The Carter Administration's decision in principle to supply military assistance to Somalia - a nation that surpasses the rest of Africa in its dependence upon Soviet arms - is stunning evidence of how quickly the crazy-quilt pattern of major power alliances is changing in the volatile Horn of Africa. It is also further proof, if any were needed, that the conflicts on the Horn are nor simply regional disputes threatening the stability of a corner of the continent.
The Societ Union is attempting to extend its influence with military shipments to states hat are both socialist and intensely nationalist in orientation. The United States is trying to counter the Soviet trust and substitute its own power. The Arab states are trying to strengthen their positions on the Red Sea, one of the routes used by oil tankers bound for Europe. It is perhaps not a coincidence that the struggle for the Horn has intensified along with the fighting in Southern Africa.
