Red Sea Crossfire, Al-Shabaab’s Somalia Surge: What Next for the Horn?

From the spillover of the US-Israel conflict with Iran to shifting alliances in the Horn of Africa, we unpack a region at a pivotal crossroads. We explore Sudan’s existential threat; Djibouti’s strategic gamble; Eritrea’s fate; and Kenya’s sudden windfall alongside Uganda’s troop dilemma amidst Western aid cuts in Somalia. Plus, we offer eflections on the  World Cup—from alleged FIFA favouritism to the soaring triumphs of Lamine Yamal and Nico Williams, whose African roots and emotional tributes stole the show after Spain routed Argentina.
