Red Sea Notes follows current events in East Africa, the Horn of Africa and the Arab World, with a special focus on politics, security and economics. Whether commenting on a story that made headlines, or highlighting an event barely noticed by the media, our objective is to dig deeper and demonstrate how these stories fit into broader trends and patterns of change in the region.

Red Sea Notes offers analysis and insight with the broader goal of inspiring a dialogue among communities of scholars, policymakers, students, activists and investors with an interest in the region.
