Abstract: (300 Views)
Egypt considers its presence and influence in the Horn of Africa as an essential component of its national security and geopolitical strategy due to its geographical location and its vital dependence on the Nile River. This region, which includes Ethiopia, Somalia, Djibouti, Eritrea, and Sudan, is of strategic importance because of its proximity to the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab Strait. As such, it has become a focal point in strategic competition among regional and international powers. This research employs a descriptive-analytical approach and utilizes the conceptual framework of strategic culture to explore the question: how Egypt's role as a regional power in the Arab world and Africa has influenced its policies in the Horn of Africa? The study contends that Egypt’s strategic culture, emphasizing its role as a central power within the Arab world and Africa, has driven the country toward more assertive policies and a stronger presence in the Horn of Africa. This approach aims to reinforce Egypt’s leadership position and limit the influence of competing powers in the region.
