Eurasia Review published on 9 February 2022 a commentary titled "The Horn of Africa States and Egypt" by Suleiman Walhad.
As the most important source of water for the Nile River and location of countries that form the west bank of the Red Sea south of the Suez Canal, the Horn of Africa is vitally important to Egypt. The author warns that Egypt, the Horn of Africa countries, and the Gulf States need to focus on achieving mutually good relations rather than undermining each other.
