Turkey brokers intra-Somalia talks as federal rifts test Ankara’s influence

Turkey is stepping up its efforts to broker talks within Somalia as tensions between federal institutions strain Ankara's influence. Puntland and Jubaland, key semi-autonomous regions, have reportedly opted out of these discussions, highlighting the challenges Ankara faces in supporting Somalia's federal framework. This diplomatic maneuver underscores Turkey's strategic interest in maintaining stability in Somalia, a country with significant regional and global implications. The outcome of these talks could shape the future dynamics of Somalia’s federal structure and Turkey’s role in the region.
