The Federal Government of Somalia has condemned threats by the Houthi group against commercial shipping and attacks in the Red Sea, saying such actions endanger regional security and international trade. Reports indicate any blockade of the Bab al-Mandab strait could disrupt the movement of global vessels, especially those carrying fuel and essential goods. The statement also warns that tensions in the Red Sea could impact Horn of Africa nations, including Somalia, given the sea lanes' importance to regional commerce and economies.
