SOMALIA ACCUSES NORWEGIAN OIL EXPLORER DNO OF DESTABILISING COUNTRY September 3, 2014 Norwegian oil company DNO and other small explorers are destabilising Somalia, the African country’s petroleum ministry said on Wednesday, warning it may lodge complaints against these firms to the United Nations Security Council. DNO has been prospecting for oil in Somaliland, a break-away territory of Somalia. The company did not respond to telephone and email requests for comment but in July a senior official said DNO would not engage in any activities that threaten peace in Somaliland. Somalia has been riven by conflict for more than two decades as rival warlords and Islamist militants have fought for control of the Horn of Africa country. The Somali Petroleum ministry said companies signing overlapping oil contracts and striking deals with regional governments were “adding fire to conflicts”. “These small companies are destabilising the country and destroying the international community’s effort to build the peace and the security of the country,” it added. The ministry in a statement singled out DNO, saying the company is “planning to introduce armed militiamen in areas already in conflict and thereby stoking old feuds which resulted in internal displacement and harming the innocent and the most vulnerable people”. The ministry did not provide further details or any proof for its accusations. “We are warning those companies that the Somali government will lodge complaints with their respective countries and the United Nations Security Council,” the ministry added. Around a dozen companies, including many multinational oil and gas majors, had licenses to explore Somalia before 1991, but since then Somaliland and other regional authorities have granted their own licenses for the same blocks. Somali officials last months met representatives of ExxonMobil, ConocoPhillips, Chevron, and BP for the first time since 1991, the ministry said. The government said it wanted the oil majors to provide a timeline for their return to Somalia. East Africa is rapidly emerging as an exciting oil and gas province after discoveries in Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and Mozambique. But U.N. monitors in July warned Western commercial oil exploration in disputed areas of Somalia and discrepancies over which authorities can issue licenses to companies could spark further conflict in the African nation.

Who are they comparing DNA to?

Posted another link, check again.

At the end of meeting, the Minister discussed with the State Department, and the IOC the issues of small hunting oil companies, overlapping prior concessions, signing illegal contracts with non-representative actors which adding fire to local conflicts, environmental degradation, clan hostilities and undermining the sovereignty of the country. These small companies are destabilizing the country and destroying the international community’s effort to build the peace and the security of the country. A case in point is the Norwegian Company (DNO), which is planning to introduce armed militiamen in areas already in conflict and thereby stoking old feuds which resulted internal displacement and harming the innocent and the most vulnerable people.

This guy is hilarious hehe.

The AS problem can only be solved by Somalis. These efforts will eventually fail if there is no proper Somali force. They were attacking Godka Jilicow today as there were being driven of Bulo-mareer.

I thought Elk hunters ( I think I know who they are) from West of the Border? This seems to be an effort to complicate issues.

Is this gimmick to counter Abdiqaybiid, I understand not many Pland clans live in this district?

Tallaabo. You do realize there is no legal basis on which Somaliland can make argument in regards to border demarcation with Somali proper. The only you could secure "your border" is through violence; a fact that will create more animosity among people of the region and will make Somaliland see belligerent, irresponsible entity.

Khayr. I am not defending any system, American or otherwise. You asked what Solers consider modern norms to be, I simply gave you my opinion. If you want to criticize American and Western norms and values, your question should be simply about that instead of using our answers as springboard to your real questions?

Freedom from state sponsored violence, access to basic education, economic opportunities, a fair judiciary, responsible capitalism and the right to worship any religion of my choosing. And importantly the protection and advancement of minority rights!

Dowladda Soomaaliya oo Shaacisay in ay ka xun tahay Weerarkii Saax-dheer Jimco, Ogoosto 29, 2014 (HOL) — Dowladda Somalia ayaa sheegtay inay ka xun tahay weerarkii ay ciidamada Somaliland ku qabsadeen deegaanka Saaxdheer ee gobolka Sool, iyadoo ku baaqday in la joojiyo colaadaha iyo dhiigga daadanaya. Wasiirka warfaafinta Soomaaliya, Mustaf Sheikh Cali Dhuxulow ayaa ka warbixiyey mowqofka dowladda federaalka ee ku aaddan weerarkii shalay ka dhacay deegaanka Saaxdheer. “Dowladda federaalka ah ee Soomaaliya waxay ka xun tahay weerarkii hubeysanaa ee ka dhacay deegaanka Saaxdheer, kaasoo geystay khasaare isugu jira naf iyo maalba,” ayuu yiri Dhuxuloow. Sidoo kale, wasiirka oo hadlakiisa sii wata ayaa yiri. "Dowladdu waxay ku baaqeysaa in la joojiyo dagaalka lagana dhowrsado wax walba oo colaadda sii hurinaya. Dowladdu waxay aamminsan tahay inay dadku xor u yihiin xaqna u leeyihiin inay si nabadgelyo ah isku imaadyo u samaysan karaan, sidaa darteed waxaan ku baaqaynaa in dadkii lagu qabtay Saax-dheer lasii daayo xuriyaddoodana loosoo celiyo si ay arrintaasi ugu adeegto nabadda iyo isku soo dhawaanshaha.” Wasiirka ayaan hadalkiisa ku sheegin in ciidamada laga saaro deegaankaas oo shalay ay la wareegeen ciidamada Somaliland, halka warbixin ay soo saareen Qaramada Midoobay, Midowga Yurub iyo Mareykanka lagu sheegay in si dhaqso ah ciidamada hubeysan looga saaro deegaanka Saaxdheer. “Soomaaliya waxay maanta u baahan tahay nabadgalyo, xasillooni iyo horumar taasoo ku imaan karta is-xaq-dhowrka, is-faham iyo wadahadalna lagu xalliyo wixii is af-garanwaa ah ee jira,” ayuu wasiirku hadalkiisa kusoo gabagabeeyay. Dhanka kale, Somaliland ayaa sheegtay in sababtii ay u weerartay tuulada Saaxdheer ay ahayd iyadoo hub laga keenay Muqdisho iyo Kismaayo halkaa la geeyay, taasoo ay ku tilmaameen mid xadgudub ku ah maamulkooda.

Wadaayow I have no local connections!

Galbeedi. Somaliland did attack Buhoodle! And Somaliland might be stronger than tribal militias but locals always prevail. Federal State or not, the reality is the fate of the Somali peninsula will be determined through qabil politics. Somaliland might see itself as country but the inhabitants are simply loyal to their clans. I think we should be honest with ourselves and simply accept that,
