1968 - Uranium discovered in Somalia

[AbdiJew]

This is a NY Times article, back in the day when it was an honourable paper.

 

[AbdiJew]

If you read the article further, yttrium was also discovered, which is worth 6 times more than uranium.

 

[Arman]

I heard we had 1/3 of the world supply, but the article says a 1/4. I wonder how much we have now...

 

[Coulombs law]

Makes me wonder if Somalia would pursue some sort of Uranium plus other mineral extraction after it reaches stability

NIL! iirc there were rumours about jewish guy roaming in central somalia with private military detail and loyal local somali clan providing support etc. he even married a local xalimo to est roots!
they said he was extracting uranium as it was very close the surface...something along that lines!

coincidentally it was sometime before iranians opened embassy in xamar and provided assistance! go figure!

Wouldn't be surprised if it were true. Somalis selling themselves out isn't anything new unfortunately.

AND WE COULD HAVE BEEN GONE BY NOW, TAKING THE WHOLE WORLD WITH US!

imagine, instead of ak47 and toori, geeljire nomads using nukes warheads carried by herds of camels!

we are better off without it and all natural resources too. they are resource curse and create dutch disease and more conflicts!

 

[TSP]

I hope Somalia never extracts it in the near future. I don't want foreign mercs and states to eat on Somala's god given resources

Iran was interested in Somalia since 70s because of the uranium
and their ambitions to build Neclear power.

The Uranium is in the Bur Range. The range covers Bay, Gedo and Jubba Dhexe. The Bur range is the same area that holds the Iron Ore Deposits.

Jubbaland is by far the most resource rich gobol in Somalia. This is why everyone needs to play nice and share assets.
Everyone has what the other needs and vise versa.

 

[Von]

Somalia should join the World Nuclear Association and use it for technical transfer

I knew your entreprenia greedyness would make you research where to find uranium in somalia!

What other money making stuff did you explore in somalia? are this in your list if not ku darso sxb;

-sending maids to saudi arabia
-kidnapping children for organ harvesting in india
-assembling geeljires for private security company for fighting in yemen, patrolling qatars border with s.arabia. etc etc

US is sending its democracy to Somalia soon.

Somalia should now start a nuclear race in Africa. If we have nuclear we would be in control of africa and the arabian peninsula.

Why don't you start by learning how to make toys first?

I would rather learn how to kill axmaaro injirleey

Are you chewing khat sxb, elaborate more. Are you suggesting that we will take over the world or something?

 

[Malcolm X]

With research on Thorium nuclear reactors and fusion nuclear reactors, uranium is likely to become worthless within 50 years.

No am suggesting that with Somalia being a nuclear power and the history of our military might, we could easily be calling the shots on the regional and geopolitical arena
