"Fethullah Gulen denied involvement in the coup attempt and has condemned it. He was a former ally of Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, but had a falling out years ago. Gulen now lives in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. His movement advocates service and interfaith dialogue and has millions of adherents in Turkey and abroad."
Keep in mind this too.
"Somalia will likely have suffered had the coup succeeded, as Turkey provided about $25 million a year in aid.
Omer said the Turkish people and their government have provided Somali close to one billion dollars’ worth of aid, investment and infrastructure rebuilding since 2011.
“It’s very important for us to stand with Turkey, it’s a big country, and they are our friends.”
He said President Erdogan’s visit to Mogadishu on August 2011 has “opened the eyes of the world toward Somalia” following the deadly famine.
Since 2011 Erdogan visited Somalia three times, including a trip last month to Mogadishu where he inaugurated what was said to be the largest Turkish Embassy in the world.
Turkey has also refurbished Mogadishu’s sea and airport and has built schools and hospitals as well as roads in Mogadishu. Several thousand Somalis are studying in Turkish schools under sponsorships by charities."
Was it a haste decision to close the Gullen projects or Real Politic reigns supreme here and demanded it? Discuss.
isn't it amazing that the citizens of Turkey rose up against the coup?? Wow. Talk about a people who LOVE their country. I think government will gain respect in the Muslim countries--Somalia included going forward. People are tired of taking over government. A bad government is better than NO government.
