Brief:<\/b><\/p>

The relations between the Middle East and the Horn of Africa are long-standing, multifaceted, complicated, and connected by the Red Sea which is only 355 km wide between the Arabian Peninsula and Northeast Africa.\u00a0 Being in the vicinity of strategic waterways, specifically the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea including the Suez Canal, the Horn of Africa has been one of the hotspots of superpower rivalry throughout history. Nowadays, while the world\u2019s attention is focused on the \u201cgreat power competition\u201d in the region, mainly between the US and China, several rival regional actors have been competing in the Horn of Africa for economic and military in\ufb02uence in the region. The several competing regional players include: Saudi competition with Iran, Saudi\/Emirati competition with Turkey\/Qatar, Egypt\u2019s struggle to preserve regional dominance,\u00a0 Egypt\u2019s competition with Ethiopia\u2019s rising regional role, and Saudi competition with the UAE. These competing states are the key drivers of tension and instability in the Horn of Africa as they pursue their interests in the region, from Ethiopia and Sudan to Somalia and Djibouti. While the increasing militarization of the Red Sea region has created a lot of interests in the region and a new nexus of superpower competition, the main drivers of conflicts and instabilities in the region are the regional rivals who in their pursuit of interests have spread and exported their con\ufb02icts to the Horn of African countries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>
