“90% Giveaway”: Somalia’s Oil Surrender to Turkey Sparks Outrage in Parliament

The Federal Parliament of Somalia has been rocked by an explosive declaration from MP Dr. Abdillahi Hashi Abib, who publicly accused President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud and Speaker Sheikh Adan Madobe of surrendering 90% of Somalia’s oil and gas wealth to Turkey in a secretive deal that he claims undermines the very sovereignty of the nation.
Standing before the House of the People, Dr. Hashi, a respected member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, revealed that a whistleblower from inside Villa Somalia had furnished him with credible documentation showing both the President and Speaker gave their approval to a deeply controversial hydrocarbons agreement that grants Turkey the lion’s share of Somalia’s natural resources — leaving the Somali people with only a token 10%.
He further disclosed that the President is reported to have defended the lopsided agreement as being “in the best interest of the nation,” a justification that Dr. Hashi forcefully condemned as “a veiled act of neo-colonialism.”
But the accusations don’t stop there. Dr. Hashi warned that in the coming days, he will release notarized documents showing that Ziraat Bank of Turkey violated Somali banking laws, operating under the radar with what appears to be unauthorized coordination with the Central Bank of Somalia.
The implications are staggering. If substantiated, this agreement not only strips Somalia of control over its future economic engine but also potentially violates constitutional procedures, sovereignty norms, and economic governance principles.
Dr. Hashi’s rallying cry was blunt:
“Have the President and the Speaker fulfilled their solemn constitutional oaths to safeguard the interests and sovereignty of the Federal Republic of Somalia?”
Public outrage is mounting. Many in Mogadishu and the wider Somali diaspora are now calling for an emergency parliamentary investigation. Critics are framing the deal as an act of economic treason—a continuation of foreign domination disguised as partnership.
With his final words, Dr. Hashi warned:
“Stay vigilant. The truth will be revealed.”
The Somali public is waiting — and the storm is just beginning.
