Security Challenges in the Horn of Africa: Climate Change and Extremism Threaten Stability

By

The Horn of Africa, a region known for its strategic significance and complex dynamics, is facing growing security challenges. According to a recent statement by the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), the rise of extremist organizations and political instability in some Horn of Africa nations could undermine efforts to address issues of insecurity, piracy, and drug trafficking.

The recent droughts that have caused thousands of people to flee their homes, according to Mohammed Ali Guyo, the IGAD's special envoy for the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, and Somalia. "We have seen a rise in terrorism, piracy, armed robbery, and sea kidnappings in the region," Guyo stated during a press briefing in Naivasha, Kenya. He emphasized that the lack of security cooperation among member states has worsened the situation.

IGAD had established a task force to identify challenges and opportunities in the Gulf of Aden and Red Sea regions. Guyo drew attention to the illegal pathways used for trafficking narcotics, firearms, people, and contraband, emphasizing the urgent need for united efforts by member states.

Climate change is another factor contributing to insecurity as it disrupts livelihoods, leading to food and water shortages and displacing populations. Guyo called for collective action to address these challenges.

Moi Lemoshira, the director-general of the Kenyan Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs, stressed the negative impact of regional instability on development. He noted that terrorism and extremist groups affect all member states and underscored the importance of collaborative engagement.

While the Gulf of Aden and Red Sea regions hold enormous potential, ongoing insecurity, political transitions, and instability in some member countries have hindered efforts to harness these opportunities. Lemoshira praised the task force's work in assessing the region's potential and challenges, stating that the report will contribute to the development of a roadmap.

In recent years, the effects of climate change, combined with instability in some countries, have created a window for insecurity and terrorism, according to Lemoshira. The region's leaders recognize the urgency of addressing these issues collectively to ensure stability, security, and sustainable development in the Horn of Africa.

As the Horn of Africa grapples with a complex web of challenges, including climate change, extremism, and political instability, regional cooperation and international support will be crucial in addressing these pressing security concerns and fostering a more stable and prosperous future for the region.

Advance but No Deal: Talks between Ethiopia and Somalia in Turkey

By Abubakar Hussein
Significantly for East African diplomacy, the second round of Turkish-mediated negotiations between Somalia and Ethiopia concluded in Ankara on August 13, 2024, without a definitive deal. Officials from both nations and Turkey claim that despite this, the conversations made clear development. The focus of the debates is on a controversial port agreement Ethiopia signed in January 2024 with the self-declared sovereign nation of Somalandon. Relations between Ethiopia and Somaliland have been seriously strained by the deal wherein Ethiopia leases 20 kilometers of Somaliland's coastline in exchange for acceptance of Somaliland's independence. Viewing Somaliland as a part of its sovereign territory, Mogadishu denounced the agreement as unconstitutional, ejecting the Ethiopian ambassador and threatening to pull Ethiopian forces supporting Somalia out of the front lines against Islamist militants. Unlike past diplomatic interactions, the Ankara negotiations were conducted indirectly v...
