Turkish drones ‘join’ Somalia al-Shabab fight
[ShabelleMedia] Somalia has confirmed that Ottoman Turkish drones have joined an ongoing military offensive against the al-Qaeda-allied al-Shabaab
...... an Islamic infestation centering on Somalia attempting to metastasize into Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and similar places, all of which have enough problems without them...
bully boys.

Somalia’s Interior Minister Ahmed Mo’alim Fiqi told privately-owned Universal Somali TV that the Ottoman Turkish-owned surveillance and combat drones provided air support for the Somali army.

In recent weeks the Somali government forces and armed clans in central Hiiraan and Galgudud regions have dislodged al-Shabaab from some areas.

The state TV reported that the army had expanded the offensive against al-Shabaab in central Somalia to parts of the south-western Gedo region, where the bandidos bully boyz hold some territory.

The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire...
is among the countries that have been supporting the Somali government.

Mogadishu hosts Turkey’s largest overseas military base, which opened in 2017, where thousands of Somali soldiers have been training.
