Xudeedi Posted May 2, 2007 Long article that demands patience and astute attention to the details. Blowing the Horn By Prendergast, John $ Thomas-Jensen, Colin From the March/April 2007 issue of Foreign Affairs. Abstract: This article discusses the United States' political and social involvement in Africa in the 21st century. The Greater Horn of Africa, a region that includes Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Djibouti, Somalia, Kenya, and Uganda, is one of the greatest conflict zones in the world. In 2007, two clusters of conflicts continue to destabilize it. The first centers on the interlocking rebellions in Sudan, including those in Darfur and southern Sudan, and engulfs northern Uganda, eastern Chad, and northeastern Central African Republic. The second cluster links the dispute between Ethiopia and Eritrea with the power struggle of Somalia, which involves the fledging secular government, antigovernment clan militias, Islamist militants, and anti-Islamist warlords.
