It’s Official – UK to Step In and Help Somalia to Manage Its Oil

[kingofkings]

 

On the top page of the popular English newspaper The Guardian were two articles today covering the topic on oil post-Conference; one titled Somalia Promises West Oil Riches as Diplomats Vow to Defeat Al-Shabaab and the other titled Britain Leads Dash to Explore for Oil in War-Torn Somalia.

 

 

The two articles allude to exactly what many Somalis have stated ever since Puntland began its most ambitious phase of oil exploration this past January at the drilling of the first well, known as Shabeel-1. The UK and the international community, including the Turks, who setup an elaborate and vain philanthropy scheme, all want a share in Somalia’s massive potential resource wealth, principally the oil in Puntland.

 

Many doubted the seriousness of oil exploration in Somalia’s Puntland region, but its spelled out clear as day now, and the world media is quickly picking up on it. Around the time of the conference, Puntland’s Minister of International Cooperation Abdulkadir Hashi said the following.

 

We have spoken to a number of UK officials, some have offered to help us with the future management of oil revenues. They will help us build our capacity to maximize future earnings from the oil industry.

It’s clear that the UK is concerned about Iran cutting off supplies and the threat at the Strait of Hormuz, and that it must hurry to secure supplies in Somalia now that Libya has gone upside down.

 

Results from the Shabeel-1 well in Bari province are due to hit the public in a few weeks, and all parties are lining up to prepare for the outcome.
