Why is no one talking about Turkish involvement in Africa?
880 civilians killed by drones in the first four months of 2026 alone. More than 80% of all conflict deaths. Those drones are mostly Turkish.
Bayraktar TB2s. Akıncı UCAVs. Built in Istanbul. So many deaths as a result in Sudan. The Washington Post said $120 million in weapons transfers from Turkish defence company Baykar to Sudan's military. Turkish trainers were physically on the ground at Port Sudan when it was struck last May. Several were wounded and evacuated back to Turkey.
So why isn't it a bigger story? I feel just because Turkey is a NATO member this isnt reported. It controls NATO's southern flank. It manages Europe's migration flows. It mediates between Russia and Ukraine. Every Western government seems to think decided that picking a fight with Ankara over Sudan is too expensive.
