Industry sources say the deposits may exceed a quarter of the world's known reserves of 800,000 tons - making the find in Somalia the largest yet discovered. Moreover, they said, the uranium lies close to the surface and can permit strip-mining techniques which is far less costly than deep-mining.

In addition to uranium, international geologists have also discovered Yttrium, a rare and costly mineral which experts say can sell for six times as much as uranium per pound.

the amount of resources somalia has, can turn somalia into the richest country in the world. each and every single somali family could be given an allowance of up to $10,000 every month if somalia gets it's shit together

[Bermooda]

That large Uranium + other huge natural resources and its strategic area is one of the main reason why Somalia is the most fcuked up place.

[Cherine]

^It is the world's most fucked up place because of Somalis.

[Bermooda]

That is what they like you to believe. Somalis more precisely the few so called leaders who in reality are nothing more than puppets are part of the problem but if you think that's the major obstacle then i don't know what to say to you.

I'm aware of foreign governments isku dirdir and them taking advantage of our fractious nature. Lakin waxaas odhan Somalida u sabab ah.

[original dervish]

Somalia is a failed state.....we should focus on restoring sovereignty before pursuing any, "get rich quick scheme".
ps there is nothing wrong with the people......it's the "elites" stupid.

[GIJaamac]

Nothing new here. Biggest uranium deposits are in Galgaduud/Southern Mudug, Bay and outskirts of Mogadishu.

yes, i agree. that's why i would introduce 3 year mandatory service in the military/public service for all 21 and above.

[Vivacious]

HH, before the civil war, I think every Somali citizen was entitled to serve a mandatory 2 years services in the armed forces or something as a duty to serve the country.

[HusseinHassan]

yeah, i know that. lol i wouldn't mind serving 50 years under the same roof with you.
