Listen "Is Turkey outplaying Egypt and the US in the Horn of Africa?"
Episode Synopsis
For many, it seems Turkey’s Erdogan is coming out as the big winner in Syria. But looking beyond the Middle East, it seems Ankara is also emerging as a winner in another arena - in the Horn of Africa. Its recent role in mediating a deal between Ethiopia and Somalia demonstrates Ankara’s growing assertiveness on the world stage, and is a clear message to Egypt and even Washington. Mariam Wahba, a research analyst at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, joins Thanos Davelis to break down whether Turkey has outplayed Egypt and the US in the Horn of Africa.
