Abstract

Our research in this study deals with reviewing the nature of the strategy pursued by the United Arab Emirates in the Horn of Africa, and the features of the historical development of the relations that brought together the federal state and the countries of the Horn. The study monitors the state of change and development in the nature of those relations and the factors that influenced the strategy of the United Arab Emirates in the region, in The events that the international community is witnessing have gone beyond the stage of changes to the stage of fundamental and structural transformations. From this standpoint, the United Arab Emirates appears to have adopted, in the period after the Arab revolutions, more active policies regarding the regional environment. These active movements also reflected the adoption of new patterns of regional alliances, some of which or all of them contributed to the emergence of an advanced role for the United Arab Emirates, through which it now provides a model. It appears as an influential force seeking to achieve an effective and influential role in its regional environment, especially towards the circle of relations with African countries.
