Large Turkish group visits Somalia for durable projects, investments



A big Turkish delegation comprising officials from multiple ministries and relief organizations as well as businessmen arrived in Somalia's capital of Mogadishu early on Monday to research the feasibility of various projects and investments in the drought-stricken eastern African nation.
 
The Turkish Cooperation and Development Agency (TİKA) said in a statement posted on its website that the group included 150 representatives from the Environment and Urban Planning Ministry, the Foreign Ministry, the Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, the Ministry of Forestry and Water, the Ministry of Transportation, the Health Ministry, and the Directorate of Religious Affairs as well as the prime minister's Disaster and Emergency Management Directorate (AFAD), the Housing Development Administration of Turkey (TOKİ) and the Turkish Red Crescent (Kızılay). “It is expected that the group of experts will conduct sector-based analysis in housing, healthcare, use of water resources and transportation,” the statement said. TİKA is coordinating all aid Turkey donates to Somalia, making sure that it is appropriately and effectively distributed.

Turkey has been a frontrunner in sending humanitarian aid to the East African nation that is struggling with one of the worst famines to hit the continent. In addition to the half billion Turkish lira donated, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan paid a visit to Mogadishu late last month to draw the world's attention to the situation there.

Meanwhile, as the latest of  series of aid shipments from Turkey to Somalia, a cargo ship that set sail from Turkey on August 16 with tons of humanitarian aid arrived in Mogadishu on Monday.

Transporting 5,000 tons of humanitarian aid, Turkish freighter “Burak A” docked at Mogadishu Port after a 22-day-long journey. The ship, dubbed the “İyilik Gemisi” (Goodness Ship), is also transporting tents, sanitary supplies, food, light work machinery and five fully equipped ambulances. The materials will be carried to Kızılay's depots in Mogadishu to be delivered to those in need. Officials say it may take five days to fully unload the ship.

Great
I really admire the security risk which turkish people are taking to help their brothers and sisters in Somalia.
Hopefully we will be of any benefit towards them in the nearby future such as helping them in wars or welcoming turkish ppl to settle in Somalia.

That is the only way we can help. Istanbul should call Mogadishu if they are ever threatened millitarily by anyone.

no amount of investors or outside help is going to make any difference in Somalia, what Somalia needs is Somalis and until ordinary people decide they want peace, prosperity and stability than reer-hebel; nothing will change
