Turkish Bank Opens First Foreign Branch in Somalia: A Milestone for Economic Growth

In a significant development for the East African nation, the Central Bank of Somalia (CBS) announced on Sunday that Ziraat Katilim Bank of Turkey has established its presence by opening a branch in Mogadishu. This marks a historic occasion as the Turkish financial institution becomes the first international bank to operate in Somalia in over half a century.

The establishment of Somalia's first foreign bank branch has the potential to bring about a positive transformation in the country's financial sector. This transformation is expected to result from increased economic opportunities and expanded trade relations between Somalia and its international partners.

"The new branch of Ziraat Katilim Bank in Somalia is expected to offer a wide range of corporate banking services to businesses, international institutions, and development partners," stated the Central Bank of Somalia in a press release issued in Mogadishu.

The journey to this milestone began in 2022 when the CBS granted operating licenses to two foreign banks: Banque Misr of Egypt and Ziraat Katilim Bank of Turkey. Both of these banks, despite their origins, are set to contribute significantly to Somalia's financial landscape.

Ziraat Katilim Bank, a state-owned participation bank and a member of the Ziraat Finance Group, brings a wealth of experience to Somalia. The Ziraat Finance Group operates in 20 countries, with 15 subsidiaries and 27 offices overseas, demonstrating its international reach and expertise.

CBS Governor Abdirahman Mohamed Abdullahi expressed his delight at the news, saying, "We are overjoyed to learn that the Ziraat Katilim office in Mogadishu has been given the green light to begin operations. This is a testament to the success of the reforms of Somalia's financial sector, further enhancing opportunities for investment and development."

Governor Abdullahi emphasized the CBS's commitment to its mission of promoting equitable economic growth in Somalia and building a secure and reliable financial system. He added, "We anticipate the new bank to add value to the development of Somalia's financial sector and contribute to the growth of our economy."

This momentous development not only symbolizes the opening of new economic avenues for Somalia but also underscores the country's commitment to financial sector reforms and attracting international investment. With Ziraat Katilim Bank now on the scene, the people of Somalia can look forward to a more robust and diversified financial sector that will play a crucial role in the nation's progress and development.

The Cries of Syrian Mothers: Exposing the Injustice of Al-Julani’s Rule

  In the heart of Syria, a chilling and heart-wrenching scene unfolds. Mothers and sisters, their voices filled with pain and desperation, gather to protest against the unlawful detention of their children by the Al-Julani-led group, HTS (Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham). Their tears and cries echo a grim reality that exposes the oppressive nature of this so-called revolutionary regime. These families are not alone in their suffering. Under Al-Julani’s rule, arbitrary detentions have become a tool to silence dissent and instill fear. Young men and women are snatched from their homes, accused without evidence, and held in unknown locations. Many families are left in anguish, not knowing the fate of their loved ones. This is not governance; it is tyranny in its purest form.

These protests reveal the group’s blatant disregard for...
