This article examines regional crises and conflicts in the Middle East and Africa, assessing their impact on stability and security in a comparative perspective. It focuses on identifying common and specific elements in the structure of conflicts in the Middle East, such as the civil war in Syria and the Yemeni crisis, as they have far-reaching consequences beyond their immediate regions, significantly affecting the political, economic and security dynamics of sub-Saharan Africa. These crises contribute to refugee flows, arms trafficking, and the proliferation of terrorism, exacerbating instability in already fragile African states. The spillover effects challenge the capacities of African regional organizations like the African Union and ECOWAS to maintain peace and security. Additionally, the involvement of external powers, including the U.S., Russia, and China, in Middle Eastern conflicts further complicates the landscape, influencing African responses and policies. African nations face the dual challenge of addressing internal vulnerabilities while mitigating the adverse impacts of Middle Eastern conflicts. Diplomatic and economic strategies are crucial for enhancing resilience and stability. Understanding the intersections of these regional crises is essential for developing comprehensive policy frameworks that address the root causes and consequences of such conflicts. By exploring these interconnections, it becomes possible to identify effective measures for bolstering African stability in the face of external pressures and fostering a more secure and prosperous future for the continent.
