, dozens of Provinces/Regions and even 7 federal States on

the Arab Peninsula. If they can live in peace, share the oil resources and even cooperate, why can't Somalis do the same?

Are you suggesting, Somalia should be divided into serval independent countries?

the Somali Peninsula is divided in different countries and different political entities and realities just like the Arab Peninsula.

 

Djibouti (independent country), Western Somalia(part of Ethiopia), NFD (part of Kenya), Somalia(recognized as country, but limited government control over its territory), Somaliland(unrecognized as country but with recognized separate government with control of its territory), Puntland(part of Somalia, but functions Autonomous from Somalias goverment), Jubbaland(Admin control Kismayo but not recognized by Somalias government), etc.

i can't believe i actually agree with you for once Carafaat

 

Somalia you can't expect corporate heads to negotiate with the indeginous people can you!!! Heads of state should represent the local community who then borker these deals on THEIR BEHALF.

 

I agree that local support is key but with the targets being so close to SL security would be too expensive to protect the millions of dollars worth of equipment and the specialized work force.
