The most critical expedition: What did Turkey find in Somalia?

Somalia is advancing on its path to becoming a prominent country on Africa's energy map. In addition to its rich oil and natural gas reserves, Somalia also has renewable energy resources such as solar and wind power. However, effectively harnessing this potential requires strategic partnerships. At this point, Turkey is ready to step in with its experience and long-standing strong relations with Somalia. Turkey, leveraging its experience from energy discoveries in the Black Sea and Mediterranean, aims to help Somalia use its energy resources efficiently.

On February 8, 2024, the Defense and Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement signed between the two countries expanded their cooperation into the energy sector. Following this agreement, in March 2024, concrete steps were taken in the fields of oil and natural gas by the energy ministers of the two countries. Turkey’s energy projects in Somalia are not only aimed at increasing electricity access but also at contributing to Somalia’s economic development. Turkey's investments will create new job opportunities in Somalia and strengthen infrastructure. Additionally, this cooperation will enhance Turkey's strategic influence in the region and could alter regional power balances.

Turkey-Somalia energy cooperation could make a significant contribution to Somalia’s energy independence. There is a high potential to transform the country's import-dependent energy model using local resources. Turkey's experience in the energy sector and Somalia’s natural resources are set to lay the foundation for long-term sustainable development. This cooperation model could serve as an example for other African countries, starting with Somalia. With Turkey's support, Somalia's energy journey could open doors to a hopeful future for both its people and the entire continent.
