Oil companies fighting over Galmudug

Central Somalia isn't totally useless after all.

Shell clings firmly to its concession

Shell`s permit in Somalia has lain idle for decades because of “force majeure” but the company clearly prizes the acreage.

Executives of the Anglo-Dutch firm Shell Exploration & Production aren`t about to let go of a concession covering five blocks that the group acquired in Somalia in November, 1988 but which has remained idle under force majeure ever since.

On Feb. 25, Tjalling Wiersma and Ayca Arisoy, who serve respectively as the legal and financial chiefs of Shell
EP Somalia BV sent a warning letter to the American firm Liberty Petroleum Corporation (LPC). They claimed Liberty had
acquired an oil prospecting license from the regional government of Galmudug which is headed out of the capital, Galkayo,
by a former war lord, Abdi Hassan Awale Qeybdiid.

In the letter, a copy of which has been obtained by the Indian Ocean Newsletter, Shell warned the American company that its
“offshore block covers a part of blocks held by Shell” and on which Shell claims exclusive rights. The letter specified that all
activity in the area “would constitute a clear violation of Shell`s exclusive rights.”

Based in Phoenix, Arizona, Liberty Petroleum Corporation was founded in 1997 by Trent and Lane Franks. The latter took over the company when his brother
Trent won a seat in the House of Representatives on a Conservative Party ticket.

In addition to Lane Franks, LPC`s directors are Abdul Al Tawash, Saud Al Tawash, Travis Franks and Jonas Robertson.

Another firm is also seeking oil licenses from the Galmudug government, namely Britain`s LGE Monsoon whose representative travelled to Mogadishu at the
end of 2012.

Central Somalia has proven uranium reserves.

Yh I am aware of the Uranium in central areas especially Ceel Buur and Dhusamareeb districts. With potential oil in offshore Hobyo district, the
central folks can benefit from it in the future.

Probably not bro. Mismanagement and corruption will see to it that the people don't benefit from the country's natural resources.

Saciid, Hobyo is not part of Galmudug. Hobyo is part of Ximiin iyo Xeeb. Salebaan can then say "unuka leh" and Cayr can continue expanding in Lower Shabelle where they rape and kill the local folks. HG have become a joke since they killed General Aidiid.

Where in this thread has Saciid mentioned qabil let alone Habar Gidir? Shaqo la'aan aa ku heyso odeyaho, shaqo yeelo.

Xiis1928 Let's not instigate between siblings. I am sure they are happy to share.

SOMALIA can benefit from it in the future, insha'Allah.

The people of the land come first. Somalia claims to be a federal country, in that respect in the event of an oil discovery in this area it will be
allocated to the central areas firstmost then secondly other areas of Somalia.

I'm not the one who divided Habar Gidir. I was just informing Saciid that Hobyo is not part of Galmudug.

Too bad the same can't be said for Jeberti girls. They are way too tribalist.

I am sick and tired of the other Idoor's in SNET giving Hawiye a pass for their actions over the last 22 years. I hold them accountable for their mediocrity.
