Three Colliding Visions: Ethiopia, Egypt, and Eritrea in the Horn of Africa's New Geopolitical Order

Abstract

The Horn of Africa has emerged as a theater of intersecting ambitions where three
national visions, those of Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Egypt, are colliding and reshaping
the region's political and strategic landscape. Each of these visions is rooted in
distinct historical experiences, security anxieties, and aspirations for influence, but
their intersection has produced a volatile mix of rivalry, proxy alignments, and
external entanglement.
