President Erdogan has said that Turkey will start oil exploration in Somali waters at Mogadishu’s invitation in a new sign of Ankara’s drive for influence beyond its own borders.

Mr Erdogan made the comments on Monday night as he flew back from Berlin, where he had been attending a conference on the crisis in Libya. Turkey has increased its support for the internationally recognised Government of National Accord (GNA) in recent months, sending armed drones, military advisers and Syrian rebels aligned to Ankara to Tripoli. Turkey has also signed a maritime memorandum with the GNA in Libya, marking out a gas-rich section of the eastern Mediterranean as Turkish sovereign territory, to the dismay of other countries in the region.

Somalia’s offering of offshore oil exploration tenders will be open to all, the country’s Petroleum and Mineral Resources minister said on Tuesday, a day after Ankara announced its eagerness to participate in exploration in the region.

While Somalia enjoys good relations with Turkey, the country’s oil operations will be transparent and without favoritism toward any particular company or country, Bloomberg quoted Abdirashid Mohamed Ahmed as saying on Somalia National Television.

There is “work to be done” before exploration begins, Ahmed added.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Monday said Somalia had invited Turkey to explore for oil in its seas after Turkey signed a maritime deal with Libya’s U.N.-recognised government last year.

“There is an offer from Somalia. They are saying: ‘There is oil in our seas. You are carrying out these operations with Libya, but you can also do them here.’ This is very important for us,” Erdoğan said.

On Nov. 27, Turkey and Libya’s internationally recognised government signed two memoranda of understanding, one on maritime boundaries in the Mediterranean Sea and a second on expanded security and military cooperation.

Turkey since 2011, has provided aid to Somalia with Ankara initiating development projects, opening schools, and training Somali soldiers as part of efforts to build up the war-torn country’s army.


(This is good for Somalia, good for Turkey, good for us Ethiopians and good for oil hungry world's!!)

As the saying goes, a neighbours eye is full of envy,

God has blessed Our Somali neighbours with abundant natural marine resources, let's just be happy for them, We Abyssinians have a long history of imaginary warrior kings and we have absolutely nothing to show for it.
