Israel wants a non Muslim ally in the Red Sea which is why they are pushing the UAE to bring Ethiopia to the Red Sea. Saudi Arabia and Egypt see this as a security threat and are against Ethiopia entering the Red Sea. Saudi Arabia decided to back Eritrea financially and military to prevent this from happening. High profile UAE delegate arrived in Xamar few days ago holding a secret meeting with HSM to give Ethiopia access to the Red Sea in exchange for money. HSM needs money desperately to secure next election but he knows Saudi Arabia has the capacity to bank roll the mucaarad with crazy sums of money if he was to anger them. Saudi Arabia wants to also have food security which is why they are planning to invest in Baraawe along with Kuwait.
Turkey and Qatar are allied with Saudi Arabia. USA wants Turkey not to have that much influence in the Horn so they are backing the UAE. Proxy wars are being fought over the Red Sea. The current war between Yemen and the USA has cost the global economy billions. Europe is China’s top trade partner, and more than 60% of that trade by value usually flows through the Suez Canal.
