Wall Africa Journal | Somalia wants to sign a massive defense agreement with Türkiye

What no one has mentioned here is how the US will react. They literally had the defence minister sacked for his ties to turkey and said they’d even reconsider support against AS if the government didn’t. This is a major shift in geopolitical events, the UAE also isn’t gonna let HSM do this they’re gonna go all out on trying to save their influence and the US doesn’t want turkey in Somalia either. Only people I see happy are Qatar and turkey, but I’d prefer them to the UAE and our partnership with the US hasn’t been fruitful at all.
they will certainly try to recognise somaliland or uae is trying to make trump to do it, erdogan had good relations with trump so he needs to persuade them not to
 
For those who think this is bad, foreign interventions got us here so you can bet I'm willing to witness just one last foreign intervention that is finally in our interests that will get us out of the current state.
No, it’s because Masjid Cali Guduud was vacated and Somali nation army was destroyed by culusow. Nobody can be trusted in Konfur as a result so now foreign forces are needed. Stop the cap.

Pure incompetence, I rather have muslim Turks then AU troops, same religion, a vested interest that the SNA troops learn and are capable.

No foreign government has a vested interest in a strong SNA except really the US/West and they tried and failed because of corruption.

Turkey is in Somalia for business and bases. A strong SNA will erode their position. They want to make sure SNA it is just strong enough to keep their assets safe but no stronger than that.

That was what I was implying, they probably don't want their elite troops in any danger in a foreign country, either way FGS is in a pretty crappy position due to lack of leadership.

The unfortunate problem I foresee is that once they leave SNA will just return to incompetence and be destroyed. Turks or any other babysitter can’t stay forever. Once you stop taking your medicine the disease just comes back.

Not only that but if you see your leaders stealing and looting everyday and not giving a shit about your country will you willingly fight and die for them for a few hundred a month? That has to be part of the equation too.

Either that or another coup, if there is a competent military leader, he will either hide until he can amass power or will get assassinated.

The same US/west that didn't support Siyad Barre properly after he was backstabbed by the Soviets?

The same US/West that listened to Meles Zenawi who saw the SNA as a threat and rejected Turkeys idea of fully arming and building a strong SNA from the start instead of all these Amisom mercenaries?

The same US/West that protects Israels, and prevents any strong Muslim military nation arising that can confront Israel and US interests?

Anyways, I dont know what to expect. In a dream world, we find oil and Turkey helps build our SNA and we rebuild our country with all its glory. However, in this cutthroat world things could flip with Turkey becoming frustrated and getting tired of Somali politicians incompetence and corruption, and in turn disengaging from state building initiatives leaving the SFG isolated again.

The international community is keeping us handicapped and we are not free to do as we please. If HSM was smart he would've replaced all the Amisom gaalo troops /bases including Ethiopians with Turkish/Egyptians/Azerbaijan/Pakistani with a goal of securing the whole country within 5 years and also disarming the whole southern population and controlling illegal arms entering the country.

Solving things militarily though is the least of our problems. The biggest issue in Somalia is political cohesion and stability, and how serious those in charge are in wanting to change their situation.

Just a whole load of histortical revision and blame shifting.

Since 2012 they were invested in FGS and SNA you bringing up old history to try and bury the fact that the prime fault lies with the powerful interest groups in the FGS.

No one wants anymore excuses from failed FGS supporters.

Barre was backed by the USA throughout the 80s until 1990 though. :cosbyhmm:
 
Under the agreement, a joint military base will be established in the middle Shabelle region, and the Somali army will be fully integrated into the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK), with military training agreements made with other countries being canceled.


▪️ It is expected that Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud will declare a state of emergency upon his return to the country.


📌 Additionally, Somalia is requesting the deployment of Turkish special forces to the region and the transfer of defense systems to the country.
