Description

Nearly two decades after beginning its engagement with the continent, Turkey has emerged as one of the most active extra-regional actors in Africa. Its influence is particularly evident in the Horn of Africa, especially in Somalia and Ethiopia.

In this 51st episode of the Maamul Wanaag Podcast, Mahad Wasuge speaks with Dr. Federico Donelli, Assistant Professor of International Relations at the University of Trieste, Italy. They explore the evolution of Turkey’s engagement in Africa, its adaptability to external dynamics and domestic political shifts, its growing investments in Somalia, and its mediation role in the Somalia-Ethiopia context.
