Will the Türkiye-Somalia Oil and Gas Deal Be a Game Changer For the Horn of Africa?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 бер 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.

Its business interests don’t bring religion in to politics turkey pursuing economic national foriegn policy.
While Somalia needs security guarantees from turkey..
@@blaak23woah woah!!! If you think Erdogan is doing this solely for economical gains!! You need to read much about his biography and why he came in Mogadisho in 2012 when southern Somalia litterally had no hope!!!
🇸🇴🤝🇹🇷🇸🇴🙏🇹🇷
somali iyo turki waa walaalo 🇸🇴☝🇹🇷

That is true
güçlü Türkiye güçlü Somali demek, güçlü Somali güçlü Türkiye demek .
İnşaallah sırada Somalinin hava gücünü güçlendirmek olur ve iyi Somali pilotlar yetiştiririz.
Unutmamalıyızki Dünyada ilk afrikalı pilot Osmanlıdan çıktı.

Türkiye is following its interest no free lunch waryaa from Somalia 🇸🇴
as a somali i rather share goods with turkey than the arab countries turkey are brave hearted people and loyal patner
Yes 100%. Türkiye yes! Arabia hell no
Not all Arabs many of them helped us in hard days like Qatar, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia
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
We don’t want UAE to destroy Somalia
Great reverence and appreciation from Somalia to turkiye beloved and dear to our hearts 🇸🇴❤🇹🇷
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
Turkiye should protect the somalis hearts that trusted them. If it was another nation somalis would be protesting.
Its a win win for both countries 🇸🇴 🇹🇷
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.
I’m very much appreciated watching this video ! Thank you TRT for sharing this with us. 👍👍👍🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴❤️❤️❤️🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
We welcome our brothers turkey and we need their investment
We trust Turkey but we nothing to do with United Emirates and we don't see them near to our country
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.
Yes of course, it will be beneficial insha Allah.
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!
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.
98% of Somali people have faith and trust in the Turkish government and its people.
Allhın hidayetile, İnşaallah bu güveni boşa çıkarmayacağız.🇹🇷❤️🇸🇴
@@atillaakbulak3907🙏🤝🙌🙏🙏🙏
TAŞAKULAR TURKIYE 💯💖
Definitely it will be a game changer for both brotherly countries, Turkiyē 🇹🇷 and Somalia 🇸🇴.
We Trust Our Brothers Turkish Brother Not Only With Our Oil But With Our Whole Land , Sea & Life's .
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
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🇹🇷❣️
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❤❤❤
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.
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

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
Turkey and Somalia are closer than ever. We want other Arabian countries must respect that.
This is WIN WIN situation so far. SOMALIS know who's their friends and foe they're Very resilient people.

UAE should be taken to icj the wars happened in sudan and lybia and other countries its time a countries UAE distoroyed take to icJ Same way south Africa did to israel UAE is much worse crimes against humanity UAE commutied in yemen and other countries.
True, it's them who are inviting criminals to take advantage of their own 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 🫡
We are hostile to the rogue tiny sheikhdom of UAE and stand to protest its presence in somalia
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
Turkish 🇹🇷 people and their government thank you from the bottom of our hearts
Türkay and Somaliya ❤❤

As a Somali am very happy with this deal
Congratulations government of somalia keep going to both of you ❤️❤️❤️💯💯💯🥰🥰💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
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.
it is a win win for all sides
Excellent analysis
Yes to Turkey No to the West and China from Somalia
I can.t wait really to see this agreement any way good job
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.
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.
Somalia ❤Turkey 🇸🇴❤️🇹🇷

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

Turkey 🇹🇷 is a smart country. Turks are king and they ruled the continents for centuries
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

This will upset Arab oil producers.

Viva Republic of Somaliland

Long live Turkish President Tayib Urdogan ❤
UAE cant even help their brothers in Gaza how do you expect to help us Somalis? 😂
they wont never trust uea
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
I’m sure this guy is not the Turkish ambassador in Somalia what’ a game
We Somalis are more than pleased with Türkiye developing our oil and gas industry. Yes to Türkiye 🇹🇷 no to UAE
🇹🇷 Turkey never betrayed Muslim country but UAE and these Arabs can not be trusted at all .
I’m with Turkey till I die .
Somalia 🇸🇴 and Turkey 🇹🇷 have a long history of togetherness.
If Turkey wins Somalia wins .
somalia will chsnge with turkiye army power snd economic we are brother ❤❤❤❤❤❤
🇸🇴🫡🇹🇷🫡🦁🦁❤️☝🏽
Thank Turkish Government to support Somali
Everyone has an interest but unfortunately Somalia needs a partner like Türkiye at this point . I hope Hassan Sheikh gets better at his job and empowers Somalia to rally after Somali interests and not his pockets
Lie lie lie we support our president %100
