From the base in #Djibouti how involved #Japan (and #India ?) in the #Yemen war? Between Djibouti and Yemen is #BebElMandeb which '.. acts as a.. link between the #IndianOcean and the #MediterraneanSea via the #RedSea and the #SuezCanal. In 2006, an estimated 3.3 million barrels of #oil passed through the strait per day, out of a world total of about 43 million barrels per day moved by #tankers.. [It] is about 32 km from #RasMenheli in Yemen to #RasSiyyan in Djibouti.
