The most minerals found in Somalia are considered highly critical to the economic and national security of the United States and other industrialized countries by the USA government and the European Union, It's no wonder the USA is spending billions dollars to maintain military base in Somalia.
According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS) old report, Somalia has abundant deposits of uranium, bauxite, copper, iron ore, platinum, niobium, tungsten, tin, beryllium, tantalum, yttrium, barium-barite, cobalt, lead, silver, gold, thorium, gypsum, salt, lithium, natural gas, oil, aluminum, zinc, gemstones, talc, sulphur, marble, coal, kaolin, granite, limestone, emerald, aquamarine, ruby, sapphire as well as vast amounts of garnet, quartz and rare earth, More extensive coverage of Somalia minerals can be found on the U.S. Geological Survey website, These minerals are the real reason why the United States has been militarily involved in Somalia since 1992.
Furthermore, It's widely known that the United States has been keeping a low profile about its exploration of natural resources and collecting data in Somalia, Since 1992, the United States Geological Survey has been secretly mapping Somalia's untapped natural resources, Nearly half of the United States troops stationed in Somalia are in fact scientists of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and CIA spy agents, Somalia is easy prey for American imperialism.
- "Our forces are not now, nor will they be, directly engaged in combat operations," said Pentagon press secretary John Kirby. "The purpose here is to enable a more effective fight against al-Shabab by local forces.”
This is a blatant lie, the purpose here is to control Somalia and to keep on spying the entire HOA.
This American doesn't know why he is here, in Somalia.
