What other natural resources do the Somali inhabited regions have?

Ever since the oil deal with Turkey, I have been wanting to know what other natural resources we have and in what regions. What first comes to mind is livestock and agriculture in the south, however that seems to be threatened by instability and possible desertification.

I'm aware these resources in the Somali inhabited regions would go to Kenya/Ethiopia/Djibouti, but what are these other regions known to have and how are other countries are utilising these resources. For example, Ethiopia and the oil in Somali Galbeed.

I think Somalia could become a big exporter of teas and coffee. I rarely see anyone mention this idea in comparison to other products even though it seems profitable to me.

Nothing has ever been proven to be commercially viable so it's unlikely there's any resources other than farming and fish.

When there is a competent govt they will extract the sepolite remains, the uranium/platinum and even potential gold. The region has the potential to take somalia out of poverty. In central Somalia we have reserves of Gold, Uranium, Sepiolite, Salt and Ceramics. Adjacent to our settlements here are offshore coastal oil fields. According to this study we were trading these resources since the time of Ajuran.

There is also a swathe of these exact minerals and resources in our southern areas alongside our agriculture and offshore oil and solar power.

The quantity and quality of our industries has the potential to take Somalia out of poverty. Elon Mask will be an El Bur customer for electric batteries and hydrocarbon biofuel.

If we had a good government, we could just lure back Somalis abroad who studied these subjects to run classes on these subjects and put their heads together with locals to make a curriculum. It'd take a long time to build such institutions but it would work. A few other countries did this, if our government was literate then they would take advantage of our already existing diaspora instead of finding ways to send people abroad from scratch.
