The Horn of Africa is one of the world鈥檚 most sensitive and strategic regions. It overlooks vital shipping lanes that connect Asia and Europe, shares a maritime border with the Middle East, and has thousands of miles of Indian Ocean coastline. The region is also home to Africa鈥檚 second most populous country, Ethiopia; one of the continent鈥檚 most important ports, Djibouti; and Chinese, American, and other military bases. But the Horn鈥檚 deep political tensions and history of conflict make it difficult to engage in effective diplomacy. 华体会, in collaboration with the Israel-Africa Institute, is conducting a series of webinars analyzing this important region, especially the role that outside actors play.

In this episode, experts discuss what regional powers such as the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, T眉rkiye, and Qatar are doing in the Horn, their strategies and motivations, and the impact they might have on the region.
