From the Sahel to the Red Sea: The EU’s Quiet Security Pivot Toward Somaliland

Описание: Is the European Union quietly rewriting its Africa security strategy?

After years of instability, military coups, and stalled security partnerships across the Sahel, Brussels is recalibrating its Africa policy. Attention is now shifting east — toward Somaliland, a politically stable yet internationally unrecognized territory on the Horn of Africa, positioned along one of the world’s most critical maritime trade corridors.

This documentary-style geopolitical analysis examines why the EU’s Sahel strategy is faltering, and why Somaliland is emerging as a serious strategic variable in Europe’s evolving security calculations across counter-terrorism, migration management, and Red Sea maritime security.

In this Horn Lens intelligence briefing, we analyze:

• Why the EU’s long-standing Sahel security framework is unraveling
• Somaliland’s democratic record, internal security, and political stability
• How counter-terrorism, migration routes, and maritime chokepoints shape EU priorities
• Brussels’ growing diplomatic and technical engagement with Hargeisa
• The legal and political challenges of cooperating with an unrecognized state
• Reactions from Somalia and neighboring regional actors
• Strategic competition involving the United States, China, Israel, and other global powers
• Whether this pivot could redefine Europe’s long-term security posture in Africa

📊 Watch to the end and decide:
Is Somaliland becoming Europe’s next security anchor — or a strategic gamble with global consequences?
