The Turkish failed Coup

In Somaliland, As you go through the down towns of Somaliland and visit the ‘Tea-shops’ where the people always gather and discuss politics, you experience that the people of Somaliland are against any coup attempt to the democratically elected government of president Recep Tayyip Erdogan. They say that they have great value for the people of Turkey because of the historical ties between the two nations since the Ottoman Empire.
But on the other hand, the people of Somaliland are still searching the reason that Turkey is implementing substantial projects of investments in Somalia and neglecting Somaliland – the epicenter of the Turkish- East Africa historical relationship.
