Burn Notice Posted May 17, 2012 kingofkings;830819 wrote: With virtually the entire east coast of Africa is found to contain hydrocarbon deposits, the tiny Puntland, which is a nation and yet not a nation, is no exception. Its President Abdirahman Mohamed Mohamud Farolez on Wednesday held talks in New Delhi on the recent find in Puntland of large quantity of oil. He invited Indian companies to participate in the exploration and sought New Delhi's cooperation for cha rting out exploration blocks and training Somalis in the petroleum sector. The Puntland region is unique — it seeks unity of the Somali people and adheres to a federal system of government unlike the secessionist region of Somaliland to its west. Puntland is not trying to obtain international recognition as a separate nation. The visit was not due to normal diplomatic exertions. During Minister of State for External Affairs E. Ahamed's participation in the international conference on Somalia in London in February, he met the Transitional Federal Government leadership, Presidents of Puntland and Gulmudug and representatives of other groups. During the meeting, Mr. Farolez expressed his desire to visit India. An invitation was duly extended. Mr. Farolez's official engagements included calls on Mr. Ahamed and Minister of State for Petroleum and Natural Gas R.P.N. Singh, during which he was told that India would favourably consider the proposal for gas exploration and training. With Mr. Ahamed, the President also sought Indian assistance to train his people in the fisheries sector, education, training, small and medium-scale enterprises and issues related to piracy. Facing the twin scourges of piracy and terrorism, Puntland has been able to eradicate piracy activities from key coastal towns, including the former piracy hub of Eyl. The government has deployed anti-piracy forces (the Puntland Maritime Police Force) at Eyl and plans to send the force to other coastal towns. In 2010, Puntland Parliament passed Somalia's first-ever anti-piracy law. Speaking at a public engagement on Tuesday, Mr. Farolez said the Indian assistance was vital to ensure alternative likelihood for coastal communities affected by piracy and illegal fishing and reviving fishing activity that had been disrupted. “ We believe assistance and working partnership between Puntland institutions and the international community, particularly the Indian Ocean region, will be an efficient option to finally defeat piracy.” don't you just love how they have labelled NW Somalia lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

General Duke Posted May 17, 2012 Somalia’s Puntland spurs India oil hope May 17, 2012 By PARUL CHANDRA Correspondent New An energy-hungry India has yet another region now on its radar from where it can hope to import a valuable resource, oil. Not many here would be familiar with the Puntland region of Somalia, a country located on the horn of Africa whose name has become synonymous with piracy. But Puntland has recently discovered abundant reserves of oil. Puntland President Abdir-rahman Mohamed Moha-mud Farole, who is currently on a visit to India, has invited Indian oil companies to participate in oil exploration in Puntland. Mr Farole met Union minister of state for petroleum and natural gas, R.P.N Singh here on Wednesday and shared with him details of the recent oil find in Puntland, said official sources. But what must be heartening for the Indian establishment is the invite Mr Farole has extended to Indian oil companies to come to the region and carry out further exploration. He also “sought India’s cooperation for the further c*****ng out of exploration blocks and training of Somalis in the petroleum sector,” said sources. Puntland is a region in north-eastern Somalia, bordering Somaliland in the west. In 1998, Puntland’s leaders declared it an autonomous state. Yet, the Puntland region is for the unity of the Somali people unlike Somaliland which advocates secession. Importantly, Puntland is not seeking recognition as a separate country from the world. Apart from oil, piracy is yet another issue that figured in the talks between the two sides. In his meeting with minister of state for external affairs E. Ahamed, the Puntland President said international support is required to explore alternative livelihoods for coastal communities affected by piracy and illegal fishing. Puntland, he said, has deployed the Puntland maritime police force in Eyl, a former piracy hub. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
