Saudi Arabia's MBS Turns to Egypt's Sisi as Oil Exports Drop Amid Houthi Attacks | Firstpost Africa
Watch this video as Firstpost explains how the escalating conflict between Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels and Saudi Arabia is directly impacting African nations, triggering economic and humanitarian crises. With Houthis capturing Yemen’s Red Sea coast and locking down the critical Bab El-Mandeb Strait, Saudi oil exports via the port of Yanbu have plummeted from 3.8 million to 1.5 million barrels per day.Seeking a joint security response, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman met with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi in Cairo today. Meanwhile, over 85,000 Yemenis are internally displaced, with thousands crossing perilous waters to seek refuge in Djibouti, overwhelming local response capacity.
Horn of Africa economies are also feeling the strain; Somali traders are forced to bypass traditional West Asian transit hubs like the UAE and Saudi Arabia and reroute maritime imports from Asia, leading to longer transit times, soaring freight costs, and imminent consumer price spikes across regional markets. Alyson Le Grange brings you more on this story on Firstpost Africa.
