Hours earlier early friday morning, f16 fighters jeghts bombed syriafighters jetsbombed from turkish bases. Turkish Prime Minister ahmed dabatolo aired a familiar rea refrain. Whoever poses a threat to the borders of the republic of turkey they would be responded to accordingly without any further notice. We have lost one of our Army Officers and a number of police officers. It is certain that the murderers will be punished without a doubt. Reporter but when asked if turkey would open its air bases and stations to u. S. And Coalition Forces, which would be a major tactical shift the Prime Minister was not nearly as definitive. The Incirlik Air Base matters are a separate issue altogether. When it comes to the matter of safety and security, turkey takes those decisions by itself. In turkey its been a week of attacks and anxiety one in which the threat from the Islamic State of iraq and the levant has never been felt as keenly. On monday a suicide bomber killed 32 people in suruc. An attack that inspired anger. Officials in turkey were quick to blame i. S. I. L.

Reporter the Obama Administration is welcoming turkeys decision to allow the u. S. To use bases in turkey, namely the inns Incirlik Air Base. Right now they are having to fly from much farther distances in the gulf as well as from aircraft carriers outside saudi arabia in order to reach those targets. They say this is going to make the efforts of trying to degrade i. S. I. L. Targets an operations much easier. Now, whats not clear is what actually happened in the negotiations between the u. S. And the be turkish authorities to allow these air bases to be used. The turkish have wanted to create a buffer zone inside syria in order to protect its territory from i. S. I. L. Its also wanted to establish a no fly zone something which u. S. Officials also said would be problematic at best and probably extremely difficult to carry out at worst. And then theres also the question of whether the u. S. Is making any inducements or offering any inducements to the turkish government because they have apparently backed away from their demand that the fight against i. S. I. L. Be expanded into an overall fight against the government of bashar alassad, someone whom the turkish government considers an enemy of their country. For the moment the Obama Administration says this is a shoring up of the forces the Coalition Forces against i. S. I. L. But it may come out in coming days just exactly what the turkish government is getting in exchange for allowing a key military installation to be used in this fight against i. S. I. L. Rosalyn jordan in washington d. C. Defense secretary ash carter made an unannounced visit to iraqs kurdistan district today. A day after he met with u. S. Troops in baghdad.

Kurdish have pushed back the group in their province of iraq. Twin car bombs against iraqi forces, killing at least 77. Also officials were killed in air strikes overnight. More than 100 iraqi and shia force he were killed in a suicide bombing near fallujah. And iraqs top cleric called grand ayatollah Ali Al Sistani urged attacks against women and children. Mark kimmet is a u. S. Army Brigadier General he joins us via skype from baghdad. Lets start with turkey. How significant is it that the turks are finally conducting their own Bombing Missions . I think its very important for quite some time the u. S. Has been concerned about not only turkeys action he to at least not stop i. S. I. L. But stop i. S. I. L. From operating in that area, use of bases and bringing in turkey with their very, very experienced pilots gives us a better platform to operate from than simply the bases we have been operating from. Much closer to syria and northern iraq. Critical of people not flowing through intoob syria to join i. S. I. L. And having its forces watch from across the border as i. S. I. L. Attacked kobani. Why do you think theyre finally acting now . Well, i think first thing is that they did not act prior to this, because they always saw assad as the larger threat. They saw i. S. I. S. As a symptom but assad was the disease. I. S. I. S. Was a creation, reacting to assad. And they were always trying, they the turks were always trying to get the United States and others to realize that i. S. I. S. Isnt the probe that assad is the problem. But isnt the problem assad is the problem. After we saw the attack in suruc where 32 turks were killed, and there is a belief that there is an internal threat from i. S. I. S that be i. S. I. S. May be a problem from the other side of the border and now a problem within their own borders and an be beand an existential threat. I think what turkey is finally realizing is this policy they had of assad first i. S. I. S. Second has now got to be reversed. They have got to go against i. S. I. S. First and worry about assad second. One of their concerns for the turks, their own kurdish opposition, allowing i. S. I. L. To fight kurds in syria and iraq looking at i. S. I. L. As an enemy of my enemy situation but they bombed some pkk kurdish positions in northern iraq. Its a confusing and complicated situation there. Again, the problem is that the kurdish fighters who have been fighting i. S. I. S. Have been complaining for quite some time that turkey is allowing more and more i. S. I. S. Fighters to flow inside to kill kurdish fighters and as a result they had to deal with that problem themselves. They had to appease the kurdish government out of erbil but killing their own people. Because of the very large kurdish population inside turkey was not quite happy to see the number of kurds that were being killed by i. S. I. S. They finally had to do something against i. S. I. S. And suruc provided the catalyst for that action. You are in iraq, defense secretary ash carter have ited this week. How much progress are iraqi forces make right now especially in Anbar Province trying to retake it . Well, were starting to see the first of the coalition trained iraqi forces being introduced into the fight around ramadi and habanea. Its still too early to say theres forward progress. Theyre in the shaping phase to retake ramadi. Iraqi forces have not at least given up ground, we have to wait a few more weeks before we see steady progress but the shaping process the preparation of the battlefield going on right now by both the Turkish Military consume the Iraqi Military iraqi police and the Popular Mobilization forces, they seem to get the chess piece necessary place and we hope progress to be made in the town of ramadi itself.

President obama rierves in arrives in kenya, the key issues he plans to focus on during his visit to africa. And burundis president after his controversial reelection. In context tonight president obamas historic trip to kenya. Its his first visit to his fathers home land since he was elected. While the president will attend an economic summit he will also discuss with his family members. First sitting u. S. President ever to visit kenya. More than that, barack obama in the eyes of kenyans is finally coming home. Strictly speaking its his fathers home land but in the euphoric atmosphere here most kenyans feel americas first black president is like no other politician on earth. They relate to him. First a handshake for kenyas president uhuru kenyatta. The first president to be charged at the icc in the hague but then cleared. This was nairobis skyline as u. S. Forces moved in. The americans had been monitoring all air space in kenya along with neighboring somalia. It may not seem like it with last minute makeovers but kenya is experiencing a security operation like no other. Any personal fulfillment president obama may have in being here will be tinged with a time line of human loss in kenya though. From al qaedas 1998 bombing of the u. S. Embassy in nairobi in which 200 kenyans and 12 americans died, the al shabaab attack ton onto westgate Shopping Mall to al shabaabs be attack on the Garissa University only a few months ago. We need more participation of the u. S. More training of our special forces by the u. S. In the lead up to the visit Westgate Mall has reopened. No memorials to the dead here. This is intended to be a defiant move to show normality. But dispiets despite some improvements to security, kenyans are i still skeptical. They will be looking to a u. S. President with kenyan roots for help. He has said he will speak bluntly to kenyans politicians. He wont be traveling to kegelo, the west kenyan village where his father was born. His half sister alma greeted him at the airport and got in the back of his limousine to drive out. Andrew simmons, al jazeera nairobi. President obama will open a global summit tomorrow, one of the Biggest Challenges involves improving security especially in kenya. Be Patricia Sabga hasPatricia Sabga has more. Marking the first visit of a sitting u. S. President and the first to his fathers home land since becoming president. Kenya was the home of the president s father. He still has relatives there so there is a strong emotional tie of the president but clearly its a very strategic trip. Reporter ken yah is on the front lines of the fight against al shabaab. An al qaeda affiliate based in somalia thats carried out over 100 attacks in somalia since 2011 including a three day siege in Westgate Mall in 2013 and the massacre of 148 people at Garissa University this past april. But the response by kenyas Security Services including alleged extra judicial killings harassment and detention of muslims is viewed by many as counterproductive to regional security. Its really important for kenyan government to realize that the radicalization is not only happening in somalia but is hang also in kenya. And that there is another approach needed, one that engages more with the communities that are most at risk of being radicalized. Reporter concerns over human rights abuses, crack downs on media and Civil Society prompted writing to president obama and urging him to put these at the forefront of his discussions. Bomb said he would address them candidly stressing Good Governance as the basis of Economic Growth on a continent that boasts many of the Fastest Growing economies on the planet and which kenya is emerging as a key gateway. It is an engine of the East African Community creating a Common Market that is large enough in scale to attract major interests in direct investment in trade. Reporter and in the interest of a president keen to unlock the potential of a country and a continent his forefathers called home. Patricia sabga, al jazeera. While in kenya the president says he will also talk about lgbt rights. Many african countries have laws against homosexuality. In kenya its punishable with time in prison. He told the bbc he still plans to bring up the issue. Be u. S. Ambassador to nigeria and sowrveg. South africa. How important is this trip . The trip is important because africa has been looking for this high level visible attention from the Obama Administration. A lot of things have been going on, its been a very strong policy in africa under the Obama Administration. In security and democracy and antiaids programs, et cetera. But they had expected this high visibility and the president s been consumed with other issues. So this trip is very important to reassure africa that africa is a high priority for this administration. And china has made major inroads in africa. So by going over there with a large contingent of business people, is the president sending a clear message . I think economics have become an increasingly important part of of the administrations approach. Youll note in the u. S. Africas summit last month there was a great deal of attention on investment possibilities and power africa et cetera, so thats to take advantage of the fact that as your report said, african countries have been growing faster than many other countries in the world. But another facet of the u. S. Administrations concern has been africas growing importance in security issues. Not only al shabaab but al qaeda in the magreb, the repercussions of libya and egypt so that security now also ranks very high in the administrations priorities on the continent. And kenya and ethiopia are very important in this regard. Right because you do have al qaeda in the magreb, you have al shabaab in somalia which has carried out these terrible attacks in kenya you have boko haram in nigeria, also attacking chad cameroon niger. The new nigerian president Muhammadu Buhari just visited be america. But its aiding and abetting nigeria by not allowing the weapons to fight the group is that security an overwhelming one . That visit went extremely well. He was very, very pleased with the visit. There was one unfortunate section in his speech i think written by someone else, raising the old issue of support to the nigerian military. We are legitimately, the United States legitimately concerned about some of the Human Rights Violations of the Nigerian Security forces. And i would point out that president buhari one of the first things he has done has been to replace the leaders of all three Major Services as well as name a new National Security advisor. So i think that comment does not reflect the overall visit. I was three at the speech and interviewed him while he was there and i know he came away very pleased. Now without security in the region though, is subshoornl africasubsaharanafrica going to be able to attract the kind of investment the area needs and wants . There youve pointed out some, we still have a terrible terrible conflict in south sudan, we have Foreign Investment opportunities thats true in tanzania mozambique, and i think youll see more attention to nigeria with a very successful democratic election
