![🇹🇷 Turkey’s booming investments in Africa | Al Jazeera English](https://iml-jp.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Turkeys-booming-investments-in-Africa-Al-Jazeera-English.jpg)
Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is on a five-day trip to four countries in West Africa. Ankara has invested heavily in the African continent.
Turkey’s interests in Africa rival the ones of former colonial powers like France and the UK, as well as China.
One of the countries Erdogan is visiting is Senegal, where Turkey has a huge influence.
Al Jazeera’s Nicolas Haque reports from Senegal’s capital, Dakar.

There is a reason to why he closed down the school cause of who was operating those schools lets not forget he was also part of the military coup in turkey as well, but turkey is rebuilding these schools again which will look way better
thank you, turkey and erdogan regime
See erdogan only person who is stable in terms of marriage life….and men and woman equal….as he and his wife always present together in every event….men are having more authority over woman …but this authority comes with a heavy accountability and serious responsibilities and very delicate clauses…this authority is like a authority of commander on the troop…as a processor in the motherboard….as a lion pride in the jungle…..but superiority is not equal to authority ….that is only a misconception….womans are far superior in respect in humans social life as a mother…..
Salute to Mr. Erdoğan, and salam to my African brothers. Peace, love, unity, and respect from Indonesia.
MAY GOD BLESS 🙏 AFRICA AND ITS BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE 👨👨👦
Ok – who cares?
Turkey could be great again. Saudis government need to be destroyed. They have sold out islamic world.

The European Kolonies did come to make you to their slaves.
We, the Turks, are coming to make you to our brothers 🇹🇷❤️
now it is time america and, europe out
OTTOMAN empire is coming soon Insha Allah….
Long live Turkey 🇹🇷
Thanks for the helpfrom Turkey.
But I have a message to my African fellows. Why we need to be helped while we have 1.2 billion of strong and intelligent manpower? We have the second largest land in the world? Huge natural ressources? Large land of farming? Millions of livestock animals? Solar, wind and water rnergy? And the list goes on.
Wake up brothers. Let’s unite and change this mindset of need from others. We can do it.
I know there was a brain wash since coloniasm. I know we lost more than 75 percent of our manpower and intellectual during resisring colonialism. Yes it happened.
Now it’s time to have a new mindset self-sufficiency. Africa must help others not others will help Africa.
Lions and cheetahs of Africa remember your history 3000 to 6000 years ago, you were the home of science and mathematics, politics and philosofy, civilisation and economy. Wake up , wake up, wake up. I don’t want to say you can do it because everyone of you has it in his blood and knows that we can do it. Let’s do it again.
Let’s win our integrity, dignity and respect back. Let’s decide about the future of this World.
Wake up lions of Africa, wake up son of kush, wake up sons of Pharaoh, wake up sons of great Zimbabwe, wake up sons of Abysinia, wake sons of Dahomey, Ouaddai, Aksum, Tombuctu. Time has come.💪
Turkey is the best land I have ever been to and their ppl are truly amazing. I feel so proud to have turkish heritage as we accept ppl of all colours and religions and for Turks honour and loyalty is supreme. I love Turkiye !
Those schools sponsor terrorists so they have to be closed out… It’s the only way, after that many investments I think it’s okay to come to an agreement about those schools so africa stops sponsoring those Fethullah terrorists
Viva Somalia, Viva Turkiye.
What a Pakistani flag is doing in African map?. LOL !!! Al Jazeera you dont even know Pakistan is in Asia not Africa .
Great turkey and erdogen
Mr recep Tayyip erdoģan he’s a great leader ottomans is back
Seems to me the feathers of those fat Arab rulers are being ruffled by all this.
The end of Western influence.
Jive Jive afrika 🇹🇷TÜRKİYE
Reis erdoğan ne ya? Bu birine yaptığın yardımdan sonra ona kendini reis diye söyletip minnet duymasını sağlamakla aynı. Yardım yapan minnet beklememeli. İslam da böyle buyurur.
All this postering from Turkey… they neither have resources or the will to do as much as America has… America keeps a low profile when it gives aid but it gets all the blame for the countries problem … never knew US gave so much money to Palestinians.. now they will see who their real friends are .. and it ain’t other Arab countries
Salute to Turkey….!!!!! Turkey cares for his neighbouring countries unlike America who only know to destroy arab countries.
Nobody Is Perfect Okey, But Erdogan Had Created A Lot Of Sins,Crimes and İmplement a Huge Pain In Our Nation. He Need To Restore It Until He Die. Cause There Is Still 30Million People Hates From Erdogan And %81 Of Theese People Are Univercity Educated. When He Restore A Place in Same Time Demolish Another Place . He Need To Stop With It.
Media is the enemy of islam

Turks new friends:)
Super proud to be turkish!!
I love you Africa!!
Really , you call Fetullah Gülen Erdoğan’s political rival ?
If his coup succeed Al-Jazeera would have been a history by know because he was sponsored by UAE , Saudi and Western Powers who were determined to bring Qatar to it’s knees and occupy it if necessary .
The only man to protect you was Erdoğan .
Make sure you research and think before you report .
Then west will say that turkey spreading terror in africa by way of investments..
love from afganistan/
TURKEY IS GOING TO BE SUPAR POWER
Turkey true bros$siz Africa Muslim non .ordogan is the forefront thanks us Somalis Allah will reward you as helping the needy
erdoGan vs erdawn —>(proper pronunciation)
as words(turkic) migrate east to west they sometimes drop/gain a vowel in the begining of the word. sometimes B is changed to P sometimes the soft g in oguz is lost as in AUStria or the g becomes pronounce as in August.
ertugrul becomes Arthur or ard becomes earth its fascinating lol ordek becomes duck
maybe the word Dik(erect) becomes slang for something else 😉
then there is a word like dawn: turkish word for east is DOgU(the g in dogu is soft like the sound of w) the word Dogu is rooted in the turkish word for birth which is dogum…and turks refer to DAWN the rising sun as do(w)an gunesh
this will conclude our lesson for today
I am glad to read your comment. You are spot on.
Our investment will never stop. Come on Africa get stronger, but first get together #
Thank you turkey
Turkey, china, russia truh help but western gangsters??
*Long Live Turkey.*
*Long Live Erdogan.*
Good development
Look at all the different flags in Africa. That is the source of Africa’s misery. Unite Africa under ONE banner (flag), ONE currency, ONE passport!
God bless Turkey to helping them and god bless ur nation specially for the leader god bless sr president
Very well turkey and Africa united you can give us hope against USA the invader and the menace of the world
Love you Turkey! Uplifting Muslim countries.
Turkey realized that investing Africa is better then joining EU. They wasted more time trying to join EU. Now they are competing with EU, and the rest of the world. For African resources, and wealth. Great move by Turkey.
Booming investments in africa… what about investing in your own country first???
Good job jenap Erdogan , but those African leaders are worst , and corruption behavior.
Keep going Our Second Land Turkey❤️🇹🇷 Brother From Somalia 💙🇸🇴

People in Africa deserve more. Greetings from Turkey.
Every Muslim country should invest in african content, so it should not become slave of capitalist countries
Turks are bringing wealth instead of ripping people of like some nations. Good job Turks. Well done.
The Ottomans are back in Africa, except that it is the Republic of Turkey investing in Africa now.

This stupid journalist said turkey open military base in Somalia to train African solider what do you mean by that 53 African countries will go to Somalia to train with turkey most countries in Africa they don’t need turkey training if you forget let me remind you AU send solider to keep Somalia safe not turkey you think you can make impact by talk nonsense which doesn’t exist we all know and you know that you report 2% of the stories fact and the remaining 8% lie you should go back and learn how talk probably
Viiva 🇹🇷 Turkey
This is nonsense! These so called investments in Africa are a scheme for AKP party members to get rich quick on the back of the collapsing Turkish economy. The Turkish Banking system is a shambles. The second largest bank in Turkey (Halkbank) is insolvent (not only but also due to sanctions and penalties for the role it played in money laundering for high ranking figures in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard). The largest bank in Turkey (Turk Is Bankasi) is in a horrible fiscal position since the ruling AKP party announced its plans to ‘nationalize’ (de facto confiscation) shares of funds and individuals linked to the CHP which is the opposition party that owned a large chunk of the Bank by constitutional decree since it was created by Turkey’s founding father (Mustafa Kemal).
If that wasn’t bad enough Turkey denied it had even a single covid-19 case until a week ago. They had strict censorship on media outlets but at the same time bloggers were smuggling footage of makeshift corona treatment hospitals that were full to the brink with dying patients. Now Turkey admits to 18,000 sick and around 500 deaths but to get a more accurate figure add two zeros to each of these phony estimates by the Turkish Government.
Just as Finansbabk was sold to (mostly) Greek Banks and financial institutions a little over a decade ago for cents on the dollar this will probably repeat itself except nobody is interested in buying into this because the private debt in Turkey is (per capita) triple to quadraple that of China and at the same time the Turkish Government has no more than 70 Billion dollars in reserves and that is not counting the liabilities. This is worst than Sri Lanka when adjusted for population. But there is more!! The Turkish Lira is currently trading at 6.4 to the USD. In the summer of 2017 the Turkish Lira fell from 3.6 to 6.5 literally overnight and then extended its slide to as low as 7.3. If this scenario is repeated expect the Turkish Lira to fall to double digits (probably 12-15 TL to the USD) by the end of the year. Oh and did I mention President Erdogan’s party recently split in three and his popularity is at 25% and that he faces a Vietnam-like scenario in North Syria? I wouldn’t touch this Turkey with a 10 foot pole.
We love turkey and somalia
Hate western intrest
Western countries are only focus on their benefits
Love from india
Fetullah Gulen is a terror Cult Leader, if the schools he runs are closed that are not only for the interest of Turkey but also a plus point for Africa and our Muslim Brothers and sisters there..
Turkey is ready to fight France. And that will unite us with AFRICA. So my question who are the french? they cant win a war. they are rich because african still bleed for them today
