[Marksman]

They have tuna fish in the sea/ocean near them?

[Alpha Blondy]

i went to Las Khorey once and it's the most beautiful little town in the world. the tuna fish was freely swimming.

 

 

 

Berbera. you can't see clearly on the pic but the tuna fish was everywhere and in all sorts of colours.

[Alpha Blondy]

this is one of the FAQ on the pontus marine website.......

 

How is the company pay ZAKAD and who is paying?

 

The company will be paying ZAKAD at the end of each year in accordance with Islamic law. Since the company will be actively engaged in community affairs, much of ZAKAD will be directed to charitable projects in the Saanag region.

 

ZAKAD in Sanaag?

[Wiil Cusub]

To come back fishing co. I want invest lakiin waxaan ka baqayaa in reer Berbara naga camuudeeyaan. Give me some local information. Can they succeed to solve tribal problems mise sidii Dhiigshiil bay baxar gali.

[Haatu]

Wiil, I thought you were a Monkey so why are you worrying for your investment? :confused:

 

Alpha, I can't see a single fish in those pictures. Cusbada (milixda if you like bloody arab wannabes) inaga yaree inaar. Show saad qolkaada (maqsinkaada) ugu jirtay baad isku yara buuqday?

[Somalia]

^^ He's right, Las Qoray is one of the few places in Somalia with an abundance of fish. No part of what is purported to be Somaliland has fish stocks anywhere near this, it is the only fishing ground viable for a commercial fishing industry hence why this is being done in Sanaag.

[Alpha Blondy]

^ i see you'll stop at nothing to distort the reality?

 

have you ever been to Las Khorey? how can you possibly know of it's fish stocks? how do you know there's no fish stocks elsewhere?
