Turkey Plans to Build Spaceport in Somalia

Date:

Turkey is planning to establish a spaceport in Somalia as part of its ambitious national space program, which includes goals such as reaching the Moon. Somalia’s geographic location near the equator provides an ideal launching point, significantly reducing the fuel required to send rockets into orbit. This strategic move strengthens the deep-rooted bilateral relations between the two nations, building upon Turkey’s existing military, economic, and humanitarian footprint in the East African country.

  • Turkey’s space program aims to establish an independent launch site in Somalia to bypass geographical limitations at home.
  • Somalia’s proximity to the equator makes it scientifically ideal for rocket launches, offering fuel efficiency and flexible launch trajectories.
  • The proposed spaceport is part of a broader Turkish initiative that includes satellite development and scientific missions.
  • The project deepens Turkey’s significant strategic and military presence in Somalia, where it already operates its largest overseas military training facility.

  1. Turkey is seen more favorable in Africa than unfavorably. Especially in Somalia. This is like the 3rd negative video about Turkey by DW and every time I hear Israel somewhere around the video…

  2. Why are you always using a wrong and international not recognized map for somalia but only for somalia when it comes to other african counteies you show their International recognized borders?

    Its neither the de facto map because you forget khatuumo state or the International recognized map. Its a pro israele somaliland map coincidential of course 🙂

  3. Wow do you all hear the condescension? Both for Africa and Turkey.
    Sorry dear Europe, we don't look at Africa the way you do DESPITE the way you try to show it under that light.
    We see them as people in need of a helping hand first.
    Once they get up, we will walk together.
    7:40 I respect the doubts, we will never do what Europeans did, Somalia can always reverse its decision.

  4. We Turks are ensuring that these white Europeans are increasingly pushed out of Africa; Europe's prosperity is over—there will be no more exploitation, and the Europeans, especially the French, know this. That is why they joined the alliance of Greece, Cyprus, and Israel against Turkey, in the desperate hope of intimidating Turkey—only for it to completely backfire on the French.😂
