Norf ma Hargeisuu joogaa? Waar ninku socod badanaa. :D

Caraafaat is a good guy, laakiin walaalihiis Puntland ayuu ku yara kacsan yahay oo loo baahan yahay inuu soo dhaweeyo. The Harigeisa-Mogadishu alliance uu maleegayo ma aha wax socon doona. :D

Carafaatoow, awoowe from all the information I have, Faroole actually thinks a post at the federal government is a demotion for him. He can always change his mind, but as of today, he is not interested in running for office in Mogadishu. Having said that, I believe Puntland needs a new style of governance. Faroole has laid out the footing for the next generation of leaders to accomplish great things. Despite few Al-shabaab related security setbacks, the man delivered more for the State institutions than all previous leaders combined. He will forever be remembered for his hardwork, tenacity and focus oriented leadership. The few unflattering speeches here and there are immaterial in the grand scheme of things.

lol@culusoow. Xiin ka waraysta ninkaan.

God bless Turkey indeed. A great nation with great people.

Looks like only Duke was missing. :D

lol@refinery. This one made me chuckle.

Nuune, siyaasiyiin waa ragii hore, dugaagna waa kuwa hada jooga. :D

NASSIROOW, Awoowe I am waiting for the black gold to be located first. :D I hope the Dharoor hunt does not produce a duster. I'll be very disappointed even though the Nugaal basin is yet to be explored.

:D

Hashi, in charge of brokering deals for the region's oil reserves, also said Somalia was looking to BP as the partner they wanted to "help us explore and build our oil capacity". He added: "We need those with the necessary technical knowhow, we plan to talk to BP at the right time." An exploration contract with BP would help elevate the search for oil off the Somali coast. BP has huge technical resources in deep sea drilling.

^^This high number probably includes the Indian Ocean estimate as well.

Thanks for the update. Very interesting indeed. The dots are slowly connecting. Abdulkadir Abdi Hashi, minister for international cooperation in Puntland, north-east Somalia – where the first oil is expected to be extracted next month – said: "We have spoken to a number of UK officials, some have offered to help us with the future management of oil revenues. They will help us build our capacity to maximise future earnings from the oil industry." Looks like Puntland is busy under the radar. Where are the Guru and NGONGE?

Al Shabaab says extends reach into Somalia's Puntland An Islamist militia group in Somalia's semi-autonomous Puntland region has merged with the al Shabaab rebel group, said the insurgents on Saturday, a union which threatens to destabilize the relatively secure area targeted by oil explorers.

But I like the idea that the FO are helping SL in "its delusion" by posting older speeches of president Siilaanyo. I know what you are capable waryaa. Your contacts at the FCO did not fail you this time as they quickly processed your request. :D Where is the Guru. Maybe I should send him a note.

To clear any doubts, show us a video of Siilaanyo speaking at the actual conference while everyone is listening. hehe But I still like the old man. I think the Guru is being hard on him lately.

^^ Isn't the guy with the white koofiyad (right corner) the Ahlusunnah leader? Mise waa Shariif kaasi? I should get some glasses.

Siilaanyo is standing on the same row steps as other Somali leaders. Look at their shoes. Am I getting old or is Sheikh Shariif missing from this photo?

I haven't watched the conference, (I am just following the the feeds on this thread), but you make a very valid point
