Ankara boosts military roles in Somalia

Turkey places great importance on extending the presence of its military forces in Somalia for an additional two years until July 2026, aimed at supporting Somalia’s security and combating terrorism, particularly the Al-Shabaab movement. This extension reflects Turkey’s long-term strategic plan to strengthen its political and military influence in the Horn of Africa, protect its economic investments, and address regional challenges, including tensions with Israel and threats from terrorist groups. This commitment comes as part of efforts to bolster relations with Somalia, expand its involvement in energy projects, and leverage the decline of American and French influence, thereby helping to establish a strategic foothold in the region.
