  1. Turkey ambition in Africa is not your business BBC or UK business, concentrate in your hungry & homeless people & your care homes where people are park like commodities

  2. TURKEY HAS HIS HANDS BEHIND ITS BACK. RUSSIA HAS BEEN FOR A FREE AFRICA. ABLE TO DO BUSINESS FOR THRMSELVES. NOW AFRICA WILL DO AFRICA NOT LIKE THEY ARE UNDER COLONISISM APART FROM NIGERIA. EVERYONE WANT TO DO REAL BUSINESS

  3. I know many brilliant Turkish young men graduated from best universities and they chose to be a teacher in Turkish schools in Africa with very humble income…
    Those schools were opened much before Erdoğan coming to power

  4. One thing to mention as a Turkish citizen,
    Friendly sentiments towards Africa is found in the hearts of almost all Turkish people especially with religious ones. It is not fair to give all credits to Erdoğan.
    That Africa initiative was prepared by Abdullah Gül that when he was Foreign Minister,
    Also the Turkish schools were opened in Africa a decade before Erdoğan coming to power.
    African Brothers should not be thankful just to Erdoğan instead thankful to Allah almighty. He is the One who put this nice feelings to our hearts.

  5. Batının lüksü konforu afrikanın kanı ve göz yaşı üzerine kurulmuştur, yeni bir adil dünyayı türk devletleri ve afrikanın güzel insanlarıyla kuracağız,bunu rahatlıkla söylüyorum çünki afrika bizi tarihten bilir tanır,sömürgecilik hırsızlık gasp etmek yakmak yıkmak türklerin gen haritasında yok bizim tarihimiz böylesi milletlerle savaşmak mücadele etmekle sabittir,bu sebebten afrikaya başımız dik alnımız pak rahat gidebiliyoruz ve afrikada şüphe etmeden türkleri kucaklıyor

  6. I saw a documentary regarding the racism Turks of African descent face in Turkey. Naturally its more subtle than European racism, but still sad. People need to remember the Middle East was active in the slave trade too as well.

  7. I am Somali. Somalia and Turkey have a long historical relationship from 1520 to 2024 the Ottoman Empire and the Somali Adal Empire had commercial, military and diplomatic relations.

  8. The 100-year-old world order is now in transition. Do not be surprised by this. 100 years ago, Turks were in power in these lands, and 100 years from now, they will be so again. No one ruled justly like the Turks. A normal African knows how France exploited the people and lands in Africa, and so do we. Turks are not like that. Europe is a state that applies double standards. Embargo on Russia, but all opportunities are open to Israel. The African also sees this. Africa has a revenge from the past against European states because Europeans only exploited them. Turks are not like that.
