AGP Executive Report
Last update: 27 minutes agoRed Sea Pressure on Djibouti: Djibouti urged de-escalation in Ethiopia and warned that renewed instability in the Horn is feeding wider regional risk around the Bab el-Mandeb. Humanitarian Strain: Djibouti also appealed to the international community at the UN as Yemen-linked arrivals surge, with UNHCR reporting nearly 3,000 crossings to Djibouti in under a week and fears arrivals could reach 10,000, stretching shelter, food, and healthcare capacity. Ethiopia Conflict and Trade Risk: Fighting between Ethiopia’s federal forces and the TPLF intensified, including drone strikes on Tigrai TV and reports of federal forces taking Alamata, while Ethiopia’s army accused Eritrea and Sudan of backing Tigray-linked armed groups—raising concerns for civilians and for Ethiopia’s logistics that rely heavily on Djibouti. Energy Deal Boosts Corridor Resilience: Aliko Dangote backed a $660m Ethiopia–Djibouti fuel pipeline (Damerjog to Dewele) aimed at cutting delivery time to Addis from five days to one, with up to 400 million liters of storage planned. Maritime Security Costs: EU officials warned the Red Sea mission needs more warships as Houthi threats raise shipping risks and costs, while analysts flag Bab el-Mandeb control as a fast-moving “high” to “critical” strategic danger for Djibouti-linked trade.
