 No good deed goes unpunished.  A Florida sea tow captain saved a man from a burning ship only to be shoved overboard and have his boat stolen. This shocking incident occurred near Marco Island on March 6th. On that date, a call went out regarding a burning boat. The captain of a sea tow boat heard the distress call and rushed to provide aid. He was able to quickly locate the burning boat and  discovered 40-year-old, Ryan Deiter, and his dog onboard the burning ship. Wasting no time, the captain of the sea tow boat was able to maneuver alongside the distressed boat and begin efforts to extricate Deiter and his dog from the doomed vessel.  Eventually, the sea tow captain was able to pull both Deiter and his dog onboard the tow boat. However, once Deiter was pulled to safety, he repaid a stranger's kindness with treachery.  Deiter shoved the captain from his own boat and fled the scene in the stolen boat, leaving the man who had just risked his own vessel and life...

 Türkiye, Somalia to cooperate in fisheries sector


Türkiye’s industrial group OYAK and Somalia’s Fisheries and Blue Economy Ministry on Wednesday signed a strategic cooperation and services agreement to cooperate in the fisheries sector.


The signing ceremony, held at OYAK headquarters in the capital Ankara, was attended by Turkish National Defense Minister Yasar Guler, Somali Ports and Marine Transport Minister Abdulkadir Mohamed Nur, Somali Fisheries and Blue Economy Minister Ahmed Hassan Aden, Turkish Chief of General Staff Gen. Selcuk Bayraktaroglu, OYAK Chair Zekai Aksakalli, and Murat Yalcintas, the CEO of OYAK.


The agreement aims to ensure that fisheries activities in Somalia are carried out under a centralized, sustainable, and fully registered framework, Anadolu Agency reported.


As part of the agreement, SOMTURK, a company established within this framework, will be responsible for managing all licensing processes related to fisheries activities in Somalia’s exclusive economic zone. Fishing permits in Somali territorial waters will be issued exclusively by SOMTURK.


The agreement will enable the sustainable use of Somalia’s rich marine resources while also providing the Turkish fisheries sector with access to Somali waters, which are considered among the world’s most abundant fish reserves.


In addition to strengthening economic, commercial, and technical cooperation between the two countries, the agreement is expected to establish a revenue model supporting the sustainable return objectives of OYAK, which operates as a complementary pension fund.


It also aims to increase employment through the development of fish processing and supporting activities, strengthen the local economy, and ensure that the added value generated is reflected in the welfare of the Somali people.


In a statement on US social media platform X, Nur hailed the agreement as a “milestone (that) reflects the strong partnership and mutual trust between our two sides, and underscores our shared commitment to sustainable development and economic cooperation.”


He said the agreement will unlock the potential of marine resources, boost the blue economy, create jobs for thousands of young people, and lay the foundation for long-term growth and poverty reduction.


Somalia has enjoyed close economic, diplomatic, and military ties with Türkiye since President (then-Prime Minister) Recep Tayyip Erdogan visited Somalia in 2011 – the first non-African leader to do so in over 20 years.


Türkiye has strong historical ties with Somalia on the principle of “win-win” relations, including more than 150 development aid projects carried out by the Turkish Cooperation and Coordination Agency (TIKA) since 2011.


Türkiye also has its largest embassy in Africa in Mogadishu and built its largest overseas military facility there to train the Somali National Army.
