Angola’s goal is for foreign investors to accelerate the transformation of the economy and trade between the two countries. In addition, they want to reduce unemployment and export labour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Turkish investors will be protected by law following an agreement signed between Angola and Turkey. Development and investments are therefore expected in the field of fisheries, agriculture, natural resources, energy, infrastructure, transport, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The President of Turkey will visit Angola in October with many businessmen. At the same time, Turkey is selling military equipment to Kenya. Defense equipment company Katmerciler AS signed a $ 91.4m contract. with the Ministry of Defense of Kenya which will include a wheeled armored vehicle HIZIR (118 in number) along with spare parts and maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How the geopolitical influence of one country towards other countries is created<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the above paragraphs, what stands out is that Turkey is gradually increasing its geopolitical influence on the African continent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It first enters through the construction of public works, the expansion of commercial transactions and the construction of windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the second stage comes the military presence through the sale of defense equipment, training of the country’s Armed Forces and the creation of Turkish military bases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the third stage, the creation and installation in the country of branches of Turkish mercenary companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the fourth and last stage, the dependence of any African country in all the above areas on Turkey is achieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Such a situation translates as the mortgaging of the political will and vote in various international organizations of these countries\u2019 vis-vis Turkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will in the future create political power for Turkey, Turkish control of the countries of the Organization of the Islamic Conference on the African continent, and the creation by Turkey of an entire army of thousands of Turkish-loving African mercenaries to be transported by Turkey to various war fronts that Turkey chooses each time (Libya, Syria, Armenia, etc.).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
