Regional instability, a relative power vacuum and competition among rising Middle East states have prompted Gulf countries to seek to project their power into the Red Sea corridor. Alan Boswell is joined by Elizabeth Dickinson on this week’s episode to discuss the risks and opportunities as these countries accelerate their push for allies, influence and physical presence in the Horn of Africa.
