The Voice of America published on 7 November 2017 an article titled "Trade, Politics, Religion Draw Turkey to Sub-Saharan Africa" by Salem Solomon and Hilmi Hacaloglu.
The article, which draws on my comments, points out that Turkey has significantly expanded it ties with Sub-Saharan Africa in recent years. This initiative may not, however, extend beyond the Erdogan presidency, especially if there is a weakening in Turkey's economy.
