Among the many questions raised by the dramatic events in the Horn of Africa none is more important or more misunderstood than that of the role played by the USA, and by its various Middle Eastern allies, in the region. The Carter Administration claims that it has avoided direct involvement in the conflicts and has berated the Soviet Union and Cuba for their intervention on the side of Ethiopia.

What has been the role of the USA and its Middle Eastern clients in the disputes of the Horn? And how has US policy evolved in recent years?
