Last update: 6 hours agoRed Sea Security: Iran-backed Houthis seized Yemen’s Red Sea port of Mocha and are closing in on Dhubab, edging closer to controlling the Bab el-Mandeb Strait that links the Red Sea to Djibouti and Eritrea—raising fears of a wider restart of Yemen’s war and fresh pressure on global shipping. Djibouti & Horn Impact: With war risk premiums climbing and Red Sea routes still costly, Ethiopia-linked freight continues to feel the squeeze, even as Djibouti remains the main seaborne gateway for Ethiopia. Diplomacy & Regional Ties: Sri Lanka’s new UNECA envoy pledged deeper economic cooperation with Africa, including maritime, agriculture, tech and investment links that could involve Djibouti. Somalia Governance: Somalia’s Upper House approved an Anti-Piracy and Anti-Kidnapping Bill to update laws and strengthen prosecutions as piracy resurges. Local/Community Note: Djibouti-linked U.S. service was highlighted in Illinois, where an Army National Guard soldier who deployed to Djibouti died in a crash after community outreach.
