Where exactly is the gold ? is it as much as sanaag ?
Locals have been doing gold mining in Awdal for many years now and has become a lucrative enterprise.
Where exactly is the gold ? is it as much as sanaag ?
yeah shabaab and isis ruined it for a while, its the main reason puntland is lacking behind compared to slKnowing Somalis it will look like the Rhineland in two years. My family was about to exploit one of the mines in Bari but then ISIS occupied that area, we still have the machines idling in a port’s warehouse somewhere.
Someone should have told my dad. Back when I was still a pre-teen he dumped like $2 Million USD looking for gold out in the general Bari-Sanaag mountains area. Nothing came of it and since then my fam and I have always looked side-eyed at anyone even remotely talking about gold-mining. When I was in Bari on a roadtrip during the summer of '23 I remember the adeer driving the bus rambling about the mountains being rich in gold and I just nodded along sarcastically.
Hope I'm just bitter and wrong. Kekekeke.
