Download The Global Jigsaw: Turkey's foothold in Africa
A dive into the narratives surrounding Turkey’s ambitions in Africa, where Ankara is touting itself as a “non-colonising” alternative to Western powers.

We ask what sets Turkey apart from other foreign powers vying for influence on the continent, and what its distinctive approach has achieved.
