Turkey, Somalia Expand Cooperation, Ankara's Ship Arrives for Oil & Gas Exploration | Firstpost Africa

Turkey's seismic research vessel Oruç Reis arrived on the Somalian coast to begin searching for oil and gas on Friday. It was officially inaugurated by Somalia's President Hassan Sheikh Mohamoud during a welcome ceremony. This comes after the two nations inked an agreement in March this year that granted Turkey's state oil firm exclusive rights to explore and produce hydrocarbons in three blocks in Somalia, covering 15,000 square kilometres. Experts see Ankara's move as more of a political one, rather than commercial. Just like all major players, Ankara is now also seeking to expand its influence in Africa. It is competing with major powers like Russia, China, the US, and former colonial ruler France for a foothold. Will Turkey emerge as the next big player in Africa? Watch the video for more.

You don't understand turkiye they are not interested in taking over the country you forget it's Muslim country and that is the difference between Russia and China ....we help our Somalia brothers and sisters for both countries to strive

As a Somali, I couldn’t keep watching because of your "expert" that guy is clueless. Turkey gave Somalia one of the best deal. We had other oil companies, including American ones, but we cancelled their contracts (ironically, they tried to exploit us). Turkey has been fair to Somalis, offering deals that doesn't entrap us like china and western countries did to many African countries. We appreciate them and plan to trade and buy military equipment from them in the future

Somalia city municipalities must immediately purchase brand new turkish public buses, Fiat Egea cars, Ford cars being built in Turkey at affordsable prices, agricultural goods, fill Somalia with Turkish medical doctors, dentists, advocates, business administrators, bankers asap to become developed African nation. Tourism and hospitality sector is developed in Turkey with all you can eat open buffet 5 star hotels operating 12 months per year. Enka Construction Inc, Limak Construction inc, Ronesans Holding Inc are very developed and very rich construction companies getting their richnesses from Russia construction businesses for 40 years time.

Boşuna Türkiye'yi kıskanmaya ve karalamaya çalışmayın.
Somaliye ve halkına iyi niyetle yardım ve işbirliği yapan diğer ülkeleri Türkiye engellemiyor.
Somali bağımsız bir ülkedir ve Türkiye, Somali'nin çıkarlarına yarar sağlayacak diğer ülkelerle hiçbir anlaşmalara karşı çıkmıyor.

First post do your homework first before spewing nonsense! " Somalia is not an easy geography to find oil in " ? Name the expert source who said that! It's misinformation what you say. Oil is discovered already!

Turkiye Somalia relationship dates back to ancient times not just 2011 when they stood with their brothers which reminded us who our true brothers and solidified Turkiye Somalia brotherhood

why do you interview a Nigerian person about Somali affairs, Nigeria is not also an east African country, what this guy is talking about is not relevant to our actual context, he is only talking about the general context. and as we know Nigeria is the biggest Oil export in Africa and their envy and jealosy is visible in his approach. whether you like it or not Somalia will produce oil.

the relationship didn't start 2011 it dates back all the way to the Ottomans and now it coming back to life. as a Somali we feel it's win win for both sides and we have high expectations from this project.

Tell the Nigerian Turkiyē 🇹🇷 and Somalia 🇸🇴 have been brothers since the 15th century the times of Sultan Suleiman the magnificent. And Turkiyē gave Somalia a shoulder when the Somalis needed. Somali resources are Turkish and Turkish resources have been for Somalia even at the disposal of the Ajuuraan Somali empire❤.
