#redsea — Public Fediverse posts

#Serbian diplomat: #Israel’s recognition of #Somaliland was more than a diplomatic move. It opened new geopolitical front at the crossroads of #RedSea & #GulfOfAden — where #Security, #Iran, #Yemen, #MaritimeTrade, #Energy & #Sovereignty increasingly collide.

#Somaliland’s #BerberaAirbase could become a pivotal strategic asset in the #HornOfAfrica — potentially strengthening ties with #US, #UAE & #Israel while serving as a deterrent against regional threats & reshaping the #Geopolitics of #RedSea & #GulfOfAden.

The seizure of the #Eritrea-flagged tanker #Sibu1 raises new questions about #IsaiasAfwerki’s strategic ties with #Iran. From the #RedSea to #Yemen & #Sudan, the incident fits a broader pattern of regional cooperation. @GHabtom analyzes. #Houthis #Somaliland

Why might Washington finally #RecognizeSomaliland? As #RedSea insecurity spreads & competition with #Iran & #China intensifies, #Somaliland’s strategic location & #PortOfBerbera could give the #US a compelling new reason to reconsider its longstanding policy.

@stevenacook argues that #SaudiArabia made a strategic error by opposing #Israel’s recognition of #Somaliland, overlooking new source of pressure on #Houthis & #Iran in #RedSea. The decision reflects #Riyadh’s wider struggle to separate strategic interests from regional rivalries.

#Israel’s #Recognition of #Somaliland marks more than a diplomatic breakthrough. It signals a strategic return to the #HornOfAfrica as the #RedSea, #Houthi threat & #Iran reshape Israel’s #security calculations after #October7.

@mrubin1971 argues that #Washington cannot secure the #RedSea or counter #Iran & the #Houthis w/t embracing #Somaliland. He says #BerberaPort, SL's stability & its pro-Western orientation make it a strategic partner the U.S. can no longer afford to ignore.

@realDonaldTrump says #US will "take care of things" if #Yemen's #HouthisBlockade #RedSea #shipping. As tankers reroute & #OilMarkets react, #Somaliland's #StrategicLocation & #BerberaPort emerge as increasingly important to #RedSeaSecurity & #GlobalTrade.

Do ships that transit the southern route, i.e. near the coast of #Oman, pay tolls to the #Ayatollah #Tollbooth, i.e. #PGSA? If no then #Iran's hold is tenuous.

#Iran's hold over strait of #Hormuz can be broken. The strait can be bypassed by pipelines and rail-links to #Saudi ports on #RedSea and to the #UAE, #Omani, #Yemini ports in Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea. Many of these pipelines and rail links already exist. They will need to have their capacity augmented.

#Sovereignty, #genocide, #memory, & power collide in #FarahBakaari’s explosive essay on #Somaliland’s fight for recognition. She examines how #statehood, diaspora identity, & #RedSea #geopolitics, are reshaping the future of SL — & the meaning of #freedom itself.

#Iran-#Israel tensions are reshaping the #HornOfAfrica as #SomaliPirates reportedly receive advanced support linked to #Houthi networks. Analysts warn the #RedSea crisis is accelerating piracy, militarization & geopolitical rivalry centered around #Somaliland & #GulfOfAden.

Remnants of War: SS Thistlegorm

SS Thistlegorm was a British cargo steamship built in 1940. It was sunk by German aircraft bombers in the Red Sea in 1941.

The ship rests underwater in the Ras Muhammad National Park at the southern extreme of the Sinai Peninsula. It overlooks the Gulf of Suez on the west and Gulf of Aqaba to the east.

The ship contained trucks, armored vehicles, motorcycles, guns, ammunition, radio equipment, boots, aircraft parts, railway wagons and two steam locomotives.

German aircraft dropped two 2.5-ton high-explosive bombs on Thistlegorm. Both of these bombs struck hold 4 near the stern of the ship in October 1941. The bomb exploded and ignited some of the ammunition stored in hold 4. This led to the sinking of Thistlegorm. The explosion caused the loss of four sailors and five defensively equipped merchant ship (DEMS) gunners.

In the early 1950s, Jacques Cousteau discovered the shipwreck by using information from local fishermen.

In the 1960’s, recreational diving began on the shipwreck. Today the SS Thistlegorm shipwreck hosts about 100 scuba divers per day.
