Good move.

Turkey should seek out the natural allies in Africa and strengthen these alliances and cooperations. In this case, the west cannot lodge any complaints, since they are ex-colonial masters and neocolonialism would be equivalent to interfering again in the internal affairs of African countries. In addition, Turkey is fairer in trade, and the necessary resources and investment opportunities are available in Africa.

I think that is what we're doing mate. Kudos for the way it's being done. I believe it's sustainable (Schools, Agriculture, health etc.)

Even this move will scare the hell out of enemies. Turkey has a built a good foundation for pursuing technological superiority in recent years and now it just needs resources to build it further. The reason our enemies are coming together against us in libya is not because of recent victory but because of all the resources Turkey can potentially tap into and the MB linked government in Libya would be more than happy to help Turkey build its strength with all those resources. This is how the western world made it to where they are today because of looting all those resources and they want to stop Turkey.

To do all that we need money, ressources. Plus having too many frontlines is very bad if we want to make a difference for peace.

However I think AKP and RTE approach to Somalia and support for GNA is paying off, also, as bad as it may sound turkish (not gonna say who) NGO approach or whatever you want to call it has been laying the groundwork for many years.

We should have a united voice and we should use our media outlets to denounce french colonialism. Everywhere we shohld go we should remind it and that should be our agenda. COLONIALISM cannot be accepted in 21st century. #StopFrenchColonialism

French genocide in Africa caused unspeakable pain and hardship to the poor people of the continent. I agree we should push the narrative of French atrocities and help African countries to seek compensation

It’s not a good idea to push for anything like that. You need to ensure a proper foundation on which the nation can grow upon.
