Recent investigations have exposed a tangled web of military and political interests linking Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and the volatile Somali region — particularly Puntland centered around the strategically vital Bab-el-Mandeb Strait. At the heart of this alliance lie advanced Israeli radar installations, a UAE military base in Puntland, and covert support for Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (RSF). This alliance raises critical questions: What secret motives drive this partnership? What are the UAE’s true ambitions in Africa? And how does this impact Somalia’s sovereignty and regional stability?
Israeli Radar Systems in Eastern Somalia: A Serious Breach of Sovereignty
The discovery of Israeli radar systems installed in Puntland, eastern Somalia, has sparked international controversy. German broadcaster Deutsche Welle (DW) has reported on this, highlighting the gravity of such foreign military presence. These radar installations are far from benign surveillance tools; they represent a direct intrusion into Somali territory and security affairs. Under the pretense of peacekeeping, foreign troops and military technology actively involved in conflict zones betray the very essence of peacekeeping operations, which are designed to separate warring factions after ceasefire agreements not to deepen military entanglements.
The UAE’s Expanding Military Footprint and Strategic Ambitions
The UAE’s establishment of a military base in Puntland is a calculated move to secure influence over the Bab-el-Mandeb Strait, a critical maritime chokepoint connecting the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. Control of this passage is key to global maritime trade routes and regional military strategy. Abu Dhabi’s support to selected factions within Somalia and Sudan reveals a broader geopolitical plan to dominate the Horn of Africa, a region pivotal for trade, energy transit, and military positioning.
Backing Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces: Fueling Regional Instability
Simultaneously, the UAE provides covert support to Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces — a paramilitary group notorious for its brutal tactics and human rights abuses. This clandestine assistance is part of a larger regional power game aimed at influencing conflicts and political developments in East Africa. The consequences of this interference often exacerbate instability and suffering for civilian populations caught in the crossfire.
The Geostrategic Prize: Control of Bab-el-Mandeb Strait
The Bab-el-Mandeb Strait is arguably one of the most strategic waterways in the world. Its control allows for dominance over a vital maritime corridor through which much of the world’s oil and commercial shipping pass. Israel’s radar installations, combined with the UAE’s military foothold and proxy militias, reflect a shared agenda to exert control over this corridor, effectively influencing not only regional but global trade and security dynamics.
A Betrayal of Somali Sovereignty and Islamic Solidarity
These covert actions are widely perceived by many Somalis as a profound betrayal — both of national sovereignty and of Islamic unity. The installation of foreign military infrastructure and troops in Somali lands without full transparency undermines the country’s dignity and turns it into a pawn in larger geopolitical games. This undermines the very essence of Somali self-determination and exposes the region to further conflict and foreign domination.
Conclusion: Protecting Somalia’s Integrity Amidst Foreign Intrusion
This unfolding reality is a wake-up call for Somali leaders and citizens alike. The entanglement of foreign powers in Somalia’s affairs, masked as peacekeeping or strategic partnership, threatens the country’s security, independence, and honor. Somalia must assert its sovereignty firmly and demand full transparency and accountability to prevent becoming a battlefield for foreign agendas. The future of Somalia and the Horn of Africa depends on vigilance, unity, and unwavering defense of their territorial and political integrity.
