^^^lool. Nice try at spining. but brother Pride summed up the whole situation nicely.

POKER, JB & others: Is still to provide Pics of the "official" visit of "of Riyaale to Kuwait.

^^^lool. Those who sulk and get upset and say I wont presnt my case, have lost. Good luck with Riyaale.

^^^Poker lad, you are not that important, go on the website and read before you tell us you cancled the event.

^^^Yes and give their case. Its one think to fool the public in Hargaysa, its another to try and fool the great powers. Come on you know that. You dont snub the US and Hargaysa is no Tehran dear lads.

^^^lool. Did you even read their website? Obviosuly you know how the Americans think, why dont you get the "recognition you crave" instead of sulking like kids.

^^^Yeah right, they clearly dont recognise you as anything other than NW Somalia which is the truth. Thats why like little kids you are complaining.. ahhhhhhhh

^^^lool. Poker adeer NW Somalia can not deal with the main issues at hand, its too isolated geographically, your loss is our again as I have said many times before.

^^^lool. Maryan Mursal is all we can send "your government" at this moment.

^^^Yeah right, when did the secessionist delegation find out they were just part of Somalia, today? You saved yourself the embarrasment, "dear members of congress the Queen is our Mother" would not have washed in Washington.

That was a good read thanks.

lool. They are still part of Somalia like Maryam Mursal is still reer Mudug. Nothing has changed, they just realised they were not as important as the Puntland delegation.

Mad men the lot of them. The picture is of a kid, and where are the witnesses? Where is the court? All we have is some youths surrounded by men with covered faces. This is the medicine to the mad.

^^^This is oil exploration and things take time. I belive they are very interested in the project otheriwse they would not have made it their center point. The time, money and effort they have spent on this project gives me confidance that there is something worthwhile coming. Insha Allah.

Yes.Yes.Yes. Bad alshabab. L0L We are in agreement, what is your problem duke. L0L Progress indeed, now do tell why are they bad all of a suden, what changed?

^^^Spot on, Somalia stakeholders came. Not the admin of Djibouti or NFD or the ****** regions. Nice point brother.

^^^How so? Kulmiye led by the SNM chief is having major issues with Riyaale, as attested by the sources from Somalilandglobe & Somaliland.org. Read the threads and dont comment on Duke as others tend to.

Farax Brown, adeer things have changed in MPLS as you are aware you are the first to start snitching now. AlShabaab have turned out to be bad for all of you. Not a good return on your investment is it. All that money sent to Mogadishu to "help" really helped Al Shabaab.

Somaliland MPs Sign a Parliamentary Motion Calling for a Caretaker President 23 June 2009 | News Fourteen MPs signed in advance a parliamentary motion on Monday calling for a caretaker president if Somaliland presidential election, which had been scheduled for 27 September, did not go ahead as planned. Hargeisa, Somaliland (Somaliland Globe)- Pressure is mounting on president Dahir Rayale Kahin as a cross-party group of MPs began to sign a parliamentary motion calling for the immediate eviction of the president from office if he fails to hold the presidential election by 27 September. The Somaliland Globe has learnt that the motion, which is backed by parliamentary heavyweights including Chairman of the National Security and Internal Affairs Subcommittee, Saeed Elmi Robleh, Secretary of Standing Committee, Ahmed Mohamed Diriye and Chairman of Subcommittee on Human Rights and the Law, Abdirahman Osman Alin, will be tabled on Saturday when more than enough MPs is expected to put their signatures to the motion. The MPs will have the chance to decide how the country should be run if the incumbent caretaker government headed by Dahir Rayale Kahin fails to hold the presidential election by due date. Rayale’s six-month extension of term of office will subsequently run out after 27 September. Somalilanders are becoming increasingly concerned that their country’s politics might enter a period of great uncertainty at a time its neighbouring Somalia disintegrated into fiefdoms ruled by extremists using the cover of Islamic religion to advance their hidden agenda. As a result, the parliament is now preparing itself to have a full debate on ways and means to install a non-partisan leader as the country’s caretaker president if the election fails to happen in September. “We have to realize that human endurance has its limits. The president cannot simply continue to repeatedly test such limits only to turn around and tell the people to put up with yet another postponed election,” said Ahmed Mohamed Diriye, KULMIYE MP. “We must not, as MPs, relent in our duty and purpose. We risk losing our peace and stability if we don’t kill this appalling culture of repeated presidential term extensions at this infant stage”. President Rayale had dithered and wavered over the months to co-operate with the opposition parties in order to find speedy ways to resolve the challenges and problems that lay ahead to avoid possible election delays. Up until now, the government has failed to live up to its promise of paying 25% of its funding contribution towards the election expenses; the National Electoral Commission is in chaos as ‘suspected’ UDUB-leaning commissioners made a daring attempt to dismiss two commissioners from the board on dubious grounds; and a complete and reliable voter registration list has yet to be produced. Few months ago, presidentRayale had rejected to sign a trilateral agreement hammered out by an independent Political Conflict Resolution Committee to enable the nation to have a free, fair and inclusive election. MPs who spoke to Somaliland Globe on Monday night are stressing that it is not a motion of “impeachment” against the president per se but rather is intended to exert maximum pressure on Rayale to hold the presidential election as scheduled if enough MPs supported it when it is debated on Saturday. This will also save the country from falling into chaos, they added. It is not clear whether the caretaker president will exercise full executive powers or not but his main task will be to oversee the staging of presidential election at a mutually agreed timeline. Many Somalilanders, both inside and outside the country, believe that the legitimacy of Dahir Rayale’s presidency has long gone and people have got no faith in him any longer.

Hannibal you either don’t understand the argument or as one suspects playing dumb. The Duke supported the policy of the former TFG that is not in doubt. The aim was simple to restore the state by giving the new armed forces space. Also remember the TFG made its case clear, it was attacked by crazy gangs being led and fed by Eritrea. That is a clear historic record. One has outlined that Sharif Ahmed and his supporters have utterly failed to comprehend the magnitude of the situation. Their criminal actions in opposition to the national government and interest in 2006, led to the devastation of Mogadishu and thousands of deaths and gave room for the Kharajites and Takfiri’s to prosper. Adeer we were correct yesterday, we had a logical and reasoned argument; all they had was envy and deep ignorance of the reality. The reasons why one can not take Sharif Ahmed seriously is because of the overwhelming evidence against him with regards to his doublespeak and flip flopping. The conclusion is the man was never worthy to even speak about Somali issues let alone believe he could lead the nation. His supporters as exemplified by our own MMA, are broken records, angry and frustrated as their hero has been found to be naked as their point of view.

2009 First Quarter Report Seismic Program In Somalia, in the Nogal Block, AOC has acquired all of the more than 4,000 kilometres of existing good quality 2D data which was recorded in the late 1980's. This has enabled the Company to work up an inventory of drilling prospects from which the first two well locations will be selected. At the Dharoor Block, the acquisition of 2D seismic commenced on July 9, 2008. A total of 782 kilometers of good quality data has been acquired, comprised of 15 grid lines. The Company has combined 555 kilometers of previously acquired data into the seismic database.

This is the AfricaOil work program. The Somali wells drilling program are much more advanced than any other.
