February 28, 2016 By administrator

1033166368At least 40 people were killed and 70 others injured in two bombings in southcentral Somalia on Sunday, media reported.

According to the CNN network, the incident took place in the town of Baidoa. One of the attacks was carried out by a suicide bomber at a restaurant, while the other one was a car bomb explosion near a pharmacy.

The al-Shabaab militant group has reportedly claimed responsibility for the attack.

On Friday, al-Shabaab reportedly carried out a car bomb explosion followed by gunfire in the Somali capital of Mogadishu, killing an unknown number of people.

Al-Shabaab is al-Qaeda’s affiliate in Somalia, fighting to overthrow the country’s internationally recognized government.

Terrorist State of Turkey Military expansion from Qatar to Mosul to Somalia

January 18, 2016 By administrator

851ccbda-3047-4e3b-b3ec-9f8353ca6b51Ankara has started to build a military base in Somalia to train soldiers from African countries to fight against al-Qaeda-affiliated al-Shabab militants, a report says.

In a Monday report, Turkish newspaper Daily Sabah cited military sources as saying that based on an agreement between the Turkish and Somali governments, over 1,500 Somali troops will be trained by 200 Turkish military officers at the base, being established in Somalia’s capital Mogadishu.

Emil Tekin, an official from the Turkish Foreign Ministry said last week that the “military training center will also be an important base to provide military training to all of Africa.”

Tekin added that the Turkish army is also planning to build a military school in Somalia to train officers.

Since 2006, Somalia has witnessed deadly clashes between government forces and al-Shabab militants, who say they aim to overthrow the government in the African state.

The militants have been pushed out of Mogadishu and other major cities in Somalia by government forces and the soldiers of the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM), which is largely made up of troops from Uganda, Ethiopia, Burundi, Djibouti, Kenya and Sierra Leone.

Last month, Turkey announced plans to construct its first overseas military base in Qatar following an agreement signed between the two countries. The base is expected to accommodate 3,000 soldiers.

Three Turkish construction workers were injured during a rocket attack on the Turkish Embassy in the Somali capital of Mogadishu on April 10.

Rockets were fired at the embassy, which is currently under construction. The Turkish ambassador to Somalia, Kani Torun said no organization has been linked with the attack.

Another building in front of the Turkish Embassy in Mogadishu was attacked in July last year. The attack killed one Turkish police officer and injured three people.

The injured Turkish nationals, Muhammed Yakup Saraç, 25, Recep Keskin, 51, and Necdet Adsız, 52, were brought to the Turkish capital of Ankara via air ambulance April 11 and transferred to Atatürk Training and Research Hospital.

The father of Saraç, who made a statement to the press in front of the hospital, thanked Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan for transferring his son from Somali.
