to take his own decisions without necesarilly consulting any body.

Silaanyo may love the seat but he is far from dictator. Generally he is just symbol of unity but the true leader of the his government is Hersi gaab.
