Turkish companies have completed more than 1,800 projects worth $85 billion in Africa. While the footprint of China, Russia and the US are commonly discussed, Ankara seems to have slipped below the radar. What is President Erdogan's plan in Africa? Palki Sharma tells you.

Africa is grateful for partnership with Türkiye leaders by Mr Erdogan. He comes to do business in infrastructure and security,he does not lecture us about marriage laws etc. Turkiye just completed building a business centre in Congo,many locals worked alongside Turkish partners and picked up skills in infrastructure. Congo is also fighting rebels and the drones provided by Turkey is helping bring security and stability to the country. Turkey has built world class Airports and Stadiums in Africa for our youths to showcase their talents. This is the partnership yielding tangible results,unlike the West and their lectures, empty promises and colonial hangover.
Shame on you,Congo the arabs would treat you like slaves. The way they did, in the past.
Turkey's largest Embassy overseas and largest military base overseas is in Somalia, which shows the importance it emphasizes on Africa 🌍
Lol. You're funny and ignorant.
Turkey was the height of the Ottoman empire that played a huge role in enslaving africans.
They're coming again for personal gains
.
Turkey had colonies in Europe. Turkey is a former colonial power.
@@JaTi-kz6hx That’s relevant for Europe and Turkey relations,but this topic is about Turkiye and Africa relations,and why the relationship is flourishing while the West is tanking badly. The reasons have already been explained.
*You can cry as much as you want, Turkiye welcome to Africa*🇹🇷🇹🇷
hahaha... nicely said!
You are not african
Turkey dosent have to be African in order to be recognised by African countries fo a mutual relationship
@@enogh you are just delusional,
and raised with propaganda you wouldn't even understand.
Turkiye will always do everything it can for africa to be indepent from all of you ;)
But it should have been mentioned also that Türkiye is one of the rare countries which never robbed the poor africans in history like US, EU, UK etc. Its a win win for both, without causing damage to africa or rest of the world. For now its even a bigger win for africa.
She did, that's what she was referring to when she said that Türkiye wouldn't come with a colonial baggage unlike the west.
Turkey was a colonial power killed millions in Eastern Europe and Middle East, Arabia was under Turkish rule for centuries
Turkiye used to rob other countries. Remember the Ottoman Empire?
@@jijikwtcry well
@@jijikwtI might be wrong, but from what I know, the Ottoman Empire was generally a peaceful empire. They did not rule in the manner the British did in India. Like in any society, there might have been some rogue soldiers, but the majority did not engage in such actions.
An example supporting this is the history: Palestinians under Ottoman rule experienced a golden time when Jews, Muslims, and Christians coexisted peacefully. I also believe this harmony existed because the Turks were ruled themself for a long time by the Mongols. While interpretations may vary, it's worth noting that compared to other empires, there is less documented evidence of widespread killings by the Ottoman Empire or Turks.
Turkey 🇹🇷 has our support always.
🇸🇴 ❤ 🇹🇷
we will always support you my brother 🇸🇴♥️🇹🇷
Tesheküler Kardesim 🇩🇯❤️🇹🇷@@alpertunga635
That's intact a massive win for the African continent and Turkiye as well. God bless Hon. Erdogan and its people
I am Indian, Turkiye is doing well with Africa. Need to appreciate.
Alhamdulillah
I am happy that Turkey is making in roads into Africa with a genuine motive
Look at how much development has been made in Somalia where no one wanted to move in to support them
@@suhask.r9240 teşekkürler .Türkiye hindistanın düşmanı degildir ve olmamıştır ancak keşmir konusunda pakistan haklı oldugu için pakistanı savunmuştur.Keşmir özgür olmalıdır.
What’s your problem Africa love Turkey 🇹🇷
Turkiye is the best in africa. we love them so much because they are not hypocrisy as the West. And their work is perfec and finished timely.
Turkey built our new air port, that's development and that's what Africa needs
Turkiye Africa brotherhood long live Insha ALLAH ❤❤
I live in hargeisa, Somaliland. A lot of food we eat comes from turkey 🇹🇷
They don't do nothing for somaliland
Who are you
This is fuckin sour grapes
Learn.to aporeciate you ungrateful
Bro
@@khaliddi9767 O zaman bölücülük yapmayacaksın somali ve somaliland tek devlettir.Bir olursan güçlü olursun bölünürsen yok olursun ve sömürgecilere yem olursun.Türkiye somaliland a da yardım yapacaktır kerdeşim.
Hats off to Erdoğan, Salaam for Africa and Turkiye from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Yes, Pakistan loves Turkey
PAKİSTAN TÜRKİYE KARDEŞLİĞİ SARSILMAZ BİR KARDEŞLİKTİR.EVET TÜRKİYE PAKİSTANI SEVİYOR.
Turkiye is welcome to Africa. 🇸🇴🤝🇹🇷
Turkey is good partner of Africa 🤝🤝
Without any doubt
Please just visit Somalia and see for yourself before making biased comments
@@ziyauddindaya2851 what happened in Somalia
They have many investments in Nigeria including a university at Abuja and secondary schools. Funny thing with them is they are silent investors, they dont make noise unlike the westerners who invest $1m in Africa and the whole world will hear about it
😂😂So true and funny! Still a majority of their "trade" leaves nothing to show for the noise. I am surprised even small turkeye is doing almost the same volume of trade as the US in Africa and more than the EU.
People talk about africa like we're clueless brainless people.
True and that pisses me off.
Exactly that is what I was thinking , it’s insulting… as if we don’t have a saying about what happens in our continent, don’t forget that we fought against the colonialism , and we will fight against any power that thinks they can come and do as they please in Africa .
Certain things might take sometime but be assured ,we will not let China , turkey or the west powers dictate their agenda when push comes to shove will fight back .
@@loucadoida3327Definitely. As a Turk, my advice to you is not to fully trust Turkey, China or any other country. Only Africans can save Africa.
indeed you are my friend
Only one culture colonized Africa. Period
as African Turkey is wellcome ❤
Turkiye❤🎉🎉🎉. Great strategic planning. More help for their friends in Mogadishu.
She said about erdogan islamic agenda but she never talk about modis hindutwa agenda 😂
Right you are
But one must understand that India can't export Hinduism to Africa or to the World, most people around the world will not take to Hinduism, multiple Gods, Idol worshipping etc the Africans too will not take on to a religion like Hinduism. Erdogan knows fully well that Islam came to Africa first and then to the other continents.
Modi is a criminal
This we call hypocrisy
Islamic agenda is terror. Check what it has done everywhere in Africa
Türkiye is a positive partner in Africa and has a win-win policy, not for colonialism,,, bravo Turks 👏👏
Turkiye is great country. Turkiye has been developed under great leader Recep Tayep Erdogan.
Nobody ever asks what Africans want in other continents but just what others want in Africa
They do all the Tim in the USA the uk Sweden Denmark Poland Portugal France Spain Malta. Everywhere
That's because Africans aren't economically strong yet..
When you are strong then people will care what you want.
Right now you are poor and weak. So it's for stronger nations to come and see if they want to do business with you. Not the other way around.
They're doing what India failed to do. Turkey media company TRT has channels for the two must spoken African languages Swahili and Hausa.
The turks are honest and sincere about their dealing with africa, in somalia they made us stand again and rebuild our estate.
Somalia's future is bright. loves from Turkey 🇹🇷🇸🇴
Turkiye doesnt interfere in internal politics and provides africa with support and business. Thats why they are succesfull and western countries are not. Thats also the reason why China has been succesfull. If we all respect eachother we can do business and grow together. Thats what the world is about. Respect for our brothers and sisters from Turkiye and all the other nations from Somalia
Very very highly welcome turkey 🇹🇷 to Africa, they are like fairness relationship.
Turkey's largest Embassy overseas and largest military base overseas is in Somalia, which shows the importance it emphasizes on Africa 🌍
Amarica has one second largest base in somalia is whole town nothing but Americans no one mentioned that so both of them is not different each other went to somalia for stealing resources since ther is not government ther
@@baskilyare Swear that's the fact , Turkey is opportunist just like other cooperation western asian countries turkey saw the chance an moved quickly to used the moslim card saying we're here as your brothers to help you than start exploiting somalia's untapped markets and resources they even exploite their poor women raping them and giving bribe money to keep somalia's government officialls quite , sad reality , check google
Great to have Erdoğan in Africa. A true hero!!
Not, because he have said before he want the ottoman empire back! F him
Let's say Ethiopia, Turkey involved mainly with manufacturing industry and mining construction and other's, but they are working closely with the Government with out any interference, for that matter turkey is best,...
It is not 27 percent my Dear, Africa is 45 to 50 percent Muslim.
Did she say thay because of hate or she didnt make research.
Turkey is our friend. Long live Erdoğan
Long live Turkey
Turkey is doing well if it is developing relations with African countries. I think this is the endeavour of all countries.
Pls did Türkiye
Why you report as if it is Bad thing?your style of report is highly questianable.
Like when you report china news😂
We love turkey
Turks hates Pakistanis 😂
Every African leader is eyeing for Turkish drones, this makes Turkey more favourite to take on big projects.
As per latest data from the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Government of India, bilateral trade between India and Africa stood at approximately $98 billion in 2022-23, a significant increase from $7 billion in 2001.
Thanks.
Umssuka
Unbelievable 😮
India needs to do more business in Africa starting with Somalia. There are already many Somalis with indian ancestors living in Mogadishu. Start now and dont fall behind. Also use the same tactics as Turkiye and China. Just support and trade with Africa and dont interfere with internal politics. This way you will have a massive support and base in Africa. And also a massive market. Good luck to our brothers and sisters from India. Greetings from Somalia
That is one country i would love to visit, especially to see the survivors of the earthquake😊 and catch a football game. Those fans are not constantly haurling racial insults to black fans and players.
Turkey don't make india jealous 😂😂😂😂
Thank you South Afrika end Turkiya
This woman really sounds like a angry toxic bullshit
She is not sexually satisfied.
Erdoğan is very smart, that's y he trust smart leaders like Putin and Xi
Honestly this is sad for us Africans. If we were to unite fully and invest heavily in R and D we will be able to achieve self sufficiency in 10 years.
I thought I am the only one concerned..... Our people are blind. No one comes to Africa without an agenda. We are not focused. Africa need leadership
@@rethabilemofokeng7846 when they're working with others it's called a partnership, but when they're working with African countries it's called scramble for Africa. Honestly we're not moving forward as a continent and we're not pressuring our leaders enough. Almost all democratically elected leaders in Africa are bought and are rendered useless by these foreign powers. It's sad I tell you 😭😭
@@rethabilemofokeng7846
What can you offer, other than empty rhetorics and finger pointing? Let assume that you become an African leader by tomorrow, what would you do to change the Africa's narrative?
@rwandannoble4990 - That's true, all these people who are pissed by superpowers investing in Africa have nothing to offer except looting and enriching their circle, wives and concubines while the poor masses are clapping hands for them. Foreign investment can develop a country if funds are properly used like in China, Japan, Singapore etc.
@@1nesoch, Respectfully, the answer to your question is, nothing. However; Rethabilemofokeng, has a valid point. It seems to me, he's raising awareness and red flags. African leaders needs to stop making blind blood deals for the betterment of every African on this planet. Of course President Hon Erdogan wants something, although it's a win/win for both. History has given Africans reason for concerns moving forward. Security & Safety for every 'do right President' should be of high protocol by a non-compremized agency. We are in the Decade of Africa, and every African should be looking beyond as a 'Star playing country.' Know this, there're solutions to each political problems plaguing the continent not fit for public forum.
alhamdulillah turkiyee
We love Turky. Viva Erdogan
Make it a clear. No one is scrambling Africa. Its just partnerships.
Great analysis
Turkey is dreaming of reviving the Ottoman Empire..
That will bring peace.
Plz inform about India-Africa relationship
This time it will benefit Africa.
Very nice explanation
Turkey don't bring Africa LGBT or gay rights 😂😂😂😂
Why are you talking about Muslim agenda Muslim agenda is right is good
turkiye good bless turkiye with Muslims agenda if Indian fm visited some country's why you not saying hindu agenda this is hypocrisy 😎😎😎😎
As an African 46% is Muslim and 48% Christian
Also Turkish airways fly to 60 destinations in the continent of Africa
There is nothing secret about it. You must have heard it recently. The Turkish airlines flies to everywhere in Africa. Turkiye has embassies everywhere. Turkish volunteers are all over the continent. There are a large group of students in Turkish universities from all over Africa. Turkiye also helps to end the French exploitation of Africa's resources. I listened to an address by Erdoğan to a graduation class of Africans, and he sounded like an African nationalist, setting the tone. All the right moves. Ottomans fought to their last breath to keep Europeans out of Africa, and Turkiye picked up the flag again.
Turkey can accomplish everything except run it's economy. Currency has lost 80% value since 2019 as of 2024, unemployment rate at 10%, inflation was 64% in Dec 2023, current account deficit at 5%, in 2023 its foreign reserves excluding currency swaps went into negative territory, it's sovereign bonds r in junk category, it also runs a heavy trade deficit of 106 billion which is ironic because all the shenanigans with erdoganomics were to boost exports. Above all it suffers from authoritarianism.
😅
All those you have saved are more or less true, but failed/overlooked to mention that entire EEU nations and USA at the behest of almighty Israel conspired to put all kinds of Sanctions and obstacles against Turkey in order to make it fail. Turkey has refused to take orders from these inhuman monsters, rather chosen to stay on course to be a free nation. I am sure dividend will follow. Once you choose the right path, formulate compatible policies/strategies and organise resources to reach the destination you will win in the end. Look at those war mongering nations; entangled in never ending wars one after another sleep walking towards self destruction. You should not be surprised if the conspirators one day knock at African and Asian doors as economic asylum seekers unless they repent, come to their senses and go back to the basics.
Shame on u 😂😂😂😂
Just came back from Vacation in Turkey . I found the cities extremely clean compared to both India and USA , Great infrastructure , Awesome highways , high speed trains ( real high speed, not like fake indian high speed trains) and restraunts and shopping malls full of people . Yes inflation is high , but salary increase in also high . Wanted to ask about buying a flat in Istanbul, could not do this time, will definitely do on next visit . Above all the people are wonderful . As for Trade deficit , the numbers you quoted are from goods trade . Turkey has a huge Services exports , Airlines, tourism banking and external contracting like the 85 billion dollar number quoted in this Video . Tourism alone is bringing in 40 billion dollars every year , you should substract that from trade deficit . Just the rebuilding of Ukraine is going to generate contracts of atleast 100 billion for Turkish firms , just like rebuilding of Iraq is earning 12 billion dollars for turkish exporters every year . Turkey has a great future . The biggest problem is that while carving out the borders , the colonial powers cleverly kept all energy rich regions out of Turkey . This causes a import bill of 50 billion dollars . However with Turkey focusing on electric cars , massive dams, europe's largest solar power plant and nuclear power even this is bill is going to come down .
That is due to US financial attack.
We done Turkey. West forgoten Africa Development?? 😂😂
Love TURKIYE ... love ERDOGAN ♥ AFRICA welcomes TURKIYE
Currently, Turkey and UAE are supplying Drones to the oromo mafia group in Addis Ababa lead by Mr. Abiy Ahmed Ali with strategy to wipe out the Amhara people. STOP AMHARA GENOCIDE in Ethiopia!
😂😂😂 Amhara weasel whining here
Türkiye is just weighting in her options. EU membership may have failed buy we still got very extensive trade and custom deals with them. This whole Islamic ummah project is bound to fail too, but ut will yield some form of soft power we need in order to try our luck with the next project. Unlike India, we aren't blessed with a vast and fettile land with excellent natural borders. We sit in the crossroads of so much bullshit that slightest misteps can cause us to fall for good.
The Ottomans were in no position to go to war in WW1 and should have remained neutral. The wars would have passed them the way they passed a declining Spain but would've left them with a big chunk of the ME. The Israel occupation would have never occurred and all this jihad nonsense. The ultimate master move was to be non aligned for the 2 world wars and ally with the USA immediately after. The soviets were far too dangerous.
India was blessed eather, they was Unified under islam and lost the power because of begin nice to England.
And if you realy think, we arent blessed than you arent good in Geopolitik my friend, 1 first we are in nato, totaly be prepaired for every fight. Secondly over hardpower had grown you can read it on global fire index, from 11 to 8 and even over came italy and france and the second or third if you say russia is a european country, in European continent. Yes with erdogan isnt going well, but with his investment and a better goverment, we will be able to catch better up and that can be let us reach in global power index the 5 rank and the G7 member ship. By the way india has a huge problem wirj china how is far more strong than india, secondly have you see what india does to moslems and indegions like the jawa tribe ? They have literaly human zoos and give fuck about 80% of there own Population. Turkey and there people have it far better than indian
Turkey has been rejected by both the EU and also the Islamic world. You are now stuck. But we Africans welcome all nations who wish to do business.
@@kaboonali5466 not quiet true, if you watch the ots. And european needs us, more than they want.
we appreciate what Turkey is doing in Africa, respect to them🙌.but what we are Africans don't want is radicalism or any form of submission through religious ideology,.
Also all the millitary weapons to
k.illl African people, like in Sudan you Fo*olllll #FreeSudan
Islam is not an agenda, it's the only true religion.. Get your facts right.
Who told you taking about ather country non nasasery
I hope the world will stop fighting each other and make fear trades so we all can benefith from it, instead of killing each other. ❤ From Türkiye to all
We the sons of africa are just 😂😂😂 at them, because when the time comes they will understand that Africans are more wise...
But you are still your white masters' religion and dancing with their command
What a wonderful journalist you are, every Indians should be proud of you, India become most powerful country in the world because of you
What powerful country, you need need toilets
Looks like India doesn’t like Turkey in Africa
She is spot on.
Africa is our Home they are our brothers in Religion
Maybe this is the difference
Palki has highlighted a worrying trend which I wasnt aware of.. The incursion of Turkiye into Africa.
We should all be worried.
Africa should be worried. Along with Turkiye comes extremist islamist ideology, which has riven Africa apart for decades. As if countries like Somalia Nigeria Sudan etc havent suffered enough.
I don't trust them one bit. They have an agenda no matter how good they're intentions seem
Realizations always come too late !
whats happening Somalia Nigeria Sudan is not islam it is also important to note The Ottomans used many ways to protect Somalia from colonization using diplomatic, religious and political relations and they also armed the somalis against the europeans
As Africans we are not worried so no reason for Indians or Hindu to be worried for us, if you wish to fight the Muslims first stop sending millions of your people as migrant workers to Muslim countries
Arnab Goswami and his likes have successfully brainwashed you.
The real question that needs to be asked is; What is the reason for the extreme interest in Turkey that has emerged in India in the last year?
Don't be jealous 🇹🇷🙋
well you are talking like you know Miss Hindustani
Afrika❤
Which bastard countries did well since colonial era. Damn your explanation.
Regardless Turiye is better than for Africa any other country because you can see the development and the partnership in the people not in the rulers. It is win win situation for the people of Africa.
That's good ❤
i love this lady.
You are very wrong or Biased, America and some Europeans countries, have supplied military support to many ,Military led countries, they have supported despots ,and dictator's without asking question. When blaming Turkyie ,Russia, China,do not forget to look at the West meddling, Africa, Asia,Central and South America.
What do we need a mosque for??
We Africans should relay on ourselves and not on other countries.Turkiye was not able to join the EU that is why they turned to Africa because its an easy playing field and certainly not out of affinity to us Africans.
Not really, EU relationship had nothing to do with it. Anyway, it is a game both sides play.
If Turkiye joins EU, they will dominate it. Without Turkiye, it has no future. It is a doomed project.
palki, did you use toilet today morning ?
116 MILYENS HEF NO T🚽OYLIT THRY SHIT ON THE STREET AI HEF SEE THE 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩ON THE STREET SHITING🤮
These foreign nations have articulated their interests. They know what they want from Africa and how to get it. I do not know if the same can be said of African leaders, most of whom are preocupied with amassing wealth and retaining power at all cost and at the expense of their impoverished citizens.
The foreign powers put their nations' interests forward and first in their engagement wiith Africa, but the African leaders place themselves first.
Turkiye should be in G-7 ( Turkiye,Brazil,Mexico,Venanuella,Colombisa,Argentina,Chille,Peru,Indonesia ,Philippines are richer than england,germany,france,italy and japan. ).
Secret? Nothing secret about. We're working together with many African countries.
Stop lying
But why every country is interested in Africa what is the deal
It's a loss for Kenya. We don't like there things. Come and interview Kenyans
Why is India not welcome in Africa?
Good luck turkiye
As a Kenyan, I love the voice and physical appearance of this lady, but whatever she talks is always bullshit, especially anything about Africa she degrades Africa like shit,..
🎉🎉🎉
You nailed the point turkey is a trabl makers in Africa it is sadly truth .
also India has strong presence in Africa
BS again !!!
Stop lying
No body knows how Africans are treated in turkye
Funny how people think that Africa is to take. Funny funny funny.😂😂😂😂😂
Turkiye is a better alternative to EU,USA,china,india.
America invest one million shillings and force us all to be gay..we welcome turkey all day
