This is better for xamar as a trash filled city. Turks leading the way for us as usual.

given the nuclear waste, the plant you mentioned is superior to nuclear. So it shall be an export like the oil, even better. There will be no weapons made from it without a doubt, so Somalia doesn’t really need it.
We will use Biogas plants and export Uranium for cash 💰 that's even better.

Copper theft and smuggling pretty much happen all over the world. It's most prevalent in Europe, South Africa and North America believe it or not it is done illegally outside the purview of the govt

The demand for copper is soo high that people are willing to tear down infrastructure and vandalize just to get some.

Copper theft is costing some European countries multiple millions each year.

The report says in the 2022-20223 financial year, the cost of maintenance and service delays caused by the theft of stolen copper-laden signal cables, grounding wires and power lines cost U.K.-based train operators $18 million.

Deutsche Bahn in Germany estimates copper theft costs it about $7.5 million each year and says it logs about 450 metal theft cases annually.

In France, the problem is worse yet, with rail operator SNCF telling Euronews in 2022 metal theft may have caused $21.5 million in losses and interruptions. Neighboring Belgian railways report a 300 percent increase in theft cases in 2022 compared with 2021.

Canadian government for example have a hard time keeping it under control in their own soil

Didn't they have to reduce the amount of copper American nickels were made of because people realized the copper used to make the coin was worth more than the coin and then began melting them down and just selling the copper? Absolutely wild, to be honest.

seriously where does all that money go?
Not surprising are people are fucking stupid. Do you know how mcu gold somali exports? $241 million dollars. It's our second largest export after livestock. Where does all that money go?

A lot of the money goes into local economy and provides income for the people and supports their livelihood, just like the livestock trade does but most of the trade problem lies with the informal nature of it where it might harm the environment, be of subject to exploitation black markets etc and were Alshabaab is targetting it they generate revenue by taxing it 30% selling price and 40% cost price. Because of the unofficial trade we don't know the true estimates of the revenue from it.

The fault lies on the weak Puntland and Somaliland governments due to their limited institutional capability to regulate and control gold mining and exports.

When it comes to bashing SL on this site, any bullshit news you literally post will be considered as true verified source. For example, the op posted a video that does not indicate or say those rocks are being smuggled nor would you find anything on the internet claiming that other than the xafajo on twitter.

Miyanad xishoon horta? You calling me butthurt cuz I called you out on your bullshit post and what does that happening in bosaso or xamar has to do with berbera?
Caqligan dabada ku sidatid ka soo sar sxb
 
You still going on waliba. You posted a vid that does say what you claim, there nothing on the internet supporting your bs so my question for you is that where are the Chinese whos smuggling Copper illegally thru berbera?

The news yesterday that Berbera port is booming hurt the haters of Somaliland. They had to throw some dirt on the name of Berbera.
 
Guys this is a much bigger problem.
I stumbled across this when I was in somaliland looking to make money.
Apparently there are dozens mining operations most of them artisinal and small scale.
The locals are robbed because they are getting payed peanuts, and there is fierce competition from the buyers .
The market is crazy and all mostly underground some are officially registered and pay tax to the government.
I was shocked to hear from someone from the government that approximately $100 million worth of gold was mined and exported from somaliland in the last 5 years alone.
This is only from the operations the government knows about and taxes.

Naturally after this I dived all in, for the last months been planning and I leave next month .
The country is full of virgin deposits of high quality.
We have rare earth's like niobium, tantalum the country is full of them.
I've tested 2 different deposits myself.
And gold the country is full of gold, I've seen 5 deposits.
