Horn of Africa

The Horn of Africa is a region deeply affected by the rivalry between Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, becoming a proxy battleground for Middle Eastern powers. This external involvement exacerbates existing conflicts and forces local actors to choose sides, leading to increased instability.

The Horn of Africa was mentioned, with Egypt reaffirming its steadfast position on respecting the sovereignty of regional nations, specifically Somalia and Eritrea.

The Horn of Africa is another region where the European Union is bolstering its counter-piracy naval mission Atalanta, reflecting broader security concerns in the vicinity of the Middle East conflict.
