Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Türkiye have established a new defense alliance—but what could this emerging security architecture mean for the Red Sea and the Horn of Africa?
In this Setit Media discussion, we examine the alliance through the lens of regional security and Eritrea’s strategic interests.
Why is Egypt not currently part of the agreement? Could Cairo eventually join? How could Türkiye’s growing military role in Somalia, Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea interests and Pakistan’s strategic weight reshape the balance of power around the Horn?
We also examine what this means for Eritrea, Ethiopia’s Red Sea ambitions, Somalia, Bab el-Mandeb, Assab and the wider competition for influence along one of the world’s most important maritime corridors.
The central question is bigger than the alliance itself:
Is a new regional security order beginning to emerge around the Red Sea—and where does Eritrea fit?
