With mosques and aid… Erdoğan penetrates Africa and exploits peoples needs
Turkey always exploits the poverty of some countries and the needs of their people in order to control their destinies, especially the countries of Southeast Asia and the African continent. Erdoğan is playing a sinister game in Africa to spread his influence and exploit their wealth, noting that the Turkish President took advantage of the chaos that the black continent suffers by pumping billions of investments and deploying his spies.
Erdoğan’s Special Portal Ethiopia
African researcher Sheriff Ahmed says : Last year, Turkey confirmed that it would double trade with the Black Continent to more than $50 billion in the coming years, one-third of their trade with the European Union, as well as the largest military facility in Somalia and a huge mosque in Djibouti.
He added : “Erdoğan considers Ethiopia his own gateway to penetrate the continent, which was revealed by the talk of the Turkish Ambassador in Ethiopia Yaprak Alp, who claimed that the African continent did not receive sufficient attention and that there are untapped possibilities, pointing to the need to deepen economic relations with the countries of the continent, especially Ethiopia. Indeed, over the past 20 years, Turkey has become the third largest investor in Ethiopia, and Turkish officials confirmed that 2.5 billion of the total 6 billion dollars Turkish companies invested in Africa went to Ethiopia.”
After long years of Turkish neglect of the Black Continent and the proximity of their rulers to the Old Continent, policies and objectives have changed in recent years in order to seek the continent’s lost wealth. Since 2009, Turkey has increased the number of their embassies in Africa from 12 to 42, and Erdogan has made more than 20 visits to African countries.
Wells in Chad
The Turkish Red Crescent Society opened 3 water wells in the suburbs of the Chadian capital, N’Djamena. Turkish Ambassador to N’Djamena Kamal Qaygisz participated in the ceremony to inaugurate the solar-powered wells, bringing the number of wells opened by the Turkish Red Crescent since last year to 10.
The Turkish Red Crescent also announced the distribution of medical aid in the Senegalese capital, Dakar. The head of the Red Crescent mission in Senegal, Abdullah Kaya, said that the medical aid included medical masks and sterilizations, adding that this was the last batch of aid this year, as they distributed masks in one of the main squares in Dakar, and at Cheikh Anta Diop University.
In November 2019, Djibouti’s largest mosque, the Abdulhamid II Mosque, opened with an area of 13.000 square meters and a capacity of about 6000 people, with the two towering lighthouses each 46 meters high.
