Turkey is forming a close bond with Ethiopia

Reer N&N on suicide watch; nabi erdogan forms pact with itoobiya



Ertugul box sets are burning as we speak and the spit and cobwebs holding erdogans ummah has disappeared. It's only a moment till the cancerous YouTube comments spamming the Turkish flag shall disappear.


On the economic front, bilateral trade grew by $200 million to reach $650 million in the past two years, according to Turkey’s ambassador to Ethiopia, Yaprak Alp. Turkish investments in Ethiopia have reached $2.5 billion, ranking second only to China, with some 200 Turkish companies employing 30,000 people in the country, according to Alp.

Following speculation that Turkey might offer radar and missile systems to guard the Renaissance Dam, sources from Ethiopia’s Tigray region (the scene of an escalating conflict between rebel forces and the federal government) claimed in July that Ankara had supplied 10 drones to Addis Ababa and a runway was being built near the capital to use the drones. The claims have yet to be independently confirmed, but the Turkish Embassy has denied any drone deliveries to Ethiopia.

Ankara is well aware that any direct Turkish involvement in the dam crisis or the Tigray conflict will cost it a permanent fallout with Egypt and Sudan. Despite an ambivalent posture that keeps Cairo and Khartoum uneasy, Ankara’s moves in Ethiopia have been much more cautious and restrained than its ventures in Libya and Syria.

When a special envoy of Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed met with Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu in Ankara in July 2020, many took this as a sign that Turkey was siding with Ethiopia in the dam row. Some Turkish media, meanwhile, claimed that the envoy had asked Ankara to mediate in the dispute. And in March, a Turkish official said Ankara was ready to mediate talks on the dam.

Ethiopia, however, has said little on the issue, even though it has been open to Turkish mediation in its border dispute with Sudan. Moreover, the mediation claims came at a time when Ankara lacked any leverage for such a mission, for its diplomatic dialogue with Cairo had not yet begun and its ties with Khartoum were still mired in uncertainty. The normalization process with Egypt has made little progress since then, meaning that Ankara still lacks the ground to mediate. Egypt and Sudan have sought international intervention, including through the Arab League and the UN Security Council, while Ethiopia insists that the African Union should continue to mediate the dispute.

Lesson to be learned for somalis and especially to those who pander to them. Sovereign nations only act for their interests. Turkey has seen something that could benefit them and have seized the opportunity.


This move will not alienate somalis and somalis will remain staunch turkish supporters. Turkey has too much power in Somalia and also Somalia benefits a lot from Turkey

Only a matter of time we turn on Turkey. They’re actions lately have been counterproductive. Somalia is a natural ally of its Arab neighbours and we’ve fractured that for Turkey. We will need Egypt, Sudan and the Gulf in the long run, as well as America. Turkey is isolated and has an uncertain future

Turkey has supplied us weapons and is training our soldiers at the moment. Currently they are beneficial to us, but as you said, long term Somalias dependence on them is not good. Turkey could have economic recession any minute nowadays. Somalia needs to jump ship and we need to prepare for it
