United States' Interests in the Horn of Africa.
Abstract
The United States national interests in the Horn of Africa and their relative importance are examined. United States global objectives illustrated. A cursory overview for the regional the countries which comprise it is provided. The prospects for the future conditions most likely to prevail in the countries and the region are summarily given. The threat to achievement of United States interests and United States reactions to the threat are addressed. A picture of a volatile region engulfed with socioeconomics problems, civil war, superpower competition, and bleak prospects for a stabilized region is painted. The primarily conclusion drawn is that the United States will remain involved regionally for the long term because of the predominantly strategic interest. The United States will continue to exercise its nation instruments of power, political, economic, sociopsychological, and military, to secure its national interest objectives.
