Somalia: Türkische Militärbasis
(04.10.2017)
Defense One berichtet, in Somalia sei eine türkische Militärbasis errichtet worden: „The $50 million base was opened on Saturday (Sept. 30) and will train more than 10,000 soldiers. […] By setting shop in Somalia, Turkey has become the latest country to set up a military facility in the horn of Africa nation. The United States runs clandestine operations from a base in the Lower Shabelle region, while the United Arab Emirates is expected to build a base in the self-declared region of Somaliland. […] The military base in Somalia is also a reminder that despite Turkey’s growing regional and national problems, Africa remains central to its global expansion strategy.” (jw)
