Renowned Turkish journalist Nazlı Çelik recently visited the TURKSOM Military Base in Somalia, and her report, aired on Star TV’s evening news, provided a detailed look into Türkiye’s support for the Somali military and its broader efforts to foster peace in the region. The feature showcased how the Turkish Armed Forces (TSK) play a pivotal role in training Somali soldiers, including specialized instruction in urban warfare and counter-terrorism at the Anadolu Barracks. TURKSOM, one of Türkiye’s largest overseas military bases, has been operational since 2017 and serves as the backbone for building the Somali National Army (SNA). The report highlighted that TURKSOM has trained thousands of Somali officers and non-commissioned officers, equipping them with both theoretical and practical skills. Officers undergo a three-year training program, while NCOs complete a two-year program, all conducted in Turkish by experienced Turkish commanders. Beyond military training, the programs emphasize leadership development and building self-confidence, ensuring the trainees are prepared for the challenges they face in rebuilding their nation. The base is also home to the training of the elite Gorgor (Eagle) units, which serve as Somalia’s special forces. Since 2017, over 7,400 Gorgor soldiers have been trained, significantly bolstering Somalia’s fight against threats such as Al-Shabaab. In the feature, Somali Defense Minister Abdulkadir Mohamed Nur shared his optimism about the role of Türkiye’s support, stating that the new Gorgor graduates will enable Somalia to gain further ground against Al-Shabaab, contributing to the country’s stability and prosperity. The report also detailed how Somali commandos trained at TURKSOM continue their education in Türkiye, specifically in Isparta, where they develop advanced skills and learn the principles of military hierarchy and command. The segment included personal insights from Iman Elman, Somalia’s first female colonel, who lost her sister to terrorism. She emphasized how the training provided by Türkiye supports not only the professional but also the personal development of Somali soldiers, preparing them to become well-rounded leaders. Additionally, the report highlighted how Türkiye’s efforts extend beyond the military, contributing to the development of Somalia’s civilian capacity. Türkiye’s Ambassador to Somalia, Alper Aktaş, also featured in the broadcast, reflecting on the strong ties between the two nations. Quoting Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, Aktaş underscored the “shared destiny” between Türkiye and Somalia, highlighting the deep-rooted partnership built on mutual respect and cooperation. Nazlı Çelik’s report is one of the most comprehensive pieces to date, capturing Türkiye’s critical role in empowering the Somali military and showcasing the tangible impact of this partnership on Somalia’s journey toward peace and stability.
