for anyone wondering why does israel care about an african country, somaliland lies right to the south of djibouti, and at a perfect angle to exercise pressure on the gate of tears, which the houthis use as a chokepoint in the red sea, effectively cutting europe and israel from asia. same tactic from the empire, fund some rebels, divide the country, reap what they didnt sow. they still wont control bab-el-mandeb thanks to this but is a potential ally in a really strategic point, if they survive this war, that is.
