It is good that the oil project is restarted due Farool's wafelling. The signing is just saving face for Farool who opposed the oil agreement when he was in the opposition but now has to accept it because there is no other alternative.

Saliid laga daadiyey maraakiibtii la haystay in la helo mooye meeshaa in oil laga heli ilama aha!

Indeed I agree with you there, he wasted valuable time.

 

A&T we will keep your comments here for another day. Envy is a bad thing my dear lad.

Aw Tusbaxle there is no guarantee that oil will be found but the fact that oil wells will be drilled in Puntland is a major milestone. Remember in the Siad Barre regime, Conocco, an American oil company was drilling for oil near Groowe. The prospects are real good and we hope for the best for the poor people of Somalia.

This is a step to the right direction. Hopefully this oil will be found.
