The issue that US President Trump always speaks about the Somali people and their system of government is sensitive and needs to be viewed in a balanced way. It is not something that can be directly attributed to one reason, but there are several factors that have come together.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump’s statements and Somalis.<\/p>\n

On various occasions, especially during his time in office, Trump has made statements about countries including Somalia, which were related to:<\/p>\n

Security and terrorism<\/p>\n

Immigration and travel bans<\/p>\n

His general view on low-income countries<\/p>\n

Most of these statements were aimed at domestic politics in the United States, in order to gain support from specific people.<\/p>\n

US Interests in Somalia<\/p>\n

The US has several interests in Somalia:<\/p>\n

Security: Combating Al-Shabaab<\/p>\n

Strategy: Somalia is located on a key waterway (Red Sea and Indian Ocean)<\/p>\n

Resources: Although yet to be fully confirmed, there are suspicions of oil and other resources<\/p>\n

As such, the US is constantly operating inside Somalia\u2014military, intelligence, and political.<\/p>\n

Turkey and Somalia: A Strengthening Relationship<\/p>\n

Turkey has become a major ally of Somalia:<\/p>\n

Building infrastructure (airport, port)<\/p>\n

Training troops (TURKSOM base)<\/p>\n

Investment and humanitarian aid<\/p>\n

This has made Somalia a meeting point for diverse international interests.<\/p>\n

Is there no US-Turkish \u201cunderground war\u201d in Somalia?<\/p>\n

Officially:<\/p>\n

The United States and Turkey are NATO allies<\/p>\n

Both work together on security issues<\/p>\n

But strategically:<\/p>\n

There may be an influence competition<\/p>\n

Turkey has focused on \u201csoft power\u201d (development, economy)<\/p>\n

The United States has focused on \u201chard power\u201d (military, security)<\/p>\n

This may seem like a \u201clow-level war,\u201d but it is actually a competition for influence\u2014not an outright war.<\/p>\n

Somalia\u2019s resources: fact or fiction?<\/p>\n

There are reports that:<\/p>\n

Oil off the coast of Somalia<\/p>\n

Other natural resources<\/p>\n

But:<\/p>\n

Most of it is not yet fully confirmed<\/p>\n

Many countries are interested (not just the United States)<\/p>\n

Therefore, saying that Trump is \u201cgoing for the resources\u201d is a theory that can be said to be possible, but there is no full and official proof.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/p>\n

Trump’s remarks on Somalia have mostly been related to domestic US politics<\/p>\n

The US has security and strategic interests in Somalia<\/p>\n

Turkey has built a strong development influence<\/p>\n

There may be a competition for influence, but not a formal covert war<\/p>\n

The issue of resources is a matter of debate, but has not yet been clearly established.<\/p>\n
