It's a joke. If this is true is this how they want to annex yet another junk of Somalia? With Uganda now colonizing Somalis too? They can not contain an ideology this will be better for the Somalis actually. The ICU will have a respite and will rebuild its armed forces and recruits from all over Somalia and strengthen their position. It’s a loose-loose situation for any foreign intervention in Somalia. The only thing they can hope for is that they slow down the ICU and all other nationalist movements that are forming now. Somalia has woken up and she is pissed off!

That’s why some people are so forceful with decentralizing Somalia. It is so that they can have a greater say in their local fiefdoms and so that they can steal with impunity and use us against each other. It's an old game. These so called 'elites' have made their peace long time ago and they have decided to plunder Somalia together. It is us ee nagu maaweeliyaan qabiil X is coming or qabiil Y is coming. None of these crooks have our interest at heart. Cambaro if we don't do something no one will ever do it. Cid kale waxba lagama sugayo, waa anaga kaliya. We should hold these people accountable and if they have transgressed on the Somali people, it is us that should bring them to justice. We have let them get away with it long enough.

How about we start an organization that investigates and focuses on how to high light these matters? SOL Friends of Somalia? Anyone willing to rise above the cyper persona?

NAIROBI, 13 October (IRIN) - In an effort to create employment and alleviate poverty in Somalia's capital, Mogadishu, the United Nations labour agency is running a project to clean up the streets and provide an income to hundreds of poor people in the war-scarred city. The project in Mogadishu, which employs about 2,000 people earning US $2 a day, involves rubbish collection from the city, which has had no municipal administration since the collapse of the national government in 1991. The project is funded by the European Commission and Norway's foreign ministry. A local NGO known as SAACID is involved in the project as a partner of the International Labour Organization (ILO). "We get involved in what we consider technically simple projects. We are digging out approximately 3,000 tonnes of garbage a day from Mogadishu," said Joseph Connolly, the chief technical adviser of the ILO's Employment for Peace Initiative in Mogadishu, south and central Somalia. An estimated 70 percent of the workers are poor women and about 30 percent are internally displaced people who live in squalid makeshift shelters in the city. Employment gave a sense of dignity to the poor, previously unemployed people. "It's the whole dignity of being employed and earning a wage. This is critical for peace," said Connolly. "We see this sort of work with the districts as very much a peace process because you are doing something all together and the people are coming together also as districts during progress meetings. In several places the districts are joining together to clear garbage between their areas," said Connolly. A similar project has been started in the south-central city of Baidoa and there were plans to initiate such employment-intensive projects in surrounding areas. "If peace continues in Mogadishu and we are allowed to continue, then we can look at a sustainable waste-management system," Connolly added. jn/mw

Well the evidence is here. These people are wrippig us all off. Printing money how they like while hard working Somalis have to work for every penny these guys are printing 500 billion. The current state of affairs is sad. A/Y hasn't doneteh job he was elected for but he has been bussy with STEALING the Somali peoples money. Come on people this is beyond qabiil. This affects all Somalis. We didnt say anything when they killed Somalis and made millions refugees. We didnt say anything when they sold the Somali industry for scrap metal. We didnt say anything when they made shady deals with Banana companies and turned Somalis into Slaves. We didn't say anything when they gave away fake fishing licences so that the Somali seas could be plundered. We didn't say anything when they signed deals that made Somalia dumping ground for Chemical and Nuclear waste. We didnt say anything when they burned down trees for charcoal. We didnt say anything when they sold our wildlife. We are not saying anything now when they are stealing our moneyby prnting billions of banknotes. We are not saying anything now that they are making deals with shady companies about the Somali oil, Gas & mineral wealth. Will we ever say anything?

This Canmex Minerals is a minning company has nothing to do with Oil; I will speak to a canadian friend of mine of is securities lawyer and perhaps a file a request about info on this. This is outrage. This is beyond outrage, I do not appreciate being ripped of like this. We are not Papua New Gunia or Angola or Congo. This is insult to the whole Somali Nation. Keep us updated man.

So the Yemani basin contains excess of 9 billion barrels of oil? Current capacity is 400.000 barels a day.And Somalia is part of that basin? and these folks are selling it for what peanuts? 12 million dollars? Are they on crack? If this SOMALI treasure is well managed we can rebuild our country with it. This is not qabiil X or qabiil Y's or some crooked politicians land its for the whole Somali nation and it should be defended by all Somalis. Come onnnn 9 billion barrels with the oil price of 60/70 dollars a barrel and rising.

Australian resources explorer Range Resources has signed a $67.50 million deal with Canadian-based Canmex Minerals to help it look for oil in Somalia. Canmex will be the operator of the exploration, which is located in the northeastern state of Puntland, and has to complete a minimum of four exploration wells to secure an 80 per cent stake in the project. A production sharing agreement is expected to be finalised between Range, Canmex and the Puntland government by the end of next month. Melbourne-based Range is exploring for oil, gas, nickel and uranium in Western Australia, Peru and Puntland. Shares in Range gained 0.3 of a cent to 3.2 cents by 1329 AEST. The full text of a company announcement is pasted below MAJOR MOU SIGNED TO FARM US$50M INTO PUNTLAND The Board of Range Resources Limited is pleased to announced that it has signed a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding with a subsidiary of Canmex Minerals Corporation in relation to an 80% farm in right in the Nogal Basin and Darin Basin Blocks. The Yemeni basins, after 20 years of exploration and development drilling, are known to contain in excess of nine billion barrels of oil equivalent reserves with current production of over 400,000 barrels of oil per day. Most production has been from Lower Cretaceous Qishn sandstone reservoirs sourced by Upper Jurassic Madbi Shales. In Yemen, between 1994 and 2006, there was an average discovery size of 96 MMBOE recoverable reserves with a discovery success rate of 23%. In order to achieve its strategic vision of finding and delineating the vast oil potential of Puntland, the Company has sought the assistance of a Joint Venture partner with the technical and financial capability to undertake this task. Range believes that Canmex meets these criteria, and, combined with its strong understanding of Northern Somalia and Yemen, will be successful explorers and operators. CANMEX Canmex is a subsidiary of Canmex Minerals Corporation, a Vancouver based company listed on the Toronoto Stock Exchange. The Board and management of Canmex have been involved in exploration, development and production operations in a number of the major oil and gas provinces of the world including the Middle East, Papua New Guinea, Malaysia, Vietnam, United Kingdom, Libya, Sudan, Albania, Somalia and Russia. Canmex have demonstrated to the Board that they have the financial capability and a strong technical team to undertake the exploration and operator functions. Heading up Canmex's exploration effort in Puntland will be Rick Schmitt. Rick is a Petroleum Geologist with 29 years of diverse international experience in most of the world's major petroleum provinces. His expertise includes exploration, exploitation, operations and new ventures as well as strategic planning and negotiations. Of particular relevance, Rick has worked extensively in the Horn of Africa and Yemen. Prior to joining Canmex he lived in Yemen for five years as President and General Manager of a major international oil company's Yemen operations. He had previously held senior positions with Nexen, notably as Vice President and GeneralManager of Australia/Indonesia and General Manager of International Exploration and Production. Rick is a UK graduate in Geological Sciences and is a Member of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists and the Canadian Society of ExplorationGeophysicists. His knowledge and experience of the Yemen oilfields will be invaluable in exploring the Puntland basins which are seen as analogous to the Yemen Basins. The Company looks forward to working with him and his group towards creating exploration and drilling success in Puntland. Key Terms of the MOU The key terms of the MOU with Canmex are as follows: a) Main conditions precedent of all necessary regulatory approvals (see Puntland Government and TFG sign off referred to below), final due diligence and formal documentation (a production sharing agreement between the Puntland Government, Range and Canmex is expected to be finalised in the next 4 weeks). Targeted completion date is 15 November with a drop dead date of 31 December 2006; b) Canmex will be the Operator of the on shore oil and gas exploration effort with an obligation to spend US$50m to earn an 80% interest in the two main basin areas in Puntland (the Nogal and Darin Basins). The US$50m includes a minimum of 4 exploration wells to be completed (2 in each basin), a sign on bonus to be confirmed upon finalization. There is a further US$3.5m payment upon commercial production. Range free carried until exploration moneys spent; c) Of the Canmex 80% farm in right, 20% (in one or both basins) is available to farm out to third parties on terms to be agreed between Range and Canmex. Any sign on bonuses with third parties will be split 60% Range , 40% Canmex. PUNTLAND AND TFG APPROVALS Both the Puntland Government and the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia have provided Range and Canmex with their absolute support of the MOU, which is reinforced in official letters sent to both Companies; "The Puntland Government is extremely encouraged by the continued exploration and development that Range is bringing to our state and the proposed farm in with Canmex is obviously another significant step forward. With over US$45m committed over the next few years, the Government believes that Range and Canmex have put together a partnership that will unlock the considerable hydrocarbon potential of Puntland and deliver the returns to all key stakeholders working together to bring Puntland back on to the African stage.... the Puntland Government has reviewed the proposed commercial terms of the farm in joint venture with Canmex Minerals Corporation and in principle supports and approves all key aspects of the transaction." Mohamud Hersi (CADE MUUSE) - President of Puntland State of Somalia. "The Transitional Federal Government of Somalia in principle supports and fully endorses the activites of Range Resources Limited and Canmex Minerals Corporation. Further, the TFG acknowledges and agrees with the key terms of Range's Contract of Works and the Range/Canmex PSA agreement will be recognized and upheld within any national framework of mining petroleum legislation enacted as part of the Somali Unification Process which the TFG is involved in." Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed - President of the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia. The Company looks forward to finalising the Canmex Partnership and unlocking the significant hydrocarbon potential of Puntland.

^^ Iska daaya Mr. Red Sea wuu xanaaq dhow yahay, yuunan dhooxada iduun ku jeedhan. 900.000 waa marka Xabashida iyo adhi carbeedka lagu daro. Soomaalidu waa ugu badnaan 200.000 meelahaas.

^^Is this deal legal? Can we fight it in court?

Hhahahahaha ofcourse he would be, he is a warlord remember. ALL WARLORDS!! even their lieutenants, the war profiteers, the ones that throw people of boats, the ones that sold Somali industry, the ones that gave away fake fishing licences, the ones that cut down trees for xaabo, the ones that buried chemical waste in Somalia or dumped it in its sea. The ones that spied for foreign powers, the ones that worked for foreign powers, the ones that signed deals with foreign companies long long list.

Thats why you should choose a side the side you think will unite the nation and will do the least evil. So far that side is the ICU they should be helped to gain power and unite the nation. They are the only alternative for the Somali people. Once we have the country under one power we can think of ways of changing the ICU from within. No more bloodshed.

^^Aren't you the one still living in denial about the torture of Sheikh Max'med Sheikh Ismaciil? Who says that this report is also not true? Last time I remmeber you was living in denial about Sheikh Max'med Sheikh ismaciil torture It is a natural reflex I know. You also told us it snowed in Hargeysa I am sorry but your word's weight has been severely diminished.
