AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoRed Sea Security: Iran-aligned Houthis have seized Yemen’s port city of Mocha and pushed toward the Bab el-Mandeb chokepoint, raising fresh fears for shipping that borders Eritrea and Djibouti. Chokepoint Control: Reports say the Houthis completed control of Mayyun (Perim) Island inside the strait after government forces withdrew, while also taking Dhubab and moving toward the Hanish Islands—moves that could let them disrupt one of the world’s busiest energy routes. Energy Fallout: Oil prices jumped above $100 a barrel as markets priced in possible Red Sea disruption, with Saudi Arabia also shutting its East–West pipeline after attacks. Eritrea’s View: Eritrean Foreign Minister Osman Saleh told Middle East Eye there is “no military solution” in Yemen and urged littoral states to manage navigation amid Yemen’s lack of unified control. Regional Politics: Israel’s backing for Ethiopia’s Red Sea access bid is reported to be fueling tensions with Egypt, adding another layer to Red Sea competition. Human Dimension: Finland’s border guard said six people were found hiding in a vehicle at Helsinki’s port, including five Eritrean citizens, linked to broader illegal entry networks.
