Turkey To Open Military Training Camp In Somalia

[Zarvan]

First Turkish military facility in Africa to be opened in Somalia

Turkey is set to open a military training facility that can train more than 1500 troops in the Somali capital Mogadishu.

Somali defense minister Abdirashid Abdullahi Mohamed said that the camp which had been under construction for the last two years will open this September, Hurriyet Daily News reported Friday.

“We will begin deploying soldiers to the facility. Our army and other forces will receive training at the camp,” he announced Thursday. The camp will help strengthen the Somali army, he added.

The facility - Turkey’s largest overseas military camp - is spread over 4 square kilometers and holds three military residential complexes and schools. More than 200 Turkish military personnel will come to the facility to train the Somali Armed Forces and provide security to the compound, the Turkish mission in Somalia said. Turkey opened its largest embassy in Mogadishu last year, to help the east African country fight drought. More than 6 million people - half of the country’s population - is facing severe drought and a cholera outbreak, which claimed at least 1,000 lives this year, according to the UN.

We want to see Somalian talents in TÜRKIYE.

 

[Pax Ottomana]

Nice. Turkey is investing a lot of time, money and people in Somalia's development, defense and stability. While I have a lot of sympathy for Somalia as it's a former-Ottoman sancak and we share some common heritage like religion, I hope that our investments there will be as beneficial to the Turkish people as they are to Somalians. Turks are a generous people but we have to EARN money too to be able to give it.

 

[Somali-Turk]

well,just to recap.
turksish company albayrak LLC operates the mogadishu international airport and the port of mogadishu as well there are many commercial dealings there.so i hope it is win win situation.

After Turkey everybody is coming to Somalia, Interesting.
Because of untapped natural resources perhaps?

 

[[TR]AHMET]

Turkey teach African how to fishing but other countries just coming for exploit their resources.

Turkey's steps will be broke all other countries systems, African will be resist them and this will be weakened US/EU.

Btw African people start to love Turkey which give us power at this continent.
