Last Updated On: May 05 2021 01:36 Gmt+3 Turkey has been accused by the Somalian opposition of interfering in the country’s electoral process and providing weapons to the armed forces of the president. It is the second time in less than two months that such an accusation has been made. On March 22, sources with access to the Defence Ministry told MENAFN that Turkey had sent a shipment of weapons and armoured vehicles to Somalia with the purpose of arming Turkish-trained special forces. The move would be considered provocative, as the special forces have been known to interfere in the country’s elections on the side of Somalian President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed (referred to as “Farmajo”.)
