Another reason Turkish series are popular in Somalia is likely because the characters are mostly Muslim and therefore easier for Somalis to relate to than those from Bollywood or Hollywood, the channel said on its website. Turkish series are also popular because they run for months, or even years, thus providing a regular source of entertainment.
Somali production companies have also taken advantage of the opportunities offered by downloading series from the internet, re-editing them and adding Somali voiceovers, before selling them to local TV stations.
Mohamed Abdulqadir, a voice actor and Somali translator, explained that the main focus of the company he works for is Turkish shows.
"Somalis love Turkish films and they are more interested when it's aired in Somali language. Our job is to translate for them." he said.
His manager, Mohamed Abukar, agreed the demand for Turkish series is huge.
