I'm not surprised by this development. The relationship between the Turks and Somalis goes back centuries. Somalis have always viewed Turkiye and her predecessor, the Ottoman empire, favourably, and I'm absolutely certain that this relationship will benefit everyone involved in the long term.

[@Caalim]

This is one of the best agreements the Somali government has ever signed. As the reporter emphasized, Turkey is the only country tirelessly engaged in helping and doing business with Somalia after everyone else has abandoned it. The maritime security deal is well thought out: 30% of the blue economy in exchange for training and equipping modern naval forces is like a gift. Somalia's coast and exclusive economic zone have long been dumped with radioactive waste and harvested by foreign ships, with illegal overfishing happening regularly. One UN report suggests that $300 million is lost annually in Somalia due to illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing. Foreign vessels sometimes engage in dynamite fishing, which damages local marine resources, affects the livelihoods of local fishermen, and diverts funds away from Somalia's economic development. In conclusion, Somalia stands to benefit significantly from this agreement, with minimal risk. The generosity displayed by Turkey in accepting this deal is both substantial and praiseworthy.

30% for the Turks is a good deal for Somalia, and offsets the cost of maintaining a costly naval presence in Somali waters for Turkey. The strong maritime security in turn will allow for the proliferation of oil and gas projects, as well as the establishment of a Blue Economy. This has the potential to yield hundreds of billions of dollars for the Somali economy, and with a population of 18 million, the country could be lifted out of poverty in a single generation, and the government will have the funds to maintain its own large navy and merchant fleet like before the war, when the Somali merchant fleet was the largest in the Islamic world. 70% of something is better than 100% of nothing.

Considering that Turkey is guaranteeing Somali independence in all but name by rearming them and training up their army to what I understand is NATO standard training, 30% of the revenue going to Turkey seems like a terrific deal and the deal is bound to be reviewed in 10 years time anyway so there is very little that Somalia can lose here.

[@stefanpieper3757]

Whats your take on the deal that Somaliland made?

[@DrGrove]

@@stefanpieper3757 It's worse in every way, Somaliland is not recognized by anyone, so Ethiopia is taking advantage of this by only "pledging" to recognize them. They can basically withdraw from that promise at any time with very little consequence while they reap all the rewards of having sea access through Somaliland. Furthermore, in the long run, Somalia benefits from its deal with Turkey because its economy will improve by developing its offshore natural gas fields, enriching them immensely and benefiting them from rearmament and army training from a NATO country. It takes no genius to recognize that a full blockade of Somaliland will happen within the coming years and perhaps more optimistically a reconquest of the territory in a way similar to how the Azeris did with Nagorno-Karabakh. The Azeri were aided immensely by Turkey as well.

[@romanhama5377]

Not true, as a ethnicity that were part of the Ayyubid empire and Ottoman I can reassure that is not the case. The Ottoman ruled with tyranny, and were only muslims on the paper, not a single sultan ever visited Mecca Medina. Everyone revolted against them, and they were crushed merciless just like the colonies of Africa when the West invaded. But finally they got weakened after WWI and ALL of the colonies revolted and got independence, apart from Kurdistan who was betrayed after helping the Ottoman power in Anatolia rebuild a new country, Turkey. Instead of rewarding them for their help against the British and French they invaded Kurdistan, massacred the population and stole the land and it's oil with the help of the British after the secular Turks joined hands with the west gaining access to warplanes and banned Kurds from practising their language, culture and worshiping Allah. Hoping to join the West, but they never got in to EU and now they pretend to be Muslims again and steal your oil too. For a person that has history with Turks over 1000 years as neighbours, let me say that you should be careful in cooperation, one day they could say Somalians don't exist, they are desert Turks and Somalia don't exist it's a dream, imaginary country, where is it?

[@ahobby]

Turkiye is different. Your theory on the involvement of Ethiopia is an American mentality. Turkiye welcomes Ethiopia in economic access in Somaliland, just like Somalia does, with Turkish mediation of course. This is beneficial for the region. It's a way to keep the peace and have people respect each other and be willing to grow together, instead of being divided and conquered (Remember the colonialists!!!). It's important to keep the colonial mindset away. Peace and bolstering unity is the only way forward. If a reliable partner who worked with you for hundreds of years can help you with that, trust them, instead of those that have been usurping your resources without benefit to the region for the past century.

[@mohmmettelgabanow9129]

Ethiopia and Somalia have long history of conflict and war based on religion and land. It is not easy for Turkey to settle down that enmity; in contrast, because of the crazy ambition of Ethiopia to annex part of the land and sea from Somalia, allow Somalia to make an agreement of 10 years with Turkey to train the Somali navy and also to protect Somali coastal areas in any other foreign country for the benefit of 30% of Maritain revenue. If Ethiopia tries to get access without the permission of Somalia, it means it violated the territorial integrity of Somalia, so Turkey has no position to welcome that oppression. If it does, the agreement is going to terminate automatically.
