Sheikh Mohamed Umal, a highly respected religious scholar, has called on the Somali government to expel the UAE from Somalia and sever all diplomatic ties with it.
He described the UAE as a jackal that follows Israel, and went on to accuse them of destabilizing Sudan, Libya, Yemen, and Somalia.
Many Somali and foreign experts and institutions focused on the region's geopolitical dynamics, including @ForesightSO, believe this has been in the making.
I know @ProfAbdiSamatar is pleased today, but it won’t be complete until every UAE-backed local mercenary and collaborator is removed from our country.
Today marks a critical moment for Turkish-Somali relations. Türkiye's pride in maritime exploration, the Oruç Reis Seismic Research Vessel, is set to embark on its journey to Somalia following a farewell ceremony at the Bosphorus in Istanbul. This mission has been made possible by the Defense and Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement signed between Türkiye and Somalia, paving the way for enhanced collaboration and exploration efforts in Somali waters.
For the first time, TRT Haber captured exclusive footage of the Oruç Reis vessel before its long voyage. According to their report, preparations for this seismic expedition have been completed. The ship is ready for departure, and its journey towards Somali waters is about to begin. Setting sail from Zonguldak’s Filyos Port, the Oruç Reis will follow a route through the Mediterranean, the Suez Canal, and the Red Sea, arriving near Somalia by the end of October. The journey is expected to take around 19 days.
Upon arrival, the Oruç Reis will conduct 3D seismic research in three designated areas, with the operation expected to last approximately seven months. During this time, the vessel will collect data for both oil and natural gas exploration. The gathered information will be sent to Ankara for analysis, which will guide future drilling activities in the identified regions.
Measuring 87 meters in length and 23 meters in width, the Oruç Reis is a significant asset in Türkiye's maritime exploration efforts. With this mission, Türkiye is expanding its exploration map, opening a new chapter in its relationship with its close ally, Somalia, through joint efforts to explore natural gas and oil reserves.
