Some 250 Somali students have left for further studies in Turkey under a scholarship programme.
The students left Mogadishu on Sunday for Istanbul and came from different parts of Somalia, with most of them having qualified after being vetted online.
The Turkish Ambassador to Somalia, Dr Koni Torun, saw the students off and disclosed that the scholarship holders would be attending various universities.
One hundred and fifity students would be attending masters and doctoral studies, Dr Torun said, with the rest pursuing undergraduate courses.
Turkey has been offering humanitarian and development assistance to Somalia since its Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan visited the Somali capital Mogadishu in August 2011,
Last year, hundreds of Somali students benefited from Turkish scholarships.
In addition, there were diverse projects run and funded by Turkish institutions including schools, colleges and hospitals in Mogadishu.
Others are planned elsewhere in Somalia, according to Turkish diplomats in the Horn of Africa country.
All the 250 scholarship holders left aboard a Turkish Airlines plane.
"This is, nevertheless, another gesture to help Somalia recover from years of neglect,” said Dr Torun.
