Le Monde Afrique

Thank you for your interest in our company. I will try to provide comprehensive answers to the questions you ask. Please do not hesitate to ask more if you deem necessary.

Although there are many news stories about our company, 90% of them are made without contacting us and without investigating the truth of the matter. Therefore, such news contains completely unrealistic claims. For this reason, I would like to emphasize that I find it admirable that you display real journalistic behavior, compared to the news that other French news agencies have made without questioning its reality.

I only had the opportunity to reply to your e-mail now as we were on a business trip during the week. I hope it's not too late.

When you come to Turkiye, I would like to host you in our company.

First of all, I would like to give information about SADAT's field of activity and facts about SADAT;

SADAT Defense, provides consultancy, training and logistics services to armed forces and security forces in the field of defense and security according to the Turkish Commercial Code. SADAT was founded in 2012 by Retired General Adnan TANRIVERDİ as a commercial entity with the status of a Incorporated Company.

In 2016, Adnan Tanrıverdi resigned from the management of the company as he was appointed as the Presidential Chief Advisor and a member of the Security and Foreign Policies Board.

I find it useful to explain some of the issues in this sentence. Because SADAT Defense is a company with ethical values and a mission and vision that operates by adhering to its founding philosophy .

1)SADAT Defense provides services to the armed forces and security forces of states.

SADAT does not provide services to non-state actors such as terrorist organizations, paramilitary organizations, companies and individuals (even retired soldiers or security guards).

SADAT Defense is not a paramilitary organization. It has no armed force. It does not assume the duties of the armed forces and/or security forces directly or indirectly. SADAT does not provide homeland defense or venue security services. In other words, SADAT does not operate as a main or subcontractor in the primary duties of the armed forces or security forces.

2) In order to understand SADAT's mission and vision correctly, it is necessary to first understand SADAT's founding philosophy. Please kindly do not continue reading the answers to your questions without fully reviewing our founding philosophy, linked below. When the founding philosophy cannot be understood, it is completely disconnected from the context of the subject.

SADAT Defense, as a Commercial Company that prioritizes service, aspires to solve the Defense problems of our friends.

Adnan Tanriverdi

Retired General

The mission of SADAT Defense is to create an environment of defense and defense industry cooperation among Islamic Countries by providing services in the fields of strategic consultancy, special defense and security training and logistics for the organization of the Armed Forces and Internal Security Forces in the international arena, and to create an environment of defense and defense industry cooperation among Islamic Countries and to enable the Islamic World to become a self-sufficient military power. To help it take its rightful place among the World Super Powers.

3) SADAT Defense offers strategic consultancy, special training and logistics services.

To give an example, SADAT Defense can establish a country's Special Forces from scratch. The planning and structuring phase of this study falls within the scope of consultancy services, the training of staff and trainers falls within the scope of training services, and the planning, project design and construction of barracks activities fall within the scope of logistics services.

Another example is; SADAT Defense establishes Military Standardization and Metrology Centers in countries requesting. Consultancy services such as designing the organization chart of this center in accordance with the country, preparing job descriptions, determining the qualifications of the staff, etc.; training of staff training service; Procurement of the center's information system, software and hardware, logistics services; falls within its scope.

Likewise, SADAT Defense produces Integrated Border Security Solutions. In this solution package; Issues such as analysis of threats at country borders, planning and project design are included in our consultancy services, construction of outposts along the borders for border security, surveillance, early warning systems, command and control systems, equipping with integrated weapon systems are included in our logistics services, and training of country personnel involved are within the scope of our training services.

4) SADAT Defense aims to guarantee a peaceful environment and increase the defense capacity and deterrent power of countries with the services it provides. In this context, SADAT Defense provides strategic consultancy services to countries on effectively using their existing defense and security capacity, producing projects to complete their deficiencies, maintaining peace and having a deterrent force to prevent conflict. SADAT has never provided service to conflict zones.

SADAT has no activities in Syria, Libya, Azerbaijan, Burkina Faso, Niger and Mali. It only offered a military sport - pentathlon facility project included Olympic pool for Libya in 2012-2013, but when the Libya crisis started, it had to withdraw before signing the contract. We have not had any activities in the other 5 countries so far.

5) SADAT Defense prefers to act in accordance with the dictates of this word;

If you want to do a favor to someone, don't give them a fish, teach them how to fish.

COMING TO YOUR QUESTIONS ;

1) Does SADAT provide services to the governments of Niger, Mali or Burkina Faso? If so, which ones?

We do not sell services to any of these states. Moreover, SADAT has not provided services to any other French-speaking state in Africa so far. We realized again that this is a major deficiency for SADAT, but unfortunately we do not have an expert fluent in French.

We Turks are known for their honesty and manhood

If you pay attention, on our website we declare with great clarity our founding philosophy, our vision and our mission, as well as the consultancy and training issues that fall within our scope of service, without hesitation from anyone who criticizes us. We do not round it up and hide it with the words import - export - trade, like many companies. We carry out our activities effectively and in accordance with both local and international legislation. Rest assured, if we are doing something, we will not hesitate to come out and say it openly.

A Fairer World is Possible!

If the UN Conventions alone are not enough to make the whole world more fair, there is something missing here. Asia and Africa have realized that they need to save their resources from exploitation in order to reach their rightful place in a fair world. This awakening has revealed the need for many states in Asia and Africa for the consultancy and training services that SADAT will provide in the field of defense and security.

SADAT is ready if needed

If Burkina Faso, Niger and Mali need SADAT, we will solve our language problem as soon as possible. Let them invite us and we will explain our service capacity. Our claim is that; Considering the price/performance balance, they cannot receive the consultancy and training services they receive from SADAT from other companies at more affordable prices.

2) If not, have there been any discussions or contacts between your company and some of these governments? If so, can you give us details on them?

These events have revealed that we must enter this market as soon as possible by adding an expert fluent in French by the end of 2025 at the latest. It seems that we are now known, even if we are misunderstood, in these countries where we have no activity. A PR has developed outside of us. It will be necessary to take quick action to turn this PR opportunity into advantage. Our website had Turkish - English and Arabic content. It seems wise to start by adding French to this and then greet the market by translating our promotional materials into French.

3) Some sources told us that some SADAT's elements have been deployed in Mali (to furnish a personal security to the colonel Assimi Goïta , president of the transition), and in Niger ( in order to help Niger security forces to use military equipment recently acquired by the Niger government from Turkish arms companies to fight terrorism). Do you confirm it?

We do not have contacts or trade with governments, companies or individuals in these countries. I think you need to review your news sources. When you ask your news sources to document their claims, you will see that all the claims are unfounded.

On the other hand, if we really had operations in these countries, I think you would be conducting this interview with a Turk in French, not English? Since you did not send your questions in French, I conclude that you also do not believe in the reliability of your sources.

Also, for example, if we enter Mali, we would not provide personal security services, instead we would carry out activities to increase local capacity by providing VIP protection training.

But we did not have any activities in either Mali or Niger.

4) According to the Russian telegram channel Gray Zone, negotiations have taken place between your company and the government of Burkina Faso for the deployment of certain SADAT activities in their country. Do you confirm?

We have not had any meetings with the Burkina Faso government. We plan to take action in our 2025 marketing plan to introduce our Outpost and Integrated Electronic Border Security Solutions for consultancy, training and Border Security for the reorganization and modernization of the armed forces of Burkina Faso and other Francophone countries.

5) Does SADAT work in partnership / cooperation with some of these Turkish companies: Nurol Makina, Baykar , Turkish Aerospace industries, Roketsan ?

Although we do not have partnerships or collaborations with these companies, we consider it our duty to direct our customer states to Turkish Defense Industry products, which have become shining stars in recent times and have proven their success, for reasons such as quality, performance and price balance. Everyone has the right to reach quality...

IN CONCLUSION;

The genocide carried out by Israel in the Palestinian territories that it began to occupy in 1948, which has caused the murder of more than 36 thousand people (more than 50 thousand since 1948) since October 7, has made conscientious people from all walks of life, views, and religions question the reason for their existence in the world. Public conscience all over the world has reached the point of explosion.

Millions of people live in inhumane conditions not only in Palestine, but also in many geographies such as Yemen, Syria, Libya, Sudan, Arakan, Kashmir, East Turkestan and Ukraine. It is not even possible to say that many of them are alive.

The current International order imposed by the victors of the First and Second World Wars has completely lost its legitimacy.

The World is Bigger than Five.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan

The established order is not sustainable. The justice of the powerful will be replaced by the rule of law.

SADAT Defense will continue to carry out the activities in its mission and vision with firm steps by adhering to its founding philosophy and international law .

It is announced to the public with respect. 07.06.2024
