The Gulf states and Turkey are increasingly involved in the Horn of Africa, effectively splitting the Red Sea region into two coalitions: an Emirati-backed, Israeli-supported axis of revisionists and a coalition of status-quo African states aligned with Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey. The competition between these factions is present beyond the Red Sea region and across North Africa, the Mediterranean, the Middle East, and South Asia.
AEI will host a timely discussion of rapidly shifting regional dynamics and how the US can protect its interests in the Red Sea and beyond. Panelists will focus on the recent rupture between Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, how this fits into a broader regional competition, and that competition’s trajectory in the Red Sea and elsewhere.
