Turkey establishes presence at a Somali base after US withdrawal

Türkiye ·

Reports say a new infrastructure project would expand military cooperation between Turkey and Somalia, at a time when the presence of US and African Union forces around the Balidogle area is expected to shrink.

Turkey has expanded its military ties with Somalia since roughly 2010, including training Somali forces and operating a base in Mogadishu, while US and African Union forces have also deployed in the country to fight al-Shabaab.
