ROTHSCHILD INTEREST IN SOMALILAND

Somaliland is the semi-autonomous region north of Somalia. Genel Energy has interests in Somaliland.
Genel Energy was created in 2011 as a result of the reverse acquisition of Turkish Genel Enerji by Tony Hayward led investment company Vallares.[1] Vallares was set up by Tony Hayward, financier Nat Rothschild and banker Julian Metherell.[1] Genel Enerji was controlled by Mehmet Emin Karamehmet through Çukurova Group (56%) and Mehmet Sepil's family (44%). In 2009, Genel Enerji planned merger with Heritage Oil; however, the deal subsequently collapsed.[3]
