📔🗣BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT 🕰 I’m pleased to announce my new book, Somaliland and the Competing Powers in the Horn of Africa and Red Sea Regions. This book offers a comprehensive examination of how #global and #regional actors — the United States, China, Russia, the United Kingdom, France, the European Union, Turkey, the UAE, Iran, Qatar, Japan, India, and others — shape political, economic, and security realities across the Horn of Africa and Red Sea. It also analyses the foreign policies of neighbouring states (Ethiopia, Djibouti, Somalia, Sudan, Eritrea, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Yemen) and the strategic choices they make in an era of intense competition. Key contributions: •A detailed assessment of Somaliland’s strategic importance at the Gulf of Aden and Bab el‑Mandeb, including port politics and maritime trade dynamics. •An exploration of how military presence, foreign investment, and proxy conflicts affect regional stability and Somaliland’s security environment. •Insight into Somaliland’s diplomatic balancing: pursuing sovereignty, protecting national security, and leveraging economic opportunity. •Policy recommendations for pragmatic regional cooperation, de‑escalation of proxy dynamics, and pathways to strengthen Somaliland’s long‑term security and international engagement. This #volume is part of a three‑book series developed from my #doctoral research, offering an extended, evidence‑based examination of Somaliland’s international position across multiple thematic lenses. Who should read this: diplomats, policymakers, defence and security professionals, scholars of international relations, regional specialists, and readers interested in the future of the Horn and Red Sea.
