Turkish warship docks in Somalia’s coastline

The implementation of the defense deal between Somalia and Turkey has kicked off, following Ankara’s decision to dispatch a warship which has since docked along Mogadishu Port, in the country’s mineral-rich coastline which is yet to be fully explored. The Kınalıada F514 ship docked at Mogadishu Sea Port on Tuesday, two months after President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud signed the pact, which irked the United Arab Emirates (UAE), since it had also signed a similar agreement with Somalia…Somali Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre addressed members of the cabinet in February and said that under the agreement, Turkey will build, train, and equip the Somali navy.
