UAE Eyes Somaliland: The $Billion Move Reshaping Red Sea Trade

Описание: Why is Abu Dhabi investing billions of dollars into Somaliland’s Berbera Port — and why are global trade analysts paying close attention?

In this in-depth geopolitical documentary, Horn Lens examines how the UAE’s strategic investment in Berbera is reshaping logistics corridors across the Horn of Africa and the wider Red Sea region.

Positioned near the Bab el-Mandeb chokepoint — one of the world’s most critical maritime gateways — Berbera sits along the shipping lane connecting Asian manufacturing, Gulf energy exports, and European consumer markets. As supply chains evolve and global trade routes face mounting pressure, infrastructure hubs like Berbera are becoming central to economic security and corridor diversification.

Through DP World’s port expansion, free zone development, and transport corridor integration toward landlocked Ethiopia’s 120+ million consumer market, Abu Dhabi is building more than a port — it is constructing long-term strategic access across African trade architecture.

This analysis explores:

• UAE global port network strategy
• Berbera Port expansion and capacity growth
• Somaliland’s economic and diplomatic positioning
• Ethiopia’s maritime access strategy
• Djibouti vs Berbera port competition
• Red Sea shipping security
• Supply chain diversification beyond Suez

With cinematic visuals and fact-based narration, this documentary unpacks how logistics, geography, and geopolitics are converging in one of the world’s most strategically significant regions.
