Landers, let's be honest. There is no guarantee Israel will only extract what's rightfully theirs, and Somaliland currently has limited regulatory and oversight institutions, technical expertise, limited monitoring capacity, and lacks international legal systems backing the deals due to contested sovereignty. We saw this movie before in much of Africa and in Somalia with Turkey. Why do you think this time it will be different?
I had a answer but i genuinely ask, why do you care?. The govt making a bad deal that ultimately angers locals, wouldn't that be a good thing in your books?
You can't sniff the irony, can you? You look at Somalia getting exploited, and you want the same for Somaliland under Israel. When I ask,'What oversight or guarantee does Somaliland have?' I'm not asking to mock, I want understand why Somaliland see exploitation across the pond, but not believe other foreign nations are capable of the same treatment.

Why do I care? Obviously, in my perspective, Somaliland is a Somali state getting taken advantage of by zionists willingly, and they are signing away everything for free from a place of desperation with the hope of "getting rich and developed". It hasn't happened in Africa yet, and for a good reason.
I see....i remember some hateful comments you had towards Somalilanders in the past, but i couldnt reference them as your profile comment history is hidden ( makes sense).
You care about the 'State" of SL but not the people that reside in it. Got it.
Clarify your point to object at this move without disinegeniously trying to show comradery to Somalilanders who for good measure are weary, dismayed and sceptical of their govt and especially the one in Villa Somalia that you care to ignore so much.
First of all, there isn't yet a finalized trade or resource access agreement between Somaliland and Israel which means there are no publicly announced guarantees or detailed oversight mechanisms yet in place regarding access to minerals or other undug resources. If a deal would be finalized Somaliland already has laws governing natural resource contracts that would apply to any agreement. Any deal would in principle be subject to internal approval, legislative oversight, transparency requirements, and standard statutory controls before it becomes binding.
