1 day ago | eurasiareview.com | Suleiman Walhad

Since the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869, the significance of the Red Sea, and hence Bab El Mandab Straits and the Gulf of Aden, as a gateway to the Indian Ocean, have been transformed from relatively peripheral water bodies to some of the most critical and major maritime corridors globally. It is a key corridor linking continents, reshaping global shipping, geopolitics, and regional development.
The Horn Of Africa States: The Complex Ethio-Eritrean Relations - OpEd

2 days ago | eurasiareview.com | Suleiman Walhad

The local name of Eritrea was “Mdree-Bahree” meaning “land of the Sea”. In 1890, Italy named it Eritrea, derived from the Greek word ‘Erythraean’, referring to the Red Sea. Eritrea was an Italian colony until 1941, when Britain took over its administration until 1952 on behalf of the UN, which then decided to federate Eritrea with Ethiopia. It remained united with Ethiopia until 1993, when it regained its independence, after a war of liberation that lasted for decades from 1962.

2 days ago | eurasiareview.com | Binoy Kampmark

It was a blast to a past wiped out by amnesia, social media and mental decrepitude. Andrew Hastie, Australia’s opposition minister for home affairs, had been moved by an idea: greater transparency was needed regarding the US military buildup in Australia. It was an inspiration overdue by some decades, but it was worthwhile in its unaccustomed sensibility.
The Horn Of Africa States: Petroleum Exploration Somalia (Part II) - OpEd

4 days ago | eurasiareview.com | Suleiman Walhad

Somalia does not currently produce any oil or gas. It relies on imported petroleum products. The country does not have operational refineries. There was once a refinery in Mogadishu, but like anything Somali, it collapsed with the state in 1991. Power plants operate on imported diesel, although the country has a high solar and wind potential. Lack of a national grid infrastructure keep it hooked to imported fuels.
Netanyahu’s Delusional Pursuit Of A ‘New Middle East’ - OpEd

4 days ago | eurasiareview.com | Ramzy Baroud

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu persistently declares his ambition to “change the face of the Middle East.” Yet his repeated assertions seem to clash with the unfolding reality on the ground. Netanyahu’s opportunistic relationship with language is now proving detrimental to his country. The Israeli leader undoubtedly grasps fundamental marketing principles, particularly the power of strong branding and consistent messaging.
The Horn Of Africa States: The Untapped Natural Resources Of The Region - OpEd

5 days ago | eurasiareview.com | Suleiman Walhad

As I write on the politics and economies of the region, I have on several occasions been asked to present what actual resources are available in the region and estimates thereof, if and when available. It is the story of this article – the untapped resources of the region. The Horn of Africa States region is extremely resource-rich both human and material, but these resources are vastly underdeveloped.
The Horn Of Africa States: Replacing The Dysfunctional Clan-Based Federal Infrastructure In Somalia - OpEd

6 days ago | eurasiareview.com | Suleiman Walhad

It is obvious that the clan-based federal infrastructure imposed on the nation about a decade and half ago is not working. The Global Somali Council, a Somali think tank based in the United States and linking all Somali diaspora organizations, proposed recently a Transitional Somali Technocrat Council (TSTC) to replace the dysfunctional clan-based federal system. Its success or failure as a replacement system cannot be gauged with precision, but a review of the proposal, needs to be done.

CANZUK (an acronym formed from the initial letters of Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the UK), is an advocacy body promoting the idea of close formal cooperation between those founder members of the defunct British empire. The organization must be rubbing its hands in satisfaction, metaphorically speaking, at their first truly joint initiative.

Among the UN’s designated days, one stands out for its growing urgency in the face of climate change: this week’s World Day to Combat Desertification and Drought. in 1994 by the UN Convention to Combat Desertification, this day, which is marked on June 17 every year, is a global reminder of the escalating crisis of land degradation and water scarcity. While the effects of desertification are seen worldwide, few regions are as vulnerable — or as consequential — as the Middle East.
