Ofcourse no one else was interested to extract our resources only Turkey Came to do it now they're crying because they don't want Somalia to be self sufficient economic power in East Africa.
I've seen many Arab media crying about this deal it shows who our true enemies are.

When do 87% of Somalis agree on something? People are tired. Iโ€™m worried we might have so much oil wealth and still remain the poorest just like Angola. What safeguards are there against this? If millions get employed in these industries then great.

All we have to do is follow the Norway path and our citizens are rich.
Sounds good on paper. It pains me to say this but I think those peopleโ€™s leaders are smarter and more ethical than ours. They realize that theft of the nationโ€™s wealth hurts them in the long term too.

Itโ€™s one of the most oil rich countries in the world. American companies take 90% and then the countryโ€™s leaders take the rest.
Yeah that's why we didn't trust the west in the first place to extract our oil just look at Syria they occupy the Oil fields and take it by force look at Nigeria they milk their oil and starve their citizens same goes for Angola why would Somalia trust the west there is no trustable ally except Turkey

You know our oil is Nationalised that means it's owned by the entire Somaliweyn all the revenue from the oil will only be used for projects in the entire country it's not privatised for companies or individuals so don't worry those countries I mentioned were forced to privatise their oil companies thats why its owned by individuals like Angola and Nigeria

I really hope this is true. Then I can live with the inevitable corruption and nepotism by the leaders as long as some of it finds its way into the average manโ€™s pocket.

Norway was a middle-upper rich country compared to others when they found fossil fuel. wey daragsanayeen, with strong institutions and transparency.

30% is too much but dumbass somalis dont know how to extract nothing
 
As far as Iโ€™m aware, Somaliโ€™s currently do not have the expertise to drill and refine our oil so 30% is a good deal. The problem arises when you realize that this isnโ€™t a government made by the people but one created and put in place by the west in which only the most corrupt people are at the helms. Obviously this was done to secure our resources at or close to 100% going to the west.

Turkey was granted authority to protect and uphold the territorial waters of Somalia. In exchange Turkey will be entitled to 30% of the revenues generated by activities within Somalia's exclusive economic zone including oil and gas.

This is basically the neo colonialism that turkey is doing. Why should we share our resources with them? Cause they are Muslim ๐Ÿ˜‚ itโ€™s secular country with deep ties to Israel. Walhy turkey will benefit the most of it, and somalis will be happy to be colonized by turkey. Naive people
 
All we have to do is follow the Norway path and our citizens are rich.

The Norwegian model requires the utmost self perseverance even the Gulf Arabs who purchased Lambos and Bugatti's could not do it and now are running around to diversify away from oil.

For Somalia to follow the Norwegian model = instant not only an African success story but global success story, no tribal wars, complete peace aka top 20 in the world etc.

I can do that but the Somalis in Somalia? I don't think so.
