Turkey's Military Base in Somalia

Some breaking news. Turkey has built a military base in

Somalia,

but Israel is panicking because Israel is now sandwiched between

Turkey on one side and Turkey's missiles on the other.

This new Turkish base sits on the coast about 70 kilometers away from

the capital, and what Turkey has built there

is a rocket launch site.

Turkish soldiers are guarding that site, and their orders are to be there until

2028. Now, Turkey says it's a space port built for

putting satellites into orbit, but reports say it's also being used to

test

ballistic missiles as well. Those missiles fly over 2,000

kilometers. That's not far enough to reach into

Israel, but it is

far enough to reach into the new base that Israel is also building in

Africa. Back in December, Israel became the only country on Earth to

recognize

Somaliland, and since then, Israel has been hunting across

Somaliland for somewhere to build a base.

They want a base close enough to reach the Houthis in Yemen.

The spot Israel is looking at is about 260 kilometers away from them.

Israeli teams have already flown out and surveyed the Somaliland coast.

They actually rented hotels with blast-proof windows whilst they did

it. Turkey's largest drone maker actually

calls Somalia part of its,

quote, "heartland geography." That's a Turkish

company calling another

country part of Turkey's own backyard.

But those Turkish missiles close to Israel are only one half of the

sandwich. Turkey has also signed over 40 agreements

with

22 different Syrian ministries, tying them to their

government. Israel looks at that and sees Turkey is not only building in

Africa, but they're also expanding into the

country that literally borders

Israel, and tensions are rising. Only last month, Israel bombed a

military base being operated by Turkey within Syria.

But Israel's own newspapers are calling this new Turkish base in

Somalia a

threat to Israel's own security. Turkey is above Israel in Syria,

but as well as that, they're now building a base next to where

Israel is building a

base, too. It's a matter of time until they clash,

and that could end

badly. But there is something important.
