The Ministry of Justice of the State of Eritrea is currently hosting a three-day dialogue titled “Justice, Development, and Geopolitics of the Horn” from September 4th to 6th, 2024. This event builds upon an earlier discussion held in April 2024, which focused on the role of Eritrean values in shaping the country’s sustainable development process.
The ongoing dialogue aims to examine the broader geopolitical landscape of the Horn of Africa, the Nile Basin, and the Red Sea region, as well as the global power dynamics that influence these areas. Discussions are centered on the challenges and opportunities these geopolitical factors present for Eritrea’s nation-building and development efforts.
A key focus of the event is the interrelation between global and regional geopolitics, particularly in the context of African development and regional integration. The dialogue seeks to address how shifting global power structures are impacting the African continent, and how countries within the region can navigate these changes while fostering cross-border cooperation.
Participants are exploring the evolution of regional collaboration efforts, analyzing opportunities and challenges in initiatives that span the Horn of Africa, the Red Sea region, and the Nile Basin. The dialogue also aims to reconsider development frameworks in Africa, ensuring that strategies are better aligned with the continent’s diverse social, cultural, and economic realities.
The event is serving as a platform for sharing experiences and best practices, with the goal of fostering a common understanding of the synergies that underpin regional development processes. Insights and recommendations from the discussions are expected to guide future efforts toward sustainable development and regional integration across Africa.
