Last update: 9 hours agoRed Sea Security: Iran-aligned Houthis seized Yemen’s port city of Mocha and pushed toward the Hanish islands, tightening their grip near the Bab el-Mandeb chokepoint that sits between Yemen and Djibouti/Eritrea and carries about 12% of global oil and goods. Energy Shock: With Brent crude hovering above $100 a barrel and shipping routes disrupted, the advance raises fears of fresh pressure on Saudi exports and wider global supply chains.

Djibouti in the Spotlight: Djibouti will sign the NASA Artemis Accords on Sept. 14 in Washington, marking a major step for the country’s civil space ties. Migration Update: IOM reports 1,628 Ethiopian migrants returned to Djibouti from Yemen in August, up about 17% from July.
