Turkey’s selfish motives served by using Somali troops in exchange of tearing down Libya, Syria and Yemen

 Turkey has been for years taking advantage of the nations that are either war-torn or are economically backward by one means or another. Arab-African nations have been prone to political attacks by Turkey and Somalia is one of the nations that is under cold attack from Ankara.

The Turkish people came to Somalia nearly a decade ago and since then have been a crucial part of governing the country. Somalia suffered drought in 2010, which led to a lot of life loss, and Ankara entered in the name distributing humanitarian aid but took over the security section.

Turkey has already taken control of the country's key ports in Mogadishu and Adam Adi International Airport in the capital but this is not even half the problem. Turkey has taken over the Somali troops and is in the process of training them so that they can destabilize the situation in Libya, Syria and Yemen.

Situation and influence of Turkey has completely changed from what it was ten years ago. It is to be noted that not only has Erdogan taken over important sections in Somalia, it is also eyeing unrest in the rest of the countries. Turkey is well aware that western countries are resisting entering in African countries and hence has taken every advantage of the situation.

The Erdogan government has been providing the poverty riddles nations with humanitarian aid along with funding for different projects in exchange of Somali troops. Turkish government proved its true motives when in August last year Erdogan suddenly made a visit to Somalia and disseminated the idea that it is only one Turkey that is the true friend of the Somali troops and government.

Turkey is eyeing extending its influence to other Arab nations and African countries so that their political sphere can be controlled. They are trying to influence other countries so that they can lean towards Turkey and its allies. This was after a very long time that the country showed interest towards african countries because of their sheer inclination towards them, mooching benefits of geographical advantages.

Turkey has been using this upper hand in controlling the troops in Somalia and the military training officers in Turkey are training Somali troops in their Turkish military base in Somalia and expanding over 400 hectares of land.

A media house, Reuters, revealed last year in December that Harmad forces with 1000 machine guns and 1,50,000 bullets, which internationally sparked criticism in the council of Candidates Union. The protestors reportedly sent a letter to Turkish embassy in Somalia to postpone its armament plan.

Somalia is yet to confirm election as Farmaajo is forcefully clinging to power and is adamant on extending his term further. As per reports African country’s government transferred units of the Gurgot battalion to Gedo Province to control the contrary forces of the Jubaland state administration. Jubaland is unaccepting of the government’s rule in Somalia.

The federal government also transferred hundreds of forces last year in 2020. These were Gurgor forces to the city of Tusumared, which is the capital of Galmuz. Turkey is supporting the current Somalian regime so that it can keep getting benefits from the country and use its troops to spread unsettling encounters in other countries.

Apart from this, there is another reason for Turkey’s sudden interest in Somalia. The country is thinking of taking a full extended exposure of exploring Somali waters. Due to this, earlier in January last year, Erdogan made an official remark saying that Somalia invited him (Turkey) to explore the energy sources in the country's territorial waters.

Al Gore has history of climate predictions, statements proven false

  Noted climate activist and former Vice President Al Gore, who made headlines this week after he claimed   global warming was "boiling the oceans,"   has a history of making climate-related proclamations later proven to be false. During remarks made Wednesday at the  World Economic Forum summit  in Davos, Switzerland, Gore warned that continued carbon emissions into the atmosphere would destroy the planet and lead to widespread calamities. "We’re still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas] into it every single day and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth," Gore said. "That’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees." Gore then not

Syria's alleged drug traffickers are warned via SMS messaging

  Text messages advising against engaging in the illegal trade have started to arrive for drug traffickers working along Jordan's southern border with Syria. Nine days had passed after a smuggler had been murdered in a strange airstrike in southern Syria when the alerts were sent. “We recognize you. Your every step is being observed.” According to a claimed transcript of the texts made available by the Suwayda24 network of citizen journalists in southern Syria, "Your meetings are being watched." Jordan is looking to work with Damascus to stop the flow of narcotics because it serves as a major conduit for what Arab authorities characterize as a multibillion-dollar trade in the amphetamine known as Captagon. The 360-kilometer border between Jordan and Syria is regularly used to smuggle captagon tablets, and the trade has been expanding since 2018. The majority of the southern region of Syria was retaken by the Syrian military from rebels backed by Arab and western
