Türkiye: Claim of 15,000 Troops to Somalia Is False

Türkiye’s Ministry of National Defence responded to claims that 15,000 troops would be sent to Somalia.
The ministry said the Somali-Turkish Task Force and the Air Element Command stationed in Somalia continue to contribute to developing Somalia’s counter-terrorism capacity through military aid, training and advisory activities.
It added that claims Türkiye would send 15,000 troops to Somalia at Somalia’s request do not reflect the facts.
