AGP Executive Report
Last update: 12 hours agoMaritime Security & Trade: A new GTRI warning says the Red Sea crisis has now stretched to 1,000 days without a durable fix, keeping shipping chokepoints risky and making routes via Djibouti, Eritrea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait slower and costlier for exporters. Regional Humanitarian Flows: IOM data shows Ethiopians made up 91% of migrants arriving in Yemen in July 2026, and departures from Yemen also point to Djibouti as a key destination route. Visa Rules for Travelers: The U.S. has consolidated routine visa processing across Africa into 20 regional hubs (from Aug 1, 2026), meaning some applicants must travel to other countries for interviews and biometrics. Visa-Free Travel Ahead: From Jan 1, 2027, Nigerians will be able to enter Chad and the Republic of the Congo without visas, as both countries move toward wider African free movement. Djibouti in the Spotlight: A Saudi-led maritime defense coalition now includes Djibouti, aiming to protect Red Sea and Gulf of Aden navigation as attacks disrupt global routes.
