The Horn of Africa is one of the most important regions in the world, and the multitude of military bases in the region seems to support this fact. It is no wonder that the Bab-el-Mandeb is an important strait in international trade, serving as the true end of the Suez Canal. China’s first overseas military base in Djibouti, a small country already oversaturated with the military bases of various countries, could therefore show the increasing assertiveness of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and its ambition in establishing itself as a global superpower. This analysis provides a brief overview of this naval base and explores what functions it has, how it compares to its neighbouring military bases, and what potential there is to it. |
