Speaking to the Zaman daily last week, African Union President and Equatorial Guinea Foreign Minister Eustaquio Nseng Esono said that Africa could solve its current problems only through education and that the number of Turkish schools in various countries in Africa should be increased. "While Europe closed its embassies, Turkey opened schools in Africa. It has showed our people how to catch fish. Our need for these schools has increased. We aren't satisfied by the current number of schools, and thus we would like to see that Turkish schools are opened in all provinces in all African countries," said Esono. Stating that they won't forget the aid efforts of Turkey aimed at helping the Somali people in fighting famine, Esono said they were ready to help Turkey any time when it is necessary and that the Turkish-African partnership would last forever.
