- African countries have become a central focus of Türkiye’s foreign policy, particularly in the areas of security and education, since the failed coup attempt of 15 July 2016 by the Fetullah Terrorist Organisation, FETO.
Following the defeated coup attempt, Ankara moved quickly to expand ties, building political, military, and counter-terrorism partnerships to dismantle FETO’s networks across the continent.
The main driver has been direct leader-to-leader diplomacy by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. The Turkish president presented evidence to African counterparts showing that FETO threatens not only Türkiye, but also the security and sovereignty of nations it infiltrates.
