World's largest deposits of gypsum-anhydrite.

Quote:

Somalia also has resources of gypsum. The largest deposit
occurs at Suria Malableh, which has an estimated resource of 5
Mt of 80% pure gypsum and more than 2.5 Mt of 90% pure
anhydrite. Material from the Suria Malableh deposit has been
used to make calcinated gypsum, school chalk, and medical
plaster. Plans to gradually increase gypsum production for the
domestic market to 200,000 t/yr have been delayed by the war.
Other gypsum deposits occur in southern Somalia close to the
Belet Weine and the Bulo Burti areas (Chakrabarti, 1988, p. 90-
92).

I just want to make it clear that Somalia does not have an EEZ and has never recognized/classified any of its waters as such. Rather Somalia, along with a few other countries such as Peru, recognizes those waters as Territorial Waters not EEZ. This is due to the fact that Somalia felt that declaring those waters as EEZ was an infringement to its sovereignty.

A news report from 1967, sad nothing has changed since then.

Anyone interest in Somalia resources should check out this interview of Prof. Ali Aideed by Universal TV.
