He even mentioned the security sweep in Galgala as pretext for stop the deal. The secessionist big wig for all his talk does not undertsand that

this is about money, and a great deal of money.

So, finally you show your true colors after all this propaganda about terrorism. Do you know that some in Somaliland even believed all those lies about terrorism in the mountains.

^Your own enclave is searching houses in Burco for militias related to Atam. So all this is done for Puntland to extract mineral resources from Atam's hiding place?

 

We always knew the secessionists had a soft spot for us but even we didn't expect them that they would go to that length and out of their ways to please us.

 

Good for you for doing partly our job and assisting us in the fight against Atam.

[Land_Soldier]

Sxb, nobody is assisting your fight for oil. Burco Police are working hard to keep the peace in their city.

 

In doesnt matter how many contracts Geedi, Abdullahi Yussuf, Nuur Cade and the xalwo eating fat boy sign, no company will drill for oil in a region where clans are fighting for other clans oil.

[General Duke]

^^^Thats what you think, the Oil deal is clear as day, its coming soon regardless of what you assume. The bottom line is the $$$$$$, there is money here and thats the main attraction.

 

Everything else is stuff and nonsense.

[Land_Soldier]

You have been saying this for years, but still havent seen any oil.

 

I remember when Cade was signing contracts with fake companies of white men and his cousin and wearing his Tuute.

 

And you were yelling, here comes the white men with $$. Duke, were is $$ after all this years?

 

I see only desperation that you are chasing poor villages in the middle of Ramadan, and that all for $$.

[General Duke]

^^^Years? Did you think this was water well project?

Give it a break adeer, I am not saying this two companies from Canada & Australia are saying this, the state of Puntland is saying this. I only report the news.

The amount of work done thus far, the seismic tests, the research is more than any other done in the whole of Somalia these past 20 years.

 

Again, Ufain and Conoco are the locations to be drilled, you seem to be mixing things up as usual

[Land_Soldier]

To my knowledge and Garoweonline's article is proof, all these fake contracts Puntland signed only led to a WAR of the Clan's and nothing has been done in terms of exploration after many diffrent deadly clashes.

 

 

Somalia: Oil Exploration Triggers Deadly Clan Battle in Puntland

 

A bloody clan battle in Somalia's self-governing State of Puntland last Monday was triggered by aspirations to find oil, Radio Garowe reports.

 

At least five militiamen were killed and 15 others were wounded in the hours-long battle in Ufayn district, located 90km east of the port city of Bossaso in Bari region.

 

Puntland security forces tightened checkpoints in and out of Bossaso, as the government dispatched Security Minister Abdullahi Said Samatar and Interior Minister Gen. Abdullahi Ahmed "Ilkajir" to Ufayn to help diffuse the situation.

 

Traditional elders accompanied the government ministers and troops in efforts to make peace among the two feuding sub-clans, both of which belong to the ********* clan (*****).

 

The violence has subsided and emerging reports indicate that peace talks among clan militias are going well.

 

The fighting was deeply rooted in a months-long disagreement over the ownership of a piece of parched land, inside sources said.

 

The disagreement worsened when one sub-clan that does not traditionally inhabit the area mobilized militias into Ufayn, building a waterhole and a small mosque, the sources added.

 

The incoming sub-clan was ordered to leave the area by the Puntland government and other local clans to avoid bloodshed, but both feuding clans poured loyal militiamen into the area in a build-up to war.

 

Local elders who spoke with Radio Garowe admitted that the two sub-clans have never fought each other before.

 

The remote district of Ufayn entered Puntland media reports in 2008, after Canada-based Africa Oil Corp. contracted an agency named IMC to conduct oil exploration activities in that area.

 

Africa Oil has a controversial exploration contract in Puntland, after signing a joint-venture deal with Australian mining firm Range Resources, Ltd., in January 2007.

 

Dr. Abdirahman Farole, Puntland's current ruler, became opposition leader in 2005 after rejecting former Puntland President Adde Muse's unilateral deal with Consort Private, Ltd., a small virtually unknown front company based in Maldives.

 

The Consort Private deal, which led to Range Resources and Africa Oil, has been the source of international media scrutiny and led to deadly clashes in Sanaag region in April 2006 between Puntland security forces and ********** clan militias.

 

President Farole has said that the Puntland-Consort Private deal is "under review" to ensure the maximum benefit for the people of Puntland and of all Somalia.

Africa Oil has a

controversial

exploration contract in Puntland, after signing a joint-venture deal with Australian mining firm Range Resources, Ltd., in January 2007.

Seems Faroole and Son(owner of Garoweonline)

re-viewed the contracts and changed their minds.

[General Duke]

^^^Thats what happened adeer, they saw the light.

Thus whats your point?

[Land_Soldier]

How many people got killed in the clan war's?

 

This article mentions atleast 5 dead and 15 injured in couple of hours. And it mentions a number of other clans fighting all because of this oil.

[General Duke]

^^^Thats the past and so is Attam adeer, in all of Puntland history we have had less deaths than Somalialnd civil war and Hiiraale's gassing of Kismayu period.

 

There are more deaths in North Minneapolis than all of Puntland..

You would be a good Spin Doctor.

 

Faroole should hire you. You are willing to lie, turn facts to your benefit, mislead, say anything as long as you can manipulate people. And that all, for what?

 

Why Duke? Why do you want to convince us? And of what?

[General Duke]

^^^LOL. I like to look at it as informing you about the state, about progress and development, its you who seem angry and maybe this helps.

 

Keep venting lad.
