The Red Sea as a strategic arena: what is at stake for the Horn of Africa

The Center’s research team

Ports, naval bases and shipping routes have turned the Red Sea into a crowded arena. This paper maps the main actors and sets out policy options for the region’s governments.

Questions it addresses

  • Which external powers are present on the Red Sea coast, and why?
  • How does competition over ports affect stability in the Horn?
  • What can the region’s governments do together?
