Turkey Vs Israel ‘war’ erupts as world watches Venezuela: Erdogan moves after Bibi's Somaliland step
Published on Jan 08, 2026 02:01 AM IST
While global attention remains fixed on U.S. confrontations with Venezuela, Iran, and Greenland, a quieter but highly consequential geopolitical rivalry is unfolding across Africa between Turkey and Israel. Ankara has declared Africa a core national security priority, expanding its intelligence, military, and economic footprint from the Sahel to the Horn of Africa through drones, security pacts, and infrastructure investment. Tensions are now escalating after Israel became the first country to recognize Somaliland as an independent state—a move condemned by Somalia and opposed by Turkey, Egypt, and Djibouti. This emerging power struggle highlights a new “Great Game” in Africa, reshaping regional alliances, Red Sea security, and the balance of influence across the continent.
