Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan carried out a short African tour from 20-23 February. This visit, the second to the region in four months, took the Turkish leader to the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and Senegal. By now, President Erdogan has visited over 30 African states, not counting repeat visits.
The Recent Tour
Ankara has stepped up its initiatives regarding Africa in recent months. In October 2021, President Erdogan carried out a four-day tour to three African countries: Angola, Nigeria and Togo. Two months later, in December, Istanbul hosted the Third Turkey-Africa Partnership Summit, which was attended by 16 African heads of state. Now, the Turkish president has returned to Africa once again.
