Rising tensions involving the United States, Israel and Iran have already unsettled markets.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Yemen\u2019s Houthis have signalled their willingness to escalate and threaten shipping in the Red Sea corridor, raising the prospect that yet another critical artery of global commerce could be disrupted.<\/p>\n<p>The consequences are immediate: higher shipping costs, longer routes, delayed deliveries and renewed inflationary pressure. What begins as a regional security issue quickly becomes a global economic one.<\/p>\n<p>Nowhere are these disruptions felt more acutely than in Africa \u2014 particularly across the Horn and East Africa.<\/p>\n<p>Many economies in the region depend heavily on stable trade routes and predictable supply chains.<\/p>\n<p>When these are interrupted, the effects are swift: rising prices, constrained access to goods and increased pressure on already fragile systems.<\/p>\n<p>Having witnessed conflict first-hand, I have seen how quickly instability can erode livelihoods, interrupt trade and undermine economic confidence.<\/p>\n<p>In today\u2019s interconnected world, resilience is no longer optional \u2014 it is a prerequisite for growth.<\/p>\n<p>This moment is also a reminder of Africa\u2019s strategic relevance.<\/p>\n<p>The Red Sea is not just a maritime passage; it is a central artery of global commerce.<\/p>\n<p>As risks intensify around both Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab, the importance of diversified and resilient African trade corridors becomes clearer.<\/p>\n<p>Ports such as Berbera and Mombasa are increasingly central to how goods move into and out of the continent.<\/p>\n<p>They connect landlocked markets to global supply chains, enable regional integration and offer alternatives that reduce dependence on single routes.<\/p>\n<p>In a more volatile world, redundancy is not inefficiency \u2014 it is resilience.<\/p>\n<p>Yet infrastructure alone will not determine Africa\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<p>The continent\u2019s growth will ultimately be driven by its entrepreneurs \u2014 a generation that is increasingly confident, globally connected and focused on solving local challenges with scalable solutions.<\/p>\n<p>This was evident at the Africa Business Conference at Harvard Business School, a platform that continues to connect African talent with global capital.<\/p>\n<p>Across discussions in Boston, Oxford and elsewhere, one theme is consistent: ambition is abundant, but alignment is not.<\/p>\n<p>Too often, global capital approaches Africa cautiously and intermittently, while local entrepreneurs operate without the sustained backing required to scale.<\/p>\n<p>The result is a persistent gap between potential and performance.<\/p>\n<p>Closing this gap requires more than dialogue.<\/p>\n<p>It requires commitment.<\/p>\n<p>More than ever, international governments and financial institutions must work in genuine partnership with indigenous companies.<\/p>\n<p>Local enterprises bring not only market knowledge, but also trust, networks and the operational capability to deliver in complex environments.<\/p>\n<p>Without this alignment, capital risks being misallocated, underutilised or disconnected from real economic impact.<\/p>\n<p>The African diaspora also plays a critical role.<\/p>\n<p>As a Somali-British business leader, I have seen how diaspora communities bridge markets, mobilise capital and transfer knowledge across borders.<\/p>\n<p>They combine global exposure with local understanding \u2014 a powerful combination in connecting investors with credible opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Africa does not need episodic engagement driven by headlines.<\/p>\n<p>It needs patient capital, long-term partnerships and institutions willing to invest through cycles \u2014 not just at their peak.<\/p>\n<p>For decades, businesses such as Dahabshiil have operated at the intersection of global finance and local economies. One lesson is clear: resilience is built on trust, networks and consistency.<\/p>\n<p>This is why diaspora remittances remain among the most reliable financial flows into Africa, often exceeding foreign direct investment.<\/p>\n<p>They are not speculative \u2014 they are sustained and deeply embedded in communities.<\/p>\n<p>Africa must now shift from consumption to production.<\/p>\n<p>That requires expanding access to credit, strengthening financial systems and unlocking both domestic and international investment.<\/p>\n<p>Local capital must be mobilised more effectively, while global investors must engage as long-term partners, not short-term participants.<\/p>\n<p>Trade will be central to this transformation. Strengthening intra-African commerce, improving cross-border infrastructure and deepening regional integration are essential.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, capital must align with local knowledge \u2014 supporting businesses capable of scaling across markets and competing globally.<\/p>\n<p>Encouragingly, progress is under way. Digital innovation is expanding financial inclusion.<\/p>\n<p>Mobile money and fintech platforms are bringing millions into the formal economy.<\/p>\n<p>New logistics corridors are reshaping trade patterns. Regional hubs are emerging.<\/p>\n<p>But momentum alone is not enough.<\/p>\n<p>Africa is not a short-term opportunity to be traded in moments of optimism.<\/p>\n<p>It is a long-term investment that requires conviction.<\/p>\n<p>For investors, the question is no longer whether Africa has potential \u2014 it clearly does.<\/p>\n<p>The question is whether they are prepared to engage with the patience and partnership that this moment demands.<\/p>\n<p>Africa does not need to be discovered. It needs to be understood \u2014 and backed accordingly.<\/p>\n<p>The opportunity is clear. The talent is proven.<\/p>\n<p>What remains is the willingness to commit.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Duale is the Chief Executive Officer of Africa Leading Money Transfer company Dahabshiil and Dahabshiil Group of Companies.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Geopolitical shocks are exposing the fragility of global trade routes.
