Turkish intervention in Somalia and trying to control all the Somalis

The trade union stated that the Turkish Favori Company has paid bribes to influential officials in Mogadishu, including federal ministers.

In a statement Friday, February 12, 2021, the Somali Workers Union accused some senior government officials, including ministers, of receiving bribes from the Turkish company Favori, which holds a contract to operate Mogadishu International Airport.

The union expressed that government officials and ministers obtained paid vacations in the most prestigious Turkish tourist resorts and free business class tickets from the Favori Company in exchange for their silence about the violations that the Turkish company practices against the rights of Somali workers.

The Syndicate accused the Minister of Justice, "Abdul Qadir Nur Jameh" of interfering in the union's efforts by filing cases against the Turkish company, so that the minister prevented the opening of this file by using his powers and links to the Somali and Turkish governments.

According to the union, the Turkish company has used the Corona pandemic to lay off some workers without giving their rights and intimidating others.
