Will give brainliest answer if correct. select all that apply! the countries on the horn of africa enjoy what advantages? being close to shipping lanes great mineral wealth being near south asia and europe proximity to middle eastern oil temperate climate

SOS:

The geographic location of Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti, and Somalia, puts them close to the Middle East—an important source of oil. They are also near the shipping lanes of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. Additionally, countries on the Horn of Africa are strategically located between South Asia and Europe.

Hope this helps!

just need the points

explanation:

after a more than a decade and a half of combating al qaeda (aq) in afghanistan and pakistan,

the united states faces a diverse array of threats from al qaeda affiliates in the middle east and

africa. while senior al qaeda figures reportedly remain based in pakistan, the network includes

a number of affiliates across the middle east and africa including al qaeda in the arabian

peninsula (aqap), al qaeda in the islamic maghreb (aqim), and al shabaab. al qaeda also

retains a small but possibly growing presence in afghanistan. u.s. officials have stated that al

qaeda still maintains a foothold in syria through its ties to hay’at tahrir al sham (formerly

known as the nusra front), though the exact nature of that relationship may be evolving. this

report examines the threat posed by al qaeda affiliates in the middle east and africa as described

by u.s. officials and outside observers, as well as the u.s. approach to date in responding to these

threats. this was all i could find hope this : )
