Horn of Africa - Profile

The Horn of Africa refers to the geographical region falling within that horn-shaped part of Africa that protrudes into the Indian Ocean, from the continent's land mass in northeastern Africa. As an area without obvious physical or political boundaries, the Horn is somewhat difficult to define precisely. By its strictest definition, it includes the countries of Ethiopia, Somalia, Djibouti, The Sudan and the northeastern region of Kenya. The Horn has been a contentious area of the world whose recent history has been constantly marred by wars, revolutions, coups d'état and territorial dispute. Much of this region's history involves understanding the internal politics of Somalia and Ethiopia, the two countries that are most central to the disputes in that area.
