My name is Bashir Sheikh Mohamed, and I am a Somali diplomat who worked at the Somali embassy in Stockholm during his tenure as ambassador to the great fighter Abdullahi Isse Mohamud (may God have mercy on him).
May 07, 1979, when Mr. Abdullahi Isse (Ahn) went to Norway to persuade the oil company test WESTERN GECO, I was officially appointed as acting (Chargé D'affaires) open our embassies in countries Sweden, Denmark and Norway (See verbal note) [1].

Therefore, I am deeply saddened by the looting and plundering of my people and my homeland and I decided to share my experience with my Somali brothers and sisters, and to stand by the brothers who took the pen to defend our country and our interests in general.
I will try to summarize what I know about how Norway's oil exploration project in East Africa began, in light of the current dangerous situation and whether it is now being attempted on land. Somalia has to be legalized in Kenya. Although the United Nations has recently opposed the IS-AFAD agreement, it has taken no action. Again, it was a great risk that you looga radar. There are recent reports from the Istanbul Conference that Somali territory has no legal boundaries, and that a border is now being established.
As mentioned above, Mr. Abdullahi Isse (AHN) who was then Somalia's Ambassador to Stockholm (Sweden) negotiated and reached an agreement with WESTERN GECO based in Norway. The company began exploring for oil off the coast of Somalia in 1980 by exploring the first phase of oil wells from Ras Kamboni to Barawe. The second phase is from Barawe to Hoboyo.
The exploration lasted for two months, after which the ship returned to STAWANGER-Norway. Afterwards, they told us that their successful search for that part of Somalia's territorial waters had uncovered two very large holes. They told us that the oil reserves in these two wells are larger than the total oil reserves in Norway, with Norway being one of the largest oil reserves in Europe.
WESTERN GECO, proud of its success in oil exploration, published a monthly report in its own Warside (Bulletin). They reported to oil companies to show their success in oil exploration in Somalia.
Since 1960, Somalia has been explored for oil by a number of companies, including AMOCO, CONOCO, PHILLIPS, CHEVRON, SHELL- (PECTEN), ARCO, AGIP, ENI, SINCLAIR, Total-Fina-ELF (French company). These companies have had agreements with previous governments since the flag was hoisted. These companies have the right to explore for oil on land and on land.
Upon receiving the information in the Western Geco bulletin, the companies woke up and poured into Somalia, arguing that WESTERN GECO was allowed to explore for oil in the Somali sea. The companies allege violations of international agreements.
The Somali government was forced to immediately suspend oil exploration by WESTERN GECO, under an agreement to explore the entire Somali coast. The investigation, which cost $ 10 million, was funded by the Norwegian government. The cost of the previous exploration was $ 2 million, and the remaining eight million dollars were taken back to Norway and they said that the money was for oil exploration. That was the end of Norway's hopes for oil in Somalia.

In recent years Norway, taking advantage of the turmoil and anarchy in Somalia, has once again tried to revive its long-held desire for oil in Somalia. Unfortunately, the Norwegian government has taken the wrong path. We are aware that Norway has been exploring for oil on the border between Somalia and Kenya in recent years. We are also aware of Norway's active role in the IS-AF-GARAD agreement between Kenya and Somalia. Another surprise is the role of the United Nations and its envoy to Somalia, Ahmed Oloude Abdalla, in the attempted piracy off the coast of Somalia.
It is also surprising that the current conference (concluded May 23, 2010) in Turkey with Somalia is legalizing the sea (through fishing). Why are those who are ignoring these issues ignoring the international agreements that Somalia has already entered into that show that Somalia has maritime oil rights within 200 nautical miles (370km)? Do Somali representatives not know that Somalia have rules that clearly define Somalia's internationally recognized maritime boundaries and have entered into international agreements?
Finally, we call on our nation to confront attempts to get contracts to be stolen and dhulkooga khayrkaadka standpoint. No one is missing today, and we must join hands and do our best to defend our country. I would also like to thank the brothers and sisters who are working day and night to save their nation from the looting and the scourge.
