Why is Turkey extending its influence in Somalia? BBC Africa


Turkey has been trying to act as a mediator in the ongoing row between Somalia and Ethiopia. The escalating tensions in the Horn of Africa are as a result of a maritime deal that also affects Egypt. Turkey has been a long-time partner of Somalia but has also been investing in the country for more than a decade. A new naval deal signed this year…

The west should stop any weapons selling to Egypt and All Arabs for the sustainable peace security of Israel.

  2. I am Somali from London. I really love ❤️ Turkish people who support us when we need them. They can have some part of somalia, should they wish as if they are real brothers to us, and I trust and respect them ❤❤❤

  3. In an open secret that Ethiopia is one of the backers of Al – Shabab terror group. Ethiopia officially entered Somalia December 2006 on the pretext of helping Somalia . 2007 was first time we ever heard suicide bombing in Somalia. They deceptively incorporated UN mission in Somalia. Main reason the UN mission never achieved any thing over 24 years. Ethiopia’s real motivation was Somalia to remain fractured state. However, another motive is becoming more apparent which is to cease Bab-Al-Mandan on the Red Sea. Ethiopia is desperately trying to disguise this as access to the sea for economic and commercial purposes for its large population.
    However, this has been exposed when Ethiopia was offered sea ports by various nations in the region but Ethiopia declined it.

    This dangerous ambition will not only affect Somalia but entire Red Sea region.

  4. BBC The Voice of the Devil always wants to destroy and divide countries. It is hostile to the independence of countries. It wants to divide Somalia and support the Ethiopian occupation of the lands of the countries of the Horn of Africa.

  5. In Somalia's history, 2011 was the worst year for famine. Turkish forces arrived while fighting was going on throughout the capital city. No nation in the planet was aware of our predicament. Turkish government provide us with all we need, including food training, healthcare facilities, and education; they should be rewarded in all natural benefit relationships.
