Arrival of 2 Akinci drones in Somalia and the pro-Turkey defence minister has been sacked.
The timeline is interesting here. Turkey did not sell any gear to Somalia for over a year plus and the second a sale was approved, the defence minister was immediately replaced. He was also repositioned to the Ministry of Ports, a role that will have lots of contact with the Turks once the naval deal is implemented.
UAE's president also immediately called Villa Somalia once the drones landed and their foreign minister came to Mogadishu on an unplanned visit the next day.
Seems like there's lots of events down the pipeline for Somalia in these upcoming weeks. Let's see.
