Red Sea Rivalries

Foreign Affairs posted on 15 January 2019 an analysis titled "Red Sea Rivalries: The Gulf States Are Playing a Dangerous Game in the Horn of Africa" by Zach Vertin, Brookings Institution's Doha Center.

As the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey seek to expand their influence in the Horn of Africa, they are exporting Middle Eastern rivalries to a region that has plenty of its own. The increasingly militarized Red Sea region is likely to remain a dangerous battleground.

Brookings published in January 2019 a linked piece by Zach Vertin titled "Red Sea Rivalries: The Gulf, the Horn & the New Geopolitics of the Red Sea."
