| Summary: |
The Horn of Africa takes its name from the horn-shaped land formation that forms the easternmost point of the African continent, projecting into the Indian Ocean south of the Arabian Peninsula. The term is also used to refer to greater region of adjacent countries located at the southern end of the Red Sea and on the Gulf of Aden: the Sudan, Eritrea, Djibouti, Somalia and the land-locked Ethiopia. Despite highly diverse social, cultural, economic, and ecological characteristics, the countries of the Horn are closely related - not only by their geography, by also by their history and demography.
