South Somalia and North West (Somaliland) have a lot of natural resources.

Yh but not confirmed this is different as it is already confirmed resources.

Oh hell nah. Nope. Somalia will be the piece of grilled chicken surrounded by hungry wolves. :dead::dead::dead:. Somali clans need to make up quick. Otherwise it will get raped. :kanyehmm::kanyehmm::kanyehmm::kanyehmm::kanyehmm:. Its been recorded in history so many times. Somalia also has huge reserves of yttrium perhaps the largest in the world, its a rare earth metal. Sitting on Gold but is being occupied by s. smh. smh.

If Somalia was peaceful and stable, we could've lobbied world governments to think about uranium, like how the oil rich countries did it in the early 1920's-1930's.

Uranium is more damaging than oil on the environment and the locals though. It needs very careful experts to extract it.

nah watch this video, basically during the 60's when uranium was starting to gain momentum, all the oil companies panicked and ordered scientists to do research that exposes uranium power as bad, scientists when doing the research pretty much concluded that uranium was an amazing power source, it had one flaw and that was the waste has nowhere to go, but they also concluded that with further research into reactors this problem was easily solvable, instead lawmakers (in the pocket of big oil) pretty much said nah, ever since then the media always put uranium in a bad light.

 
I was just researching on energy extraction for an assignment, Particularly for uranium. Its relatively expensive to build a uranium power plant but its very profitable in the long run.

Before its use in a reactor, uranium must undergo four processing steps to convert it from an ore to solid ceramic fuel pellets. These processes are: mining and milling, conversion, enrichment and fabrication.

Uranium Conversion
The yellowcake then goes to a conversion plant, where chemical processes convert it to uranium hexafluoride. The uranium hexafluoride is heated to become a gas and loaded into cylinders. When it cools, it condenses into a solid.

Uranium Enrichment
Uranium hexafluoride contains two types of uranium, U-238 and U-235. The percentage of U-235, which is the type of uranium that fissions easily, is less than 1 percent. To make the uranium usable as a fuel, its U-235 content is increased to between 3 percent and 5 percent. This process is called enrichment. The concentration of U-235 is so low in enriched uranium that an explosion is impossible.

Fuel Fabrication
After the uranium hexafluoride is enriched, a fuel fabricator converts it into uranium dioxide powder and presses the powder into fuel pellets. The fabricator loads the ceramic pellets into long tubes made of a noncorrosive material, usually a zirconium alloy. Once grouped together into a bundle, these tubes form a fuel assembly.

For more information, see the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's website pages on "Stages of the Nuclear Fuel Cycle," "Uranium Conversion," and "Fuel Fabrication."

Size of Nuclear Fuel Assemblies
A single fuel assembly for a boiling water reactor (BWR) is approximately 14.5 feet high and weighs approximately 704 pounds. A single fuel assembly for a pressurized water reactor (PWR) is approximately 13 feet high and weighs approximately 1,450 pounds. The PWR fuel assembly weighs more because it contains 264 fuel tubes, while the BWR fuel assembly contains 63.

There is a lot of arid and robust land in somalia away from civilisation. Perfect conditions to build power plants. Whats even more perfect in somalia's best interests is the close proximity to he sea. This means that the energy can be easily sold of at very reasonable prices out of the continent and in continent. There will be very interesting developments for sure.

btw, if you read the report it says glamudug is sitting on a very large surficial deposit, meaning it is easily extracted. And uranium in the ground (naturally formed) isn't harmful, energized uranium is the harmful one. it needs to undergo a certain chemical process to get charged (radioactive)
