The Turkish parliament passed a motion on Saturday for the deployment of Turkish Armed Forces elements to Somalia, including the maritime jurisdiction areas of the country.

Elements of the Turkish Armed Forces will be deployed in Somalia for two years to support Somalia's security activities against terrorism and other threats, according to the motion.

The move came after a defense and economic cooperation deal between Türkiye and Somalia signed in February, aiming at bolstering Somalia's maritime defense capabilities, said the motion.
