Erdogan: Turkey will erase Somalias debts to IMF

[Galool]

Ofcourse there will be benefit to them as well like in all kinds of partnerships, but they aren't new they have been here for a decade now since Shariif's admin.

Yes a decade investment, with probably another 7-8 years long investment to finally see Somalia's fruits and make back his money.

It's a long-term gamble, hopefully him and his AKP party survive long enough to see it come to fruition.

He probably wants Somalia's debt to be forgiven so its granted new billion dollar loans from the IMF to rebuild the country using Turkish companies.

Not a bad proposition, much better than getting debt trapped by China like the rest of dumbass Africa.

We could've done it without Turkey. Was just a couple billion dollars. Nothing we couldn't pay off in a decade.

Now our national credit score is in the gutters and we'll be dependent on Turkey for FDI.

We got some xoolo in charge today.

Turkish men are rich and hot. They can take us at least they know how to run a country.

Rich? Surely they wouldn't be in debt or be secular. As for hot (not that I'd normally be rude about looks but Google images is saying otherwise). They can take the few who say yes to them (Halfbreeds aren't Somali's collective L)

Good to hear. A fresh start is always good.

How our national operating budget is 460 million and most of that is in international aid not tax collection. We would not have paid it off in 10 years

 

[Revolutionary]

I'm pretty sure we were on our way to clearing our debts without them, in any case there's always a catch, blind love for turks will take you to the dirt

 

[Yahya]

Turkish folks aren't happy about this decision and for good reason. Erdogan is taking a political beating for this especially following the earthquakes. He must be betting on something big on Somalia.

Weapons sales and a huge first movers advantage in terms of business and trade deals. Cheap oil and gas exports and maybe a strong dependable ally to join the new Islamic block to stand against the UAE Saudi block.

No one is paying taxes. The current unelected government doesn't have the mandate to tax anyone and more importantly they don't have the mandate to burden us with more loans which is obviously the goal here.

I smell bitterness and jealousy, until y’all turn Somalia around you will be inferior to the great Turkish Kings.

 

[FBIsomalia]

As the info in Twitter says amount its 3.5 million dollar and those are Turkey money loan to Somalia.

 

[Calaf]

Turkey this, Turkey that, it is always Turkey. Will Somalia just be the 8th region of Turkey

Get this through your heads, the Turks don't have good intentions in our country, no country does. We have retards for leaders, who think that by sucking up to nations, we can be "BFF" forever. This is not how the world works and it ain't smart or Political. It just makes you dependent on a nation longer then needed

Why would I be jealous or bitter? I'll leave that to the Turks who aren't happy about their President's handling over the Izmir Earthquake. "Great Turk" an oxymoron.  In Shaa Allah Khayr Assad boots them out of N.Syria.

 

[AbdiGeedi]

I was right. It is a partial payment.
