SaxafiMedia · International And Regional Competition: The Somaliland Model | Saxafi MediaSomaliland's quest for recognition is longstanding despite the latest push for engagement in the Red Sea basin. Geopolitical shifts in the Middle East, following the Arab Spring, diversification across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), and regional conflict(s) in the Horn of Africa continue to recenter international and regional state interests from the Arabian Peninsula to the Red Sea basin. International actors include China, Russia, and Iran, whilst regional actors include Türkiye, Israel, Egypt, Ethiopia, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar. Two themes of contention underpin this recalibration in foreign policy for international and regional actors: sovereignty (political,) security (economic and maritime).
