Will the Türkiye-Somalia Oil and Gas Deal Be a Game Changer For the Horn of Africa?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 гру 2024
- Turkiye is strengthening its presence in the Horn of Africa, as over the span of a month the nation made two deals with Somalia in the areas of defence and energy. This comes at a time of growing tensions in the region, as the US and UK keep retaliating against Houthi rebel attacks on commercial ships in the Red Sea. But Somalia is also against a controversial Ethiopan-led port deal, one that's had the country seek assistance from Ankara to support its maritime security.
But the latest deal between the two nations is about oil and natural gas exploration in Somalia's land and sea blocks. The Turkish energy minister and his Somali counterpart signed the agreement in Ankara. Turkiye, has long provided financial and humanitarian support to Somalia, where it has a military facility it gives training to the Somali army. Ankara also supports Mogadishu in its dispute with landlocked Ethiopia, as Addis Ababa had signed a deal with Somalia's breakaway region of Somaliland, which will give it access to the sea. While Somalia's parliament has approved the defence and economic cooperation agreement with Turkiye, a security deal with the United Arab Emirates is yet to be ratified since last year.

We will not forget Turkiye specially the current president Mr Erdogan Allah save you and all Turkish people 🇹🇷🤝🇸🇴❤🥰

Its business interests don’t bring religion in to politics turkey pursuing economic national foriegn policy.
While Somalia needs security guarantees from turkey..

Türkiye is following its interest no free lunch waryaa from Somalia 🇸🇴
Its a win win for both countries 🇸🇴 🇹🇷
When the Ottoman empire was in the Horn of Africa, Somali people were united in all its territories and they were formidable forces to defend their religion and land against Portugal supported christian expansionist Abyssinians who wanted to reach the Red Sea. The return of ottoman sons and daughters ( Turkish people) to this region and most importantly to the world stage is a great news not only to Somalia but the rest of the Islamic world.
Stop the cap mf. The Ottoman Empire never reached past berbera.
During the Ottoman Empire era, Somalis had limited interaction among themselves. Only those residing in the same areas, such as Zeila, Bulahar, and Berbera - strategic routes under Ottoman influence - were aware of each other. Communication and commerce flourished mainly between Somalilanders, Somali Ethiopians, and the Majerteen or Harti clans, sometimes leading to conflicts.
At that time, knowledge of distant regions like Mogadishu or Kismayo was scarce. People only knew of Somalis belonging to certain tribes residing in those areas. Even as late as the close of the 1960s, residents of Somaliland and Mogadishu had limited interaction and often remained unfamiliar with each other.
Actually Turkey got involved in the slave trade in adal Zeyla
They used to take oromo children to the middle to pay for the war
It’s a facts
@@shabeel7467What triggered you Ethiopian bot? SOMALia and Turkiye will continue their cooperation, whether you like it or not 🇸🇴🇹🇷🇸🇴🇹🇷🇸🇴🇹🇷🇸🇴🇹🇷🇸🇴🇹🇷🇸🇴🇹🇷🇸🇴🇹🇷🇸🇴🇹🇷🇸🇴🇹🇷🇸🇴🇹🇷🇸🇴🇹🇷🇸🇴🇹🇷🇸🇴🇹🇷🇸🇴🇹🇷🇸🇴🇹🇷🇸🇴🇹🇷🇸🇴🇹🇷🇸🇴🇹🇷🇸🇴🇹🇷🇸🇴🇹🇷.
Long life turkiya u are in our heart❤ wlhi we love i so much
As a somali the uae is not welcome in somalia and they should stay away from somalia .somalis everywhere have one brother and that is TURKIYE.
Take it easy brother my opinion was the same as yours until i went to Turkey and discovered they are racist and Turkish migration detain for long periods up to 9 months then deport Somali asylum seekers without exceptions including women, minors, sick eldery people while in the other hand Eritrea and Djibouti citizens don't get deported from Turkey even if they are illegal or tried to exit Turkey illegally double stranders
Great reverence and appreciation from Somalia to turkiye beloved and dear to our hearts 🇸🇴❤🇹🇷
The best deal mutual benefit for both As Djiboutian 🇩🇯 we are glad to see Somalia and turkiye deal. Somalians, the only country can be trusted is Turkiye 🇹🇷 that what they say when it come there oil and gas
Tabiki karşılıklı fayda sağlanmalı yoksa biz Türklerin,eski halife olarak müslümanların gözünde imajı yerle bir olur. Lanetlediğimiz Sömürgeci Batılılardan hiçbir farkımız kalmaz.
Allah çok şükür tarihimizde sömürgecilik yok.
Yeah, you're right win win situation good for both country.
UAE wants to stop Somalia to stand on it's feet because of two reason:-
1. Occupation of it's ports for strategic commercial reasons.
2. Blocking to have oil & gas because of greediness reasons.
Yes of course, it will be beneficial insha Allah.
Turkiye should protect the somalis hearts that trusted them. If it was another nation somalis would be protesting.
We don’t want UAE to destroy Somalia
Definitely it will be a game changer for both brotherly countries, Turkiyē 🇹🇷 and Somalia 🇸🇴.
We welcome our brothers turkey and we need their investment
Somalia, people and the government have full confidence with Turkish cooperation! I believe that significant progress will be made in the near future. There is not much interest in the region, the brokering of the UAE and the stagnation of Western companies that have not made any significant progress in the African continent! Of course, Somalia is a virgin country, in terms of natural resources such as oil, fish and tourism, and the competition is open and the doors are open for investment!
I’m very much appreciated watching this video ! Thank you TRT for sharing this with us. 👍👍👍🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴❤️❤️❤️🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
We trust Turkey but we nothing to do with United Emirates and we don't see them near to our country
My allah bless turkey. My dad worked at the turkish embassy in muqdisho. He said the turkish military was the most professional people. Long live turkey🇹🇷❣️
My forefathers ajuran empire has ties with ottoman empire. I feel good to witness the return of turkish influence specially in muslim world.
may allah bless Somalia with peace and prosperity.
Turkish 🇹🇷 people and their government thank you from the bottom of our hearts
Turkey has become a close ally of the Somali government. It has built schools, hospitals and infrastructure and provided scholarships for Somalis to study in Turkey.
Somali people they don't see Turkey as a foreign country, the surprise thing is even the girls dress Turkey flag when going wedding, concerts or party
Turkey, Somalis are brothers we can share our Somali resources. It is ok and I hope all Somalis must understand what is going on so having a big brother that you trust to help you out during this difficult time.
Qardaas Tursdhish, is not my brother .
yese ❤❤ somalia turkiye❤❤q
TAŞAKULAR TURKIYE 💯💖
I welcome this move, oil will not be black gold forever as the world moves towards clean energy, it’s imperative we start exporting it within this decade
UAE is the greatest enemy of the Muslim nations as Sudanese conflicts liibiya Somalia disturbed but we hope from the our brothers Turkish will defend all Muslim nation from the enemies and fallowers as the UAE etc so we welcome our brothers Turkish people’Erdogan we hope long life Allah bless him and his country both
Yes
UAE is White people friend and super wealthy.
No
They are not like that brother
UAE is the greatest enemy of Africans. They have no respect.
Somalia has better land than any Arab nation. Somalia has thr longers coast in Africa, its has dessert, wild life, small islands and rivers that connects to the ocean. You dont need to build dake Island and rivers on that land. The potential is huge. Every beach can turn into a city.
Turkey and Somalia are closer than ever. We want other Arabian countries must respect that.
Much love
🇹🇷 🇸🇴
Somalia don’t want anything to do with United emirates Arab, they work for Israel we don’t want United Emirates Arabs nowhere near Somalia. We love Turkey, the true Muslim Brothers of Turkey. Everybody can see what’s happening around the world. We don’t want nothing to do with United Emirates or any Arab nations. We don’t want nothing to do with them we only love Turkey, Turkey, long live. Insha Allah🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇹🇷🇸🇴🇹🇷🇸🇴🇹🇷🇸🇴🇹🇷🇸🇴🇹🇷🇸🇴🇹🇷🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
Waaruuntha
Sax, Turkey is honest but UAE is a snake 🐍🐍 with 8 faces!
You do know that Turkey recognize Isreal as counrty.
Long life Turkey.
@mustafaabdullahi8176😮 What's wrong with that? You would be crazy not to recognize a nuclear nation that is also recognized by Russia, China, and Cuba.
Practicality most countries recognize Israel, but that doesn't mean they agree with their policy and support everything.
You are so quick to judge Turkey, maybe because you are Kurd or Greek, but Turkey cannot act radical, they have too much at stake.
They live on top of a seismic region that has cursed them for centuries, destroying buildings and killing people, ruining their economy and forced to rebuild.
They have natural wealth and only depend on their brain and their industries.
98% of Somali people have faith and trust in the Turkish government and its people.
Allhın hidayetile, İnşaallah bu güveni boşa çıkarmayacağız.🇹🇷❤️🇸🇴
@@atillaakbulak3907🙏🤝🙌🙏🙏🙏
We Trust Our Brothers Turkish Brother Not Only With Our Oil But With Our Whole Land , Sea & Life's .
We will not forget Turkey allah seve you
Somalia need to kick out US and French entity in their land. Start cooperation with Russia, China and other Muslim nations
And the Somalis get out of Minnesota to st Petersburg
@@BBZoneasembotop10 Do it. Nobody want US anymore.
They will once the dollar falls 😂
We are hostile to the rogue tiny sheikhdom of UAE and stand to protest its presence in somalia
Turkiye won hearts and minds somalia should be non NATO ALLY becouse largest african communities living north america and europe came from somalia friend in need is a friend indeed somalis no longer ingratitude viva turkiye!!
As a Somali am very happy with this deal
This is great news wish Turkiye and Somali more success in economic bilateral trade including defence relations to bring stability and make their defence force stronger.
Long leave Turkiye 🇹🇷 our true brother's and sisters. Some Arab countries showed their true color and face when they heard about the military and economic ties between Somalia 🇸🇴 and Turkey 🇹🇷. All haters can plan their hateful deads but Allah is the best planner. Insha Allah Ta'aLaah we will both prosper and help the Muslim ☪️ Umah around the globe 🌎. Amiin Ya Rabi Rahman.
somslian army will be very soon very strong with all kinf of new tecnology i love my brothers from turkiye❤❤❤
There is no need to trust the Arab nations including Egypt which is a sellout
This is WIN WIN situation so far. SOMALIS know who's their friends and foe they're Very resilient people.
One suggestion to my somali 🇸🇴 people, do not welcome UAE to our land, do not, not now not forever, we’re Somalian and we’re the only one who’ll fix our land, we got Allah beside us, Turkey 🇹🇷 respect 🫡
🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yes, it will improve the socio-econmic development of the Somali people. As we know Somalia has been in chaos for long time but now it came back to the international community .
When the Oil and gas deal be implemented, we wil see a game changer economically and the security will improve as well. Let see and wait!!. Insha Allah.
Turkish are somalis and somalis are turkish !!!.
Nah there's nothing like that buddy stop what you are smoking 🚭
Qadaadweyn maangaab sida caruurtay khiyaali isku maaweelisaa 🤣😂.
Turkish are Turkish, and Somalis are 🤔 hmm, not Turkish?
Inferiority complex.... you think a Turkish can say that....only a desperate somali
somalia turkiye ❤❤❤❤ long live 2 country 1 nation ❤❤❤
Our parliament unanimously approved the bilateral agreement between Türkiye 🇹🇷 and Somalia 🇸🇴 that shows you how much we trust Türkiye 🇹🇷 to protect our coastline and explore our natural resources gas and oil
Somalia and turkiya has more 300 friendships and Will respect Turkiya for helping Somalia 🇸🇴 Türkiye 🇹🇷 thank you 🙏
Alhamdullillaah for our Turkish Brothers, Alhamdullillaah for president Erdogan, May Allah grant him Janutal Firdows, Aamiin.
Yes it will
I can.t wait really to see this agreement any way good job
Hope Somalia prospers Soon❤ Love From India 🇮🇳
Current Mogadishu govt.offerd turkiye a naval base.granted Egypt to deploy forces.on the other way declared war on Ethiopia not to access red sea.what a madness is this?
People forget Somalia had close ties with Turkish and Iran for centuries. This old friendship been rekindled
Viva Turkia ❤
Good afternoon President Edrogan and President Hassan ❤️🇸🇴🇹🇷🦾😇👋
Turkiye Somalia deal is a win win situation. 🇸🇴🇹🇷🇸🇴🇹🇷
i Love somali we are brothers greetings from Türkiye
Also the guy failed to Mention the huge On shore Oil reserves in the Ogaden basin in the Somali state currently being occupied by Ethiopia. It’s called Obale oil fields, Shilabo oil fields and higlale oil fields all with billions of tons of barrels of oil and natural gas(CNG) it’s already drilled and developed by the Chinese but the project was shelved after the Somali state liberation fighters attacked one of the oil fields killing 9 Chinese scientists and 78 Ethiopian soldiers. The main reason Ethiopia wants access to Somaliland port is to export the Ogaden/Somali state oil and natural gas due to its proximity to the Somaliland port which is abt 150-200 Km to the Somali state oil fields
Türkay and Somaliya ❤❤
Yes to Turkey No to the West and China from Somalia
The gender of news today was much nice..we want see change from somalia natural resources.goverment also should be stable
The country needs one million skilled people from turkey to emigrate in to Somali especially like a Doctor’s Farmers and engineers indeed
Golden county 🇸🇴 Somalia guuleyso
Excellent analysis
it is a win win for all sides
The entire Turkish people should move to Somalia 🇸🇴, long Turkeye 🇹🇷
Why?
❤❤❤ turkiye snd somalia together brother
This people are soo naïve
Somalia ❤Turkiye 🇸🇴❤️🇹🇷
Africa need to diverse it partners. Monopolies of yankees, french and GB need to stop
So far,the turkish presence in somalia was at large . I can say It's win win situation for both countries to fulfill that deals
From day 1, Turkey's intention was to get access to the natural resources of Somalia
Nothing wrong with that as long as both parties benefit
Excuse me who are you when you are talking about our interests or our relations

The Only Country Somalia can trust all over the World is TURKIYE....And Turkiye knows well and Somalis Knows well...
Also remember, even if Turkiye utilises Somalia resources without giving back a cent, we Somalis proud and do hold responsible as long as they maintain the real brotherhood principles and stick root connection.
Forward Turkiye and welcome,Somalia Resources are your resources.
