The same source said the government plans to build a rocket launch site in Somalia, a key Turkish security partner since 2011, which also hosts Turkey’s largest training base in the world.

Somalia isn’t a stranger for space enthusiasts: France also considered using the country to host a spaceport in the 1960s due to its close proximity to the equator, which makes it more suitable for rocket launches.

Serdar Huseyin Yildirim, the president of Turkish Space Agency, refused to comment on Somalia in an interview with BBC Turkish on 12 February, citing sensitive talks with the host country, which he wouldn’t name.

However, MEE's Turkish source said other alternatives such as Libya weren’t likely because Turkey had a greater influence in Somalia and it was scientifically more favourable.

The government’s draft calculations suggest establishing and maintaining the spaceport in Somalia would cost more than $350m.

Farmajoo is ex-president and this will happen after a few years, maybe in 2029

Somalia has so much potential, big land , untapped resources, small population.
it's sad that we can't get our act together.
we just need 10 yrs of uninterrupted peace and Somalia will change forever. I'm sure of it.

Farmajoo is ex-president. He can't sign anything. If Turkey is serious than they need to talk to Hassan and Sheikh Shariff because they rule the land and represent the people their.
