In a recent seminar titled ‘Turkey-Somalia Relations in Light of Global Developments’ held in Ankara, Burhaneddin Duran, Turkey’s Communications Director, emphasized the deepening ties between Turkey and Somalia since 2005, driven by Ankara’s proactive engagement with Africa.<\/p>\n
Duran firmly stated that any plans undermining Somalia’s sovereignty, unity, or territorial integrity are unacceptable. He reiterated Turkey’s unwavering support for Somalia, declaring that the country would never turn a blind eye to attempts aimed at fragmenting Somalia and would stand resolutely by its principles.He expressed clear opposition to any Israeli initiatives aimed at recognizing Somaliland, asserting that Turkey will not allow Israel to transfer its genocidal actions in Palestine and other regional aggressions to the Horn of Africa.<\/p>\n
Duran further reinforced Turkey’s commitment to supporting Somalia’s sovereignty, territorial integrity, and unity, insisting that the fate of the Horn of Africa should be determined by peace and stability, not external dictates.Recently, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s illegal recognition of the self-proclaimed Somaliland as an independent entity has provoked widespread anger among various nations and Somalia’s central government.<\/p>\n
Israeli media previously revealed negotiations between Tel Aviv and Somaliland to establish a military base in the self-declared region. Channel 12 reported that secret talks are underway to create an Israeli military installation in Somaliland, which could provide significant strategic benefits for Israel, particularly in its military and security confrontations with Yemen and Iran.The geographical positioning of Somaliland with its extensive coastline near the Gulf of Aden and proximity to Yemen makes it a strategic asset for Tel Aviv.<\/p>\n
Analysts view Israel’s maneuvers in Somaliland as a means to bolster its presence in the Horn of Africa especially given Somaliland’s location along the critical maritime routes of the Indian Ocean and the Red Sea which have gained vital importance amid ongoing regional crises and heightened tensions in essential waterways.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
