What a beautiful picture of progress and development for Puntland and Somalia.

 

Connoco was very close to reaching oil in Nugal in 1990 when the Somali government collapsed. It was Ade Muse who was able to revive the oil exploration project in Puntland and Faroole is continuing this monemental work. Once the oil is extracted our people, insha allah, will starve no more.

I hope it wont have the same negative effect that oil/mineral exploration had on Congo, Angola, Sudan, etc in the begin years.

 

Any ideas on how to prevent a resource curse?

[General Duke]

Why not have the same success as nations closer such as Kuwait, UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman & Saudi Arabia who's societies and government were not that strong and who share religious and cultural values as the Somali's?

All those countries are monarchies ruled by despote leaders who can impose their rule.

 

So explain how you will prevent that those rescources become a curse.
