'.. the only #Japanese #military base in the entire world is.. in Djibouti City.. #France – in its capacity as former colonial power, it is omnipotently present and hosts both #German and #Spanish forces. #italy has its own base, while the US have been there for roughly 18 years.. '

After reading a #MediaLens article about #Ukraine it's hard not to think of #Yemen too. Could #BabElMandeb be the next worse crisis? Even more countries involved in a confrontation?

'The biggest perk for Indian military..[to] use the sole #Japanese overseas base in #Djibouti, where.. #China has a base too. The #Chinese base in Djibouti is part of its “String of Pearls” policy which has raised some tension in Indian military circles lately, which is strategically located near the #BabElMandeb Strait.. the advantages gained by Japan..possibly looking at the #Indian #Naval base in #Andaman and #Nicobar Islands listening point for Chinese subs.'
