    "There is a place on the Somali seaside we consider may have oil reserves. We will start seismic work, we want to do deep sea drilling in 2025," Energy and Natural Resources Minister Alparslan Bayraktar said in an interview on private broadcaster NTV.

    "Oil and natural gas exploration offshore from Somalia, and it looks more like oil for now, will start very soon in the areas we have identified. We will maybe send our seismic (exploration) vessel there in the first phase," he said separately in a panel, without elaborating.

    The minister on Friday evaluated Türkiye's energy agenda including oil production in the Gabar field in Türkiye's southeastern Şırnak province, which the officials announced has exceeded 40,000 barrels in daily production recently.

    "Turkish Petroleum was producing 33,000 barrels of oil at the beginning of 2016. Today, only Gabar has exceeded 40,000 barrels of daily production. Our goal is to elevate Gabar's daily production to 100,000 barrels by the end of the year. Intensive work continues in this regard," Bayraktar said.

    "We have an ongoing case with Iraq. Türkiye is not responsible for the difficulties experienced here. There is a problem here due to the disagreement between the administration in northern Iraq and the central government," the minister said, referring to KRG, a semi-autonomous entity controlling Iraq's north.

    Examples:

    • President @HassanSMohamud billed the National Treasury $450,000 for a 4 day trip to New York.
    • PM  @HamzaAbdiBarre billed the National Treasury $150,000 for a half an hour trip to Adan Yabaal for travel and lodging expenses.

    MMA: Be a good sport, and do the calculations assuming HSM spends $112,500 a day on each trip abroad.

    Man City was unlucky in not turning chances into goals. It was a pain watching B Silva & De Bruyne unable to convert, was not their day. Barring the couple of chances Vinicius Jr & Rodrygo created, Real adopted J Mourinho's parking the bus tactic. The only time Jr managed to escape K Walker, it was a goal, his conversions are unreal, reason he is one of the best.

     

    Arsenal did not even bother. Titi's post match analyses said as much.

    Is this number close to being accurate? If so, that is rather sizeable., and one wonders as to the reasons they were unable to pull a win when their cities were being bombarded.

    Things are going from bad to worse, and with reports of militias fighting inside Adis, it is  getting out of hand.

    Eastern Africa Power Pool "EAPP" is very promising, and as and when Somalia taps into it, it could begin small scale industrialisation starting with basics.

    Eastern Africa Power Pool "EAPP".
    EAPP is a regional institution established in 2005 to coordinate cross-border power trade and grid interconnection among nations of the Eastern Africa region. The EAPP currently has thirteen (13) member countries that signed the Inter-Governmental Memorandum of Understanding (IGMOU) and fourteen utilities that signed the Inter Utility Memorandum of Understanding (IUMOU).

    The primary goal of the EAPP is to establish a regional power market, which will enable member countries to trade electricity with each other, leading to increased access to reliable, affordable, and sustainable electricity. The establishment of the regional power market will also provide opportunities for member countries to develop their energy resources and export excess power to neighboring countries.

    To achieve this goal, the EAPP has developed a number of programs and initiatives. These include the development of interconnectors and transmission lines, the harmonization of regulatory frameworks, the promotion of renewable energy, and the enhancement of institutional and human capacity

    Over the past decade, the EAPP has made significant progress toward achieving its goals. The most notable achievements include the development of interconnectors and transmission lines, which have enabled member countries to exchange electricity with each other. For example, the Ethiopia-Kenya transmission line, which was completed in 2019, has a capacity of 2,000 MW and has enabled Ethiopia to export excess power to Kenya.

    Member States:
    Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, the Republic of Sudan, South Sudan, Burundi, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Egypt, Somalia, Rwanda and Libya.

    On April 12, 2010, by Executive Order 13536, the President declared a national emergency pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706) to deal with the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States constituted by the deterioration of the security situation and the persistence of violence in Somalia; acts of piracy and armed robbery at sea off the coast of Somalia, which have been the subject of United Nations Security Council resolutions; and violations of the arms embargo imposed by the United Nations Security Council.

     

    The situation with respect to Somalia continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States.  For this reason, the national emergency declared on April 12, 2010, and the measures adopted on that date and on July 20, 2012, to deal with that threat, must continue in effect beyond April 12, 2024.  Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13536.

    Bloody African colony, we are now. It is a travesty. Saddest thing I read today: hundreds of kids sired by AMISOM/ATMIS soldiers and their Somali mothers had to be relocated for safety reasons.

    Here is another, a complete Bantuazation of the whole country, yet unemployment amongst the young is the highest:

    Over 8000 Kenyas have secured jobs in Somali Land. They claim they work and live in peaceful and cool environment.

    It is. Wac Reer Garoowe.

    The elites and general public will not stand for it, and no politician has the stomach to do that, even if they wish to tango dance with the idea. As noted before, PL is now the de facto Federal gov't. If any breaking away is to be discussed, it is HSM who is deviating from agreed principles engaging in secession by seeking to create a South Central gov't.

    Let me ask you: when will reer S West take a stand, be counted, and be written into the annuls of history?

    What will happen when the power of the president is in the hands of one man, Reminds me of the late General afweyne. Well there is an option for Puntland a new civil war fighting the Mogadishu establishment a long war i guess Puntland will continue to call Hassan madaxweynihi hore eeh Somalia as they do now, it can only go from worse to worse unless Hassan is stopped Killed or what ever

    It is not the 1st, the 2nd or the 3rd time a rogue leader tried to hijack or dismantle the national platform to serve own short-term interest, and advance ill-advised, clan-centric politics. It is a known malady, and its cure is readily at hand.

    Very soon you will see HSM bellowing and wailing in the streets of Xamar when another leader has been (s)elected, and all his doodles had been reversed with the State back on track.

    This was the most I ever listened to a vacuous politician. My brain now aches in dire need of elan.

    Trouble with ciyaal al Kacaan is you all think the country is Xamar, and Xamar is the country. Why not ride a bus to Baydhaba, travel through Sh Hoose, trot to Kismayo through Baardheere, and tell us what you see. O' you can not, yet here you are parroting the usual blather about the city State akin to a stable full of asphyxiated flora and fauna with Mr Jones no longer able to attend to their resuscitation. In this instance, it is as if you are a "baqal la dhufaanay' attempting a canter behind "dameer asqaysan", then I ask of you: what are those right-thinking souls amongst us to do?

    In the Somali tradition, elders practise 'gar naqsi' on their own prior to presenting their case to the 'xeer beegti' under the tree. HSM lacks, and is void of that, and is a classic munaafaq, who says one thing, and does the opposite. This ahbal wants to sweet-talk the nation into a dictatorship, and we may as well be blindly led by Hinda Culusow and Shihan Xasan Sh.  

    Let us reflect upon his utterings:
    a) The most damaging of all: He went from " 'Ethiopia dhul nagama haysato' replaced with 'Dhul Ethiopia ayaan qaar goosaynaynaa ma aannaan dhihin' ". Let that sink in and ruminate.

    b) Constitution: The audacity of the man from "Loo joojin maa! " to "begging and pleading from the mosque ". He now argues "war yaanan degdegin", a few months ago, he was saying "waqti ma hadhin, immisaa la sugaa". Here is a sample of the Constitutional re-drafting he is engaged in. Do you still think his intentions are honourable?

     

    i) Af iyo dhego aan is maqal: in one sentence, he argues for a shift by rummaging through "redrafting the Constitution" without consensus, inclusivity, and representation, yet in the next sentence, he makes the case as to the reasons THAT only leads to failure. As MMA quite rightly diagnoses, the man suffers from hypomania disorder.

      ii) Best example is where he says let us NOT bypass agreed upon political contract, consensus-based constitution and treaties, yet he is the first to have unilaterally violated the ONLY agreed upon political contract in 50 years.

        iii) Another clear example of munaafaqnimo is where he says "aan wada hadallo", yet rejects negotiations, the open platform afforded him, and with the leadership granted to him.  

     c) He argues "Hub waxaan u sidannaa keliya khawaarijta", yet does not realise sabotaging development projects is far more egregious than firing bullets. FGS has been withholding funds for developments projects, or refusing to sign paperwork for projects in PL incl. the Garacad - Galkacyo - Galdobgob, modernising electric grid, water purification projects just to name a few. If he had the ability to wage a war, he would have done so, but he does not, and the only weapon he could fight with is sabotaging development and progress. He financed stringers to disrupt local district elections. The same would apply to any other FMS just as his predecessor had done to JL, he tried against SL in shutting down international flights, to name a few.

    d) Now, he claims to have implemented federalism in the country. Could someone remind him of the drudgery in laying down the pipelines and the political capital expended in instituting Federalism whilst he was still an unknown Macawisle sporting sandals in suuq Bacaad, and how he was forced to accept JL as a State whilst he was wailing at the alter moving the entire FGS to prevent it from becoming one. Let us also remind him of his sabotaging of the SSC Khatumo movement in becoming a State, and backstabbing it in ridding itself of the SL militias.

    e) Elections: could he hold elections in 24 months?
            - If so, in which districts? Here are the regions and a list of districts aligned with the Fed. gov't.

    f) Al Shabaab: Against wise counsel, where he was advised not to wage a war, but embrace engagement strategy, he chose otherwise; besides the pantomine costumes and empty rhetoric, and with AS's leadership still in Xamar, could he defeat AS? Latest intel indicates AS is [the] most armed, capable force in the country, and is stronger now than it were 2 years ago.
       i) He speaks of AS hiding and the FGS seeking them out, and what he does not understand is AS's manoeuvring is a strategy; question is what is his strategy? Where are the army generals, military tacticians, strategists, planners, and leaders?  He is none of the above, yet wants to assume the role of all.

    g) PL / SL: Northern polities in the N East (pro-federalist) and N West (secessionist leaning towards Confederalist), as imperfect as they are, do lead regional politics, and have shown political maturity, stability, and conviction unlike the green FMSs in the deep South, which are gradually progressing whilst still beholden to the injurious Xamar-centric, centralist agenda. For the FMSs, this is temporary, a marriage of convenience, case in point both JL & SW are adrift, and divergent with the coming 12 months ushering in a new dawn of politicking. Both are poised to break away to full autonomy in coming years, for doing so benefits them directly, and the nation indirectly. The more politically and financially independent FMSs become, the less influence Xamar has over States. The same shall apply to GM & HS.

    Now tell us why Puntland rejects the " Soomaalinimo" and saying they won't recognize the national government. No one has that veto power. This move by Puntland is aiding and abating the saperatists on the international state.Even the international media is talking about Puntland leaving the union.

    The Garacad - Tuurdibi trade route 'ween PL and DDS has been an ongoing project, in the works for years, starting under Gaas, to boost the local economy. A good example, fruits and veggies consumed in PL now come from DDS (reason potato and tomato is cheaper in Galkacyo than in Xamar), and in return reason reer SG are now sea food aficionados, with export to DDS on steady uptick and revenue stream for the locals on either side of fence.

    Do you still think PL is in the wrong? If so, tell us why and how?
