How US-Israel attack on Iran is impacting Africa

Abstract

The war between the United States, Israel and Iran may appear geographically distant from Africa. Yet its consequences are being felt across the continent. For millions of Africans from the Horn of Africa to Uganda, Sudan, the Gulf of Guinea and South Africa, among others, the conflict is not simply a geopolitical crisis. It is rapidly becoming a human rights crisis driven by inflation, food insecurity, disrupted trade, and heightened regional instability.
