The Geopolitics of the UAE in the Red Sea

The United Arab Emirates is on the move. This small yet dynamic Gulf state, fuelled by its financial success of the past 20 years stemming oil drilling and exports, is looking to establish itself in the Red Sea and the Horn of Africa for geostrategic purposes. In a move symbolic of the post-cold war world order, the UAE has begun a programme of a military installation and commercial port building across the region, in an attempt to expand its influence.

The Red Sea and Horn of Africa is increasingly playing host to state which wishes to generate commercial and military leverage in pursuit of the own geostrategic goals. Among these states are Russia, the UK, the US, China, Japan, France, Italy and Turkey.

What will the result of this scramble for East Africa be? Currently, that is anyones guess.
