Last update: 10 hours agoRed Sea & Security: Iran says it’s “deeply threatened” by Somaliland’s push for a U.S./Western foothold, warning any Israeli or Western military presence near Somaliland’s port and airbase could disrupt Houthi-linked attacks on Red Sea shipping.

China-Africa Tourism Mood: Djiboutians featured in Beijing’s Africa Day cultural festival, tied to China’s zero-tariff push for African nations—good news for cultural exchange and visitor interest. Regional Context for Travelers: With U.S. visa processing paused for many nationalities (including Egypt), more travelers are looking at visa-free or visa-on-arrival alternatives across Africa and beyond.
