We need to invest in our blessed land

It would have been easier if posted all the tweets

We have enough limestone and probably iron ore there to build the whole nation.

We just need reliable property rights. Somaliland should've put this into law a decade back.

We don't need FDI to exploit these resources.

A large cement or steel plant only costs tens of millions of dollars.

Ten thousand of us investing $5,000 would more than cover it and it should break even within 2 years.

Somaliland stock exchange when?

 

[Ras]

Don’t forget warsangeli live in calmadow the greenest part of sanaag

So you want your cut?

There's plenty to eat for everyone. Just invest or take a job.

Every ton of iron mined will support dozens of jobs in the value chain.

We just need a way for private companies to start work without having to deal with greedy local clans and warlords.

This is why business in Somalia struggle. Too many people want to suck it dry before it gets even started.

Somaliland has control over it.

We ain't giving shit to Somalia who has two rivers, oil deposits and agriculture.

Not all of it but let’s not argue about that, it’s for the locals to reap the rewards of their land

If Warsangelis own buisnesses in Hargeisa. They can share with us.

We need to fully develop Somaliland.

Start using it then. Those resources were there for millions of years.

We already have oil deposits and gemstones.

The mountains are filled with fauna and flora so in my opinion I wouldn't extract anything there and make it a reserve park.

There are undiscovered species there.

It's a huge place. Just mining a tiny area at the foot of the mountains would transform the SL industry.

Somebody needs to take a real effort to be a first mover. The problem with limestone mining is that there is a long payback on investment, which in turn could cause problems for the mining life-cycle both from an economic and technical point of view.

To make it work it needs to go high scale, all the preparations of market demand and long-term contracts must be established, not to mention infrastructure, plus the operational targets for each equipment must be met, or you'll get an inefficient nonsensical operation.

There need to be other structural needs for operational planning to run with more efficiency too. Or you'd end up as that guy on your avatar. Lol

Somaliland would see a tremendous gain if someone collectively made this happen.

There are plenty with of us with the necessary technical skills and operational experience.

Geeljire also have successfully built large organizations before.

The only thing we're missing is property rights.

Sure you can buy a house but when it comes to anything larger than that it's never yours hence why you can't make long-term economical bets.

Fix that and the rest is manageable.

I'm not doubting the potential of Somalis to organize and get shit done, but the conditions – since this is very much going into different dimensions. A big operation in that politically non-transparent environment, being at the mercy of the rulers, with no specific laws, as you mentioned, is a problem. It can work, though.

I was watching this doc

Very lush place

"Somaliland has control over it."

Stop lying to the people. Its divided Somaliland controls the western side known as doolo mountains

The east side where warsangeli nomads live - are connected to Bosaso which is their main market for their produce

This guy lives there and he's appealing to the PL government to build roads for them.
