@rom255 that is NOT only talk. Houthis CAN and they ARE effectively closing it.

Hmm, the Houthis in Yemen 🇾🇪 announced they want to support Iran 🇮🇷 by closing down the Bab El-Mandeb strait. Basically the passage from and to the Suez Canal. World economy RIP.

>> #Somaliland's coast is facing the southern coast of #Yemen, in the other side of the #GulfOFAden. The Red Sea starts further north, in the #BabElMandeb.
Thanks! In #MENA politics, it is both. That's why #HornOfAfrica is a flashpoint while #Houthi terrorize Red Sea shipping.
Ethiopia HAD access to Red Sea, but no more. But, you are right, I could have phrased this better: "gain access to the #RedSea that Ethiopia lost when part of its own territory broke away as #Eritrea."
> It’s the key to the control of almost all shipping between the #IndianOcean and the #MediterraneanSea via the #SuezCanal. Recent drone attacks on commercial shipping in the Bab el Mandeb by Yemen-based Houthi forces have prompted a coalition led by the United States to launch military strikes against targets controlled by the militants.
