American geopolitical analyst Andrew Korybko argued that Eritrea's strategy of using regional actors as proxies could further disrupt the fragile balance in the Horn of Africa. The assessment was published via an Addis Ababa-based outlet.

According to Korybko, the strategy has the potential to deepen existing fault lines in the region and increase insecurity in neighboring countries. The analyst emphasized that the situation is not confined to Eritrea alone and could broadly affect regional stability.

Regional observers say growing external involvement in the Horn of Africa in recent years has complicated local conflicts. International actors' policies toward the region are expected to be closely watched in the period ahead.
