'A Highly Concerning Threat': Houthis & Al-Shabaab Join Forces Along The Red Sea | Firstpost Africa

The Red Sea—carrying over one trillion dollars in global trade annually—has transformed into one of the most volatile geopolitical battlegrounds on Earth. Recent intelligence reveals a high-stakes convergence as Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis deepen operational ties with Al-Shabaab in Somalia, training fighters, supplying advanced drone tech, and establishing coastal radar networks. With the U.S. drawing down support in the Horn of Africa, regional security is fracturing. As maritime chaos surges alongside rising Somali piracy and geopolitical tensions over Somaliland, this dangerous marriage of convenience threatens to choke critical trade corridors and permanently reshape global maritime power. Alyson Le Grange brings you more on this story on Firstpost Africa.
