The Bab el-Mandeb strait is a strategic waterway
located between Djibouti and Yemen that links the
Red Sea to the Indian Ocean. At its narrowest, it is
only 18 miles across. Exports from the Persian Gulf
and Asia destined for Western markets must pass
through the strait before passing through the Suez
Canal. It is also perhaps the most dangerous and
geo-politically contested strait in the world.

The civil war in Yemen and the border dispute
between Eritrea and Djibouti means that constant
conflict surrounds the strait. In recent years the
United States, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization,
Epe
and the European Union have all conducted
counter-terrorism and counter-piracy operations in
the region. Furthermore, the Americans, Chinese,
Germans, French, Qataris, Emiratis, Saudi Arabians,
Japanese, and Italians all have some form of military
presence near the Bab el-Mandeb
tipus
If the Bab el-Mandeb Strait were closed, it could
keep tankers in the Persian Gulf from reaching the
Suez Canal, diverting them around the Cape of Good
Hope, another of the world's chokepoints. An
estimated 4.8 million b/d flow through this strait en
route to Europe, the United States and Asia.
