Abstract

This study deals with the major power struggle over energy resources in the Horn of Africa, focusing on the Chinese-American competition over oil resources in Africa in general and the Horn of Africa in particular and to diversify the sources of oil supply for these two forces, and the exposure of the Middle East to the instability and unrest over time, which threatens the energy security of the largest power in the world The conflict of oil interests in Africa was linked to the US-China competition in particular, China has a tendency to move towards Africa and impose its influence on some of its oil regions. China has become a strong competitor to the United States of America and the rest of its efforts to adopt a policy of soft power and non-intervention in African affairs. In the African countries to its side, unlike the United States, which always puts political conditionality in dealing with African countries in all political and economic fields .., other than The United States, thanks to its global standing, its enormous military power, its great economic potential and its control over international political and economic institutions, and its reliance on an effective energy strategy enabled it to strengthen its hegemony over many countries of the Horn of Africa and to intervene in its conflicts. In order to weaken the other powers that threaten its supremacy on this continent, this is not contrary to the strength of China, which has become the first partner in Africa and the expansion of its relations. This rivalry remains between the United States and China, China's external energy, and the United States trying to control as much oil as possible and the Horn of Africa becomes a new arena for energy competition for its geostrategic importance and broadening its concept, its expanding energy resources
