Turkey and Africa after the Failed Coup

The Institute for Defense Analyses published on 20 October 2016 a commentary titled "Turkey and Africa after the Failed Coup" by George F. Ward.

The author concluded that the problem for Turkey in Africa is that Gulenist organizations have been the motors of the Turkish opening toward Africa. Without the support of Gulen, some Turkish businesspeople may be less likely to invest in Africa. In addition, President Erdogan may be too distracted by internal security concerns to invest much time in the relationship with Africa.
