News: #Somaliland's #Israel deal could put #Berbera port at risk
#Somaliland says its recognition by Israel could be a boon for its Berbera port. But with missiles flying across the region, it could also be a target.
Berbera port on the Gulf of Aden has been transformed by the #UAE firm #DP_World over the past decade into a state-of-the-art facility on one of the world's busiest trade routes.
Berbera still handles far fewer containers than nearby #Djibouti or #Mombasa, but port traffic was up 30 percent from 2023 to 2025, and recent diplomatic moves could lead to much more.
A deal under negotiation with #Ethiopia, a landlocked neighbour with more than 130 million inhabitants, could see traffic rise by another 80 percent, said port authority director Ali Diriye Ahmed.
Ethiopia did not respond to queries on the subject.
But an alliance with Israel also brings risks, particularly as the US-Israeli attacks on Iran this weekend increase the threat of ........

#Egypt and #Saudi Arabia focus on Eritrea as UAE bolsters ties to #Ethiopia
The insular but strategically positioned Red Sea country of #Eritrea is coming under the radar of Arab capitals as a potential linchpin in Saudi Arabia and the #UAE’s #Red_Sea rivalry.
Two #Arab officials familiar with recent diplomacy told Middle East Eye that Egypt is trying to broker deeper security links between Eritrea and Saudi Arabia, with an eye towards checking the UAE’s influence as it increases military ties to Ethiopia.
The Arab officials told MEE that the developments are inspired by a defence deal struck between Sudan’s military and Pakistan in January. That agreement is widely understood to be financed by Saudi Arabia, although the weapons systems have yet to materialise.
MEE reported that #Pakistani chief of air staff Zaheer Ahmed Baber Sidhu, and Lieutenant General Turki bin Bander bin....

#Djibouti leader wary of #Israel’s presence in #Somaliland
Djibouti President Ismail Omar #Guelleh on Friday warned that the establishment of an Israeli military base in the strategic port city of #Berbera in Somaliland will pose a direct threat to regional stability.
Speaking to a local media, Guelleh accused Israel of exploiting Somaliland’s decades-long quest for statehood to secure a foothold in the Horn of Africa.
He expressed deep concern that the authorities in #Hargeisa might agree to any geopolitical concession in exchange for formal recognition.
The veteran leader also leveled uncharacteristically blunt criticism at the United Arab Emirates, describing the Gulf nation as Israel’s primary “gateway” into the region.
Guelleh pointed out that the #UAE is driving strategic shifts in the Horn of Africa and the #Red_Sea that exacerbate existing conflicts. He further alleged....
