Watch out Somaliland

[SomaliPhilosopher]

Al-Jazeera was playing in the background and I heard the words uttered in a suspicious manner "no, I am interested in Somaliland." At that point I put what I was doing on pause and ended up rewinding the program.

 

This was an episode of Witness, and it was an exclusive on Phil Heilberg, a man who has been described as a 'Capitalist of Chaos' by Rolling Stones,, the same man who caught my attention with his dubious comment.

 

The program starts with Phil Heilberg describing himself as a "sovereign changing country" investor, a person who invests in countries in which borders will change i.e. Sudan. The idea is that when 'states break up' there is a massive transfer of wealth. And the key is to take advantage of this break up and capturing that transfer of wealth. For example, prior to the Sudan break up, Khartoum controlled all of the oil. Though when South Sudan gained sovereignty, oil has fell under their control, and now need businesses to operate this new found wealth.

 

When discussing Somaliland, Heilberg states "Somalia was a union, but that is going to break apart." To our blind secessionist, this may appear as good news, as their hopes are validated by a white man. Though as the man has stated explicitly in the program "I am not an NGO, I am here to make money."

so now all tribe dreamers should wake up and smell the coffee!!..........the breakup of african nation is caused by capitalists so they can make more money. I always understood this, but could never figure out why brethrens never belief this!!

 

I would definitely take him to prison if i was an african leader so that he should pay the blood money he had stolen from the motherland.

Commenting on overtures from New York-based financier and equity venture company Jarch Capital, run by Philippe Heilberg — the company specialising in energy deals with nonsovereigns, which won sweeping exploration and production rights to the entirety of nearby South Sudan — Dualeh says they are still knocking on the door.

 

“Heilberg tried to do a deal but it didn’t go well. He was offered a huge slice but wanted the whole country, so we just parted ways without agreement.”

 

At the other end of the spectrum, Dualeh says “a lot of oddball ‘Joe Blow’ companies pass through Hargeisa, but I don’t pay them any attention — we’re looking for serious technical and financial competence to get real exploration restarted”

I dont mind him making money as long as Somaliland gets its freedom on paper reconnection , dont we all like to make money of others. What is worse is they to make money of you while still being part of Somalia.

Let's not bring Allah to this political conversation sxb .... We're just talking about formalities not what God can do or will not do, we all know that.

 

Just for your information, God can sometimes send you some Gaal ..... just in case you didn't know
