Putin has no friends in the Horn of Africa, only customers

Original: Putin has no friends in Horn of Africa. Only customers

The Arab Weekly argues that Russia's engagement in the Horn of Africa is driven by commercial and strategic interests rather than genuine partnership, with Moscow treating regional governments as customers for arms, security deals and political influence. The framing suggests countries like Sudan and Eritrea are clients in a transactional relationship, not allies.

Why now: Ongoing Russian efforts to expand influence and secure military positioning along the Red Sea are drawing renewed scrutiny.
