What makes Erdogan's Africa tour so significant?

A handout picture taken and released on January 26, 2020 by the Turkish Presidential Press service shows Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune as they hold a joint press conference following their meeting at the Presidential Office in Algiers.

Following the meeting with his Algerian counterpart Abdelmadjid Tebboune, Erdogan said: “The Libyan crisis would not be resolved through military means. While Haftar forces are backed by Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, France and Russian mercenaries, Turkey backs Fayez al Sarraj’s internationally-recognised GNA.

Algerian-Turkish trade at the end of 2019 exceeded $4 billion, as two countries eye a trading volume of $5 billion. The Gambia will be the 28th country in the 49 visits to Africa that Erdogan has held during his terms as prime minister and president.Since the 2010s, the relations between Turkey and Senegal, a leading country in Francophone Africa, have been constantly growing.
