 <title><![CDATA[Canadian Company Mindesta Inc, undertaking mineral exploration in Somaliland]]></title>
 <link>http://www.radiosomaliland.com/index.php?blogid=0index.php?itemid=1059</link>
<description><![CDATA[<div class="leftbox"></div>OTTAWA, CANADA--(Marketwire - May 9, 2012) - Mindesta Inc. ("Mindesta" or the "Company") (OTCBB:MDST) wishes to announce that it now has an option to earn an interest in a third exploration permit in the Republic of Somaliland. Mindesta is already earning up to an 80 per cent interest in, and can ultimately acquire 100% of, the first two mineral exploration permits issued by the Republic of Somaliland under an existing Option Agreement with Nubian Gold Corporation ("Nubian"). Nubian was recently awarded a third permit, Abdul Qadir, which is approximately 2,000km2 in size and is located in the northeast part of Somaliland adjacent to the borders with Djibouti and Ethiopia. Abdul Qadir is automatically included in the Option Agreement pursuant to its terms with no change in expenditure requirements. Nubian has agreed with the government of Somaliland to reduce the size of the Arapsyo and Qabri Bahar permits by 50% following completion of the first phase exploration program.<br />
<br />
Option Agreement<br />
<br />
Nubian already held title to two 2,000km2 mineral exploration permits, Arapsyo and Qabri Bahar, in the Republic of Somaliland. Under the Option Agreement, Mindesta can earn a 50% interest in these permits, as well as any subsequently acquired, by incurring total exploration expenditures of $2 million within two years and can increase its interest to 80 per cent by completing a bankable feasibility study on any permit. Mindesta is required to make an upfront cash payment of $100,000 to Nubian as compensation for expenses incurred, and the first $750,000 of exploration expenditures represents a firm commitment. Mindesta also has the option to acquire all of Nubian's remaining interest in the permits at fair market value at any time after incurring the first $750,000 of exploration expenditures. The initial $100,000 payment to Nubian has not yet been paid.<br />
<br />
Field Program<br />
<br />
Mindesta has completed a stream and rock sampling program over the Arapsyo and Qabri Bahar permits which involved taking over 2,000 samples and has already initiated a similar program on the Abdul Qadir permit. The Company has received some preliminary assay results but the majority are still at the lab waiting to be processed. Once all results are received, the Company will analyze and compile the data and plan a second stage exploration program to follow up on the most promising targets.<br />
<br />
Mindesta has established an exploration office in Somaliland and currently has a staff of approximately 30 employees. To date, exploration expenditures of approximately $410,000 have been incurred. The Company will require additional financing to execute the second stage program.<br />
<br />
The Nubian Shield encompasses parts of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Sudan, Eritrea and Somaliland and is host to many major mineral deposits including Bisha in Eritrea, Sukari in Egypt, and five gold/base metal mines in Saudi Arabia that are owned and operated by Ma'aden Gold, the state mining company. Somaliland has over 30,000km2 of exposed Precambrian rocks. Extensive sampling and mapping by the British, US and Russians in the 1970s identified a number of areas that are anomalous in gold, copper, lead, zinc and nickel. The program is being supervised by Remi Bosc who has 15 years of experience as a mineral exploration, resource and mining geologist in Europe, Africa and south- east Asia and was project geologist during the discovery of the Tasiast deposit in Mauritania, and Tucker Barrie Ph.D who is a recognized expert with a great deal of practical experience in the Arabia/Nubian Shield.<br />
<br />
Gregory Bowes, CEO of Mindesta stated that: "the Company has achieved first mover status in an area of the world which we believe has very attractive geology and an underappreciated political situation and the acquisition of the Abdul Qadir permit solidifies our position."<br />
<br />
About Somaliland<br />
<br />
The Republic of Somaliland is located on the Red Sea between Djibouti to the west, Somalia to the east and Ethiopia to the south. Somaliland is a former British colony that gained its independence in 1960 and became a member of the United Nations. Somaliland subsequently agreed to join Italian Somaliland, in an informal partnership that was never ratified by their respective parliaments, to form the greater "Somalia". Following the collapse of the Somalia government in 1992, Somaliland withdrew from the partnership and reasserted its independence. While the rest of the world has not yet officially recognized Somaliland's "re-independence", Somaliland has held three free, fair, and non-violent elections, it jails pirates and extremists, and it is one of the few functioning democracies in Africa and the Middle East.<br />
<br />

 <title><![CDATA[Drill for oil in Somaliland? Why not, says Australian firm]]></title>
 <link>http://www.radiosomaliland.com/index.php?blogid=0index.php?itemid=1055</link>
<description><![CDATA[<div class="leftbox"></div>Australia-based Jacka Resources plans to start oil exploration in Somaliland, a region of Somalia that declared itself independent in 1991. Nice work if you can get it.Imagine a particularly challenging country in which to do business. Let's say it’s a country that is not recognized by any other country, so all business has to be conducted either in off-shore accounts or in cash. On land, militant groups fight against the government and take the occasional foreign aid worker hostage. At sea, pirates attack and capture freighters, tankers, and even pleasure boats. Most food in the local economy comes from foreign donations, because the region is prone to conflict and famine.  <br />
<br />
Would you invest in such a country?<br />
<br />
Australia’s Jacka Resources gas and oil exploration company would. And if you guessed that the country is Somalia, you’re very close. The country is Somaliland, which declared itself independent from Somalia in 1991, and has remained a functioning, but unrecognized, independent republic ever since. Much safer and more stable than its eastern and southern neighbor, Somaliland also sits in a geological zone where oil is likely to occur, and it recently awarded its first oil concessions to foreign oil prospecting companies.<br />
<br />
Jacka Resources – which has also successfully explored oil in Uganda’s Lake Albert – will begin seismic tests, gravity tests, and exploratory drilling soon in the 22,000 square kilometer Habra Garhajis block in southwestern Somaliland, where oil has been found to seep to the surface in at least nine separate locations.<br />
<br />
Jacka chairman Scott Spencer said that his company looked forward to working together with Petrosoma, a Somali affiliate of Prime Resources Limited, on exploring the Habra Garhajis block, which he says has “enormous potential.”<br />
<br />
Jacka is not alone. The Somaliland government has also signed exploration agreements with London-listed company Ophir Energy, Asante Oil, and Prime Resources, which owns Petrosoma.<br />
<br />
Whether this newfound economic activity is a good thing or not probably depends on one’s outlook. For many Somalilanders, any form of investment is a good thing, creating the possibility of new local jobs both with the oil prospectors and with the transportation, housing, restaurants, and other service-industry business that would potentially do business with Jacka Resources.<br />
<br />
Mohammed Yusuf Ali, chairman and chief executive officer of both Prime Resources and Petrosoma, said, “this is a great day for all Somalilanders,” adding, “all Somalilanders will benefit if we discover oil in this block.”<br />
<br />
But oil is not always a blessing for a poor country emerging from conflict.<br />
<br />
In Nigeria, oil revenues are one of the biggest sources of corruption for government officials. It's one of the major sources of tension between citizens and their government, and between regions that have oil and those that don’t. Oil discovered along poorly demarcated international borders is especially problematic, as the current fighting between Sudan and South Sudan shows.<br />
<br />
The shaky transitional government of Somalia has already complained about Kenya’s discovery of offshore oil in waters claimed by Somalia, a matter that Somalian Foreign Affairs Minister Abdullahi Haji called “a territorial argument that came after oil and gas companies became interested in the region,” in an interview with Reuters.<br />
<br />
The notion that oil is a curse is a bit overdone, of course.<br />
<br />
Some countries with strong legal systems, such as Britain, Norway, and Ghana, manage to squeeze a bit of benefit out of the oil trade with little negative effect. Other countries, such as Angola, Nigeria, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Sudan, and South Sudan are not so fortunate.<br />
<br />
But for Somaliland, simply having a conversation about the possible downsides of an oil-based economy is a discussion – and even a curse – worth having.<br />

 <link>http://www.radiosomaliland.com/index.php?blogid=0index.php?itemid=1051</link>
<description><![CDATA[<div class="leftbox"> </div>Hargeysa - Dawlada Somaliland ayaa sheegtay inay Qaadacday ka qayb galka shirka bisha soo socota lagu qaban doono wadanka Turkiga, kaasi oo ay lagaga hadlayo sidii Somaliya dib u heshiisiin iyo dawladnimo loogu dhisi lahaa. Wasiirka arrimaha dibada Somaliland Maxamed C/laahi Cumar oo go’aankani ka hadlay ayaa waxa uu sheegay in shirkani uu yahay mid aan Somaliland wax badan ka qusayn maadaama oo ay tahay wadan madax banaan.<br />
 Wasiirka oo u waramayey Idaacada afka Somaliga ku hadasha ee BBC-da ayaa sheegay in shirkani yahay mid lagaga hadlay xaga siyaasada Somaliya iyo sidii dawladd loogu soo dhisi lahaa, waxaanu yidhi isaga oo wasiirku arrimahaasi ka hadlaya<br />
 “Marka ugu horayso ajandaha shirkan Turkiga lagu qabanayaa uu u badan yahay arrimo xagga siyaasadda ah oo dawlad loogu dhisayo dalka Soomaaliya, arrimahaasina ma aha arrimo khuseeya Somaliland,”.<br />
 Dr. Maxamed Cabdilaahi oo hadalkiisa sii watay wuxuu yidhi “Somaliland waa dal madax-banaan oo arrimihiisu u gaar yihiin. kamanay mid ahayd dariiqaas khariiradda nabadda (Road map-ka).sida waraaqaha loo soo dhigayna kama turjumayso qaranimadda iyo madax-banaanida Somaliland, haddii aan arrintaas wax laga qabanna ma filayo inay Somaliland ka qeyb-geli doonto shirkaasi.”<br />
 Wasiirka ayaa sidoo kale sheegay in ay shirkaasi ku jiro qodobo ay ka danaynayaan, waxaanu isaga oo arrimahaasi ka hadlayana waxa uu yidhi “Shirkaasi imika sida loo soo dhigay ma ah si aanu ku tagi karno, waxaanu dalbaynaynaa dawladda Turkigu anagoo danaynayna qeybo ka mid ah arrimaha lagaga hadlayo shirkaa qeyb ka mid ah oo xagga dhaqaalaha iyo horumarka u badan inay dib u eegto nidaamka ay Somaliland kaga soo qeyb galayso Somaliland oo aanu jecel nahay inuu noqdo mid la mid ah kii shirkii London aanu kaga qeyb-galay bishii febarwari ee sanadkan,”<br />
<br />
 Wasiirka oo la weydiiyay mawqifka Somaliland ee la xidhiidha shir Muqdisho ka furmay oo ay ka qeyb galeen Salaadiin aad u badan oo lagaga hadlayo ansixinta dastuurka cusub ee Somaliland, isagoo arrintaasi ka jawaabayayna wuxuu yidhi “Horta marka u horeysa waxaanu rajaynaynaa in lagu najaxo, dedaalka lagu wado sidii Soomaaliya nabad iyo dawladnimo loogu soo celin lahaa. Hase yeeshee dastuurkaas doodiisa, xulashadiisa, arrimihiisa iyo ansixintiisuba oo la sheegay inay Soomaaliya ka bilaabmeen. Waa dastuur aan khusaynin Somaliland.”<br />
<br />
 Wasiirka oo hadalkiisa sii wata ayaa waxa uu yidhi <br />
“Somaliland waa qaran madax-banaan oo dastuur u gaar ah leh oo muddo 21 sanadood ahna dalkeeda madax-banaani ku maamulanaysay, waxaanu ka xunahay in dastuurkaasi la sheegay in arrimihiisa lagu gudo-jiro inuu sheeganayo oo ay ku jirto gobolo ka mid ah Somaliland. Arrintaasna waxaanu u aragnaa mid nasiib darro ah oo aan Soomaaliyana aan wax u tarayn, Somaliland-na aan khusayn, Waxaanu ugu baaqaynaa masuuliyiinta arrintaasi ku hawlan inay ka saaraan sheegashada ay had iyo jeer sheeganayaan gobolo ka mid ah Somaliland”.<br />
 Dr. Maxamed Cabdilaahi oo la weydiiyay sida uu u arko salaadiin reer Somaliland ah oo shirka ansixinta dastuurka Soomaaliya lagu soo casuumay, wuxuu ku jawaabay “Salaadiintu iyagaa nagaga lexjeclo badan qaranimadda Somaliland, dalkana iyagaa bud-dhig u ah nabad-gelyadiisa iyo dhismihiisaba. Laakiin arrintan ka qeyb galka dawladda loo samaynayo Soomaaliya iyo dastuurkeeda, arrin sharciga dalku ogol yahay ma aha salaadiinta iyo dadka kaleba way ka war-hayaan xeer baa dalkan ka jira oo aan arrimahaasi fasaxayn.<br />
<br />
 Dawladda Somaliland iyadoo wakiil ka ah qaranka, waxa dhawaan Baarlamaanka Somaliland u fasaxay inay ku meteli karto dalka wixii wada hadal ah ee lala yeelanayo Soomaaliya. Walaa siyaasiyiin, salaadiin, xisbiyo cid aan dawladda ahayn oo ka qeyb gali kartaa oo sharcigu u ogol yahay wada hadalo nabadeed ama siyaasadeed oo lala galo Soomaaliya ma jirto oo lama ogola.”<br />

 <title><![CDATA[An open letter to Mr. Siilanyo the president of Somaliland]]></title>
 <link>http://www.radiosomaliland.com/index.php?blogid=0index.php?itemid=1049</link>
<description><![CDATA[<b>Subject:  How selectively some parties were chosen over others!</b> - This forum is utterly deplores the injustice involved in the final results of the new political parties! How they classified which won and which did not was unfair, deceptive and fraudulent to say it mildly!  <br />
Once to every leader and nation comes the point in time to decide, in the contention of justice and injustice, of truth and falsehood for good or evil! Mr. President take the justice side, take the moral side, take the godly side, take the good side this time and correct the wrongs done by unthinking body of people of yours!<br />
 <br />
This forum is calling you Mr. President to revisit the shameful, fraudulent and unfair result regarding the new parties which has been announced by your commission yesterday!<br />
What they called a pass was a blunder! In this way we did not create new blood and new parties, we created hatred and mistrust against each other and against the government!<br />
<br />
How the commission did such unfair selection of the so called winners and losers is a recipe for disaster. It will further widen the distance between the people and their government! <br />
The government seems they are at war with particular clans and personalities!  Such government move will invite Mr. Maheega to mediate between the Somaliland communities if the government insists on its wrongs! God for bid!  <br />
<br />
What a tangled web of discordant and conflict the commission for the political parties weaved when first they allowed buses full of people to go around from one region to another region, with the same people in all these places, then declared the beneficiaries of this deceiving practice the winner parties, while on the contrary the genuine and honest parties who did not move the same people around from one point to another and to another were declared losers! It is not only an administrative malfeasance it seems that it was planed, and those who did this did not think a bit! The real loser here is Somaliland! <br />
<br />
The parties they said they failed have the true electoral masses while most of the others they said they passed don’t and that was the reason they allowed them to move the same people around! The government of Mr. Siilanyo is in the thick of this destructive exercise! God is watching. The world is watching! We are watching! History is registering this and the wrath of the people goes to the wrong doers!<br />
<br />
In entertaining, accepting and declaring this result right and final amounts to declaration of instability and communal conflicts created by the government! <br />
This is a wrong move which in one stroke undermines the trust of the people to their government, the process of democracy and the dispensation of fairness to all.<br />
<br />
This forum is calling Mr.Siilanyo to revisit this deceptive and destructive judgment and decisions taken by the ill advised commission of his! It is simply appalling. <br />
<br />
What has happened here is unacceptable. It undermined the rights of all communities! It undermined democracy and the process of democracy! It undermined decency and justice for all.<br />
<br />
If the leadership does not heed and usually they don’t, we may need Mr.Maheega!! Not between us and Somalia but between the Somaliland communities and between the government and the people, God for bid!  <br />
<br />
If the government fails to revisit and change these fraudulent results, it will take us to that direction and to that man no matter how undesirable it is! <br />
Finding pleasure in this by the government or by the creators of this is idiot’s delight!<br />
May Allah help us? Allah helps those who help them selves. <br />

 <title><![CDATA[For Rebels in Mali, Odds of Establishing a Nation (Somaliland)  Are Slim]]></title>
 <link>http://www.radiosomaliland.com/index.php?blogid=0index.php?itemid=1047</link>
<description><![CDATA[JOHANNESBURG — Lines etched in sand are playthings of the wind. So it is no wonder that the nomadic Tuareg people of West Africa, who have for centuries plied caravan routes that crisscross the Sahara with little regard for national borders, have long believed in their right to their own state. And on Friday, by their lights, they got one: rebel fighters in the ancient crossroads of Timbuktu, Mali, announced the birth of a nation called Azawad. In a declaration on its Web site, the rebellious National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad said it proclaimed “irrevocably the independent state of Azawad, starting from this day, Friday April 6, 2012.” The declaration said the rebels recognized the inviolability of their borders with neighboring countries and promised to draw up a democratic constitution. <br />
<br />
But the declaration is unlikely to be embraced by anyone. The African Union has a near-ironclad policy against the dismemberment of its member countries. Algeria, which shares a desert border with Mali, and the West African regional trade bloc, known as Ecowas, were reported Friday to have opposed the nation’s partition. The United Nations is all but sure to reject the claim, too. Western powers, concerned about vast, ungoverned territory in the desert being used by local affiliates of Al Qaeda, have already registered their displeasure. <br />
<br />
Defense Minister Gérard Longuet of France said Friday that a unilateral declaration “which is not recognized by African states would not have any meaning for us.” <br />
<br />
The name Azawad refers to the areas where Tuaregs live in Mali, Niger and southern Algeria, and they base their claim to independence on the uniqueness of their lifestyle, language and history. A light-skinned, nomadic people never fully subjugated by French colonizers, they have always lived a life apart from the darker-skinned southerners who govern them in Mali and Niger. <br />
<br />
The rest of Mali is in disarray after a military coup that toppled the elected government last month, and even if the junta returns power to the nation’s democratic institutions — as it told reporters on Friday that it would — there is little likelihood that anyone will defeat the Tuaregs on the battlefield anytime soon. <br />
<br />
<b>Still, they face slim odds of establishing a nation. Just ask Ahmed Abdi Habsade, a government minister in Africa’s other unrecognized state, Somaliland. “We have many problems,” Mr. Habsade said in a telephone interview from Somaliland’s capital, Hargeysa. “The country cannot get donations from the U.N. or other governments. We are not having a budget to develop our country.” <br />
<br />
Somaliland, which sits in the northwestern corner of Somalia, has been a de-facto independent nation for the better part of two decades, and an oasis of calm in the chaos that has swept up Somalia. Its claims to independence date from the colonial era, when it was a British protectorate while Somalia was controlled by Italy. The two states merged after independence, but the Somalilanders had almost immediate regrets, and have been trying to break free ever since. <br />
<br />
Somaliland has had successes, including holding peaceful elections, yet it has struggled without an international stamp of approval on its nationhood. The country lacks many of the trappings of a state. It has no real banking services, leaving people dependent on the hawala money transfer system and a cellphone payment network to make small purchases. Its passports are largely meaningless. <br />
<br />
Najiib Hassan, 43, is a consultant to the Somaliland government and a proud citizen of it. But he travels on his United States passport when he is abroad — he grew up in Oregon, where his parents had emigrated. <br />
<br />
Somalilanders who do not have a foreign passport have little choice but to go to Somalia to get travel documents, a great humiliation, Mr. Hassan said. “It is unfair,” he said. “When it comes to Bosnia and other places in Europe, they recognize their claim. But when it is black people, they don’t care or pay attention.” <br />
<br />
An African Union fact-finding mission in 2005 said that Somaliland might have legitimate claims to independence, calling it “unique and self-justified in African political history.” Seven years on, the African Union has yet to change its position. <br />
<br />
The claim of the Tuaregs, who have risen up against the government repeatedly since Mali won its independence from France in 1960, has even less legitimacy, analysts say. Unlike Somalia, Mali is a functioning nation that, until the coup last month, had a functioning, democratically elected government. </b><br />
<br />
Seeking to bolster their claim, the rebels on Friday cited the charter of the United Nations and separatist ambitions dating to 1958, two years before Mali’s independence, and urged foreign powers to recognize Azawad as a new nation. <br />
<br />
But divisions are already emerging between the main rebel faction and an Islamist group fighting by its side, Andar ud-Dine. “We are against independence,” declared a man identified as the military chief of the Islamist group in Timbuktu this week, in a video released by Agence France-Presse. “We are against all rebellions not in the name of Islam.” <br />
<br />
Africa’s borders are in many ways fictions. They are largely a creation of European colonial powers, who carved up the continent in the 19th century for their own convenience, paying no mind to ethnic, religious and linguistic borderlines that had existed for centuries before any white man set foot on the continent. <br />
<br />
But when African leaders formed the Organization of African Unity in 1963, one of the guiding principles was that the colonial borders, no matter how inconvenient they might be, should be sacrosanct. The alternative — a continent smashed into thousands of shards, constantly at war — was unthinkable. The organization, which came to be discredited as a club for despots, was disbanded in 2002, and restarted as the African Union. Much of the old structure was jettisoned, but the commitment to colonial borders remained. <br />
<br />
There have been a few exceptions. Eritrea won its independence in 1993 after a long and very bloody war with Ethiopia. South Sudan, which had been operating as all but independent from the northern half of Sudan, voted to become independent in 2011 as part of a peace deal that ended a 20-year civil war. <br />
<br />
But the story of separatism in Africa has been one of thwarted dreams and hard-won compromise. When the Igbo people of southern Nigeria tried to break free in 1967, the civil war was so brutal that no other group in that polyglot nation has tried with such force again. Separatist movements, both armed and peaceful, grind on in Ethiopia, Angola and Cameroon, among others, with little hope of success. <br />
<br />
The only real solution to the separatist problem in Africa is more development and integration, said Stephen Zunes, a professor at the University of San Francisco who has written about conflicts in northern Africa. <br />
<br />
“Ultimately the best way would be to do what we have been seeing in Europe,” he said. “If there is great unity economically and cooperation, the national boundaries are not that important anymore. The less that these artificial boundaries are important in the grand scheme of things, the less that these groups feel like minorities.”<br />
