The International Crisis Group published on 3 August 2017 an analysis titled "A Dangerous Gulf in the Horn: How the Inter-Arab Crisis Is Fuelling Regional Tensions" by Rashid Abdi.

The author argues that the Gulf crisis and the scramble for military outposts along the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden are exacerbating regional tensions that risk triggering a conflict.
