How can I hate on history? It used to exist, now it doesn't. :confused:

3 of them do not exist any more. I will let you guess which ones.

Lol, he acknowledges crack down on freedom of press and tribal warfare. He should have kept that bit out of the article if he wanted support

LOL@Concern for the "environment". Next you'll be telling us the wind is too strong for an oil rig.

He says 13 but signals a 2 and a 4 with his hands. Yeah I love that bit, he repeats it for "clarity". But the more amazing bit is that he won the seat!

"In the middle of opportunity *UUH*" This was where I watched it, the host couldn't stop laughing.

You can define the central government in whatever way you want. There's nothing shady about this. The only shade is the one the oil rig gives out in the bright sun light. I just want to see the oil and prosper.

Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar;783272 wrote: The argument is still valid and nothing to do with personalities. The theme of the argument is this: Soomaaliya is a war-torn country, with corrupt, marginalized, divided weak leaders. Soomaaliya is no position to sign long-term natural resources agreements with shady companies now. It was the same valid argument raised by that Garoowe Online editorial in 2008. It still stands, nothing to do with Faroole's son, Faroole himself or the author of this article, Bilan. This is what you and the author fundamentally do not understand. The Republic of Somalia is not needed in the equation no more. They didn't even sign the oil exploration deal but signed a deal that Puntland would negotiate its own deals. You want Mogadishu to make the deals but it isn't going to happen. What worries you is not the deal but how Puntland reaps it. When Puntland signs a deal like the Iraqi Kurdistan region, what will Somalia do? Will it "pressure" the oil companies? The money won't even be paid into a central account for distribution, Puntland will get its part and Somalia its.

2:52 I'll never forget.

What an absolute embarrassment. I actually feel sorry for the secessionists. Xaaji Xunjuf, soo gal, where are you?

Miskiin-Macruuf-Aqiyaar;783253 wrote: Of course he is working for it now because his father wato. But the argument did and does remain still valid. This is the main and basic argument: But the Muse (read Faroole now) administration of Puntland has placed much focus – and fuss – on fantastic daydreams of getting rich by exploring for oil and other natural resources in a country torn apart by years of civil war, foreign military occupation and terrorism. It is the same argument raised by the sister, Bilan A. Aaden. It's not valid, it's a straw man fallacy. You are using a statement made by a man who wanted his father to come in power, a father who previously used the oil agreement against General Muse and had to leave the country. Now that his father is in power he won't agree with his previous statements The oil is in a part of Somalia that has not been torn apart by civil war but by poverty. It hasn't been torn apart by military occupation but piracy. The article is nothing less than an attempt to discredit the long work by people in that region.
