Waves of the massacre

The Gaza massacre continues to disperse expansive waves, and the truth is that some are going to a trend at an unpredictable beginning. It is an expansion that will either end the murder or move the crisis elsewhere.

The southern port of the Red Sea has been crossed by the most disturbing wave of the moment worldwide. Four of the five major global container shipping companies, MSC, Maersk, CMA-CGM and Hapag-Lloyd, have announced that they will not travel through the Red Sea to ensure the life and safety of crews. This means, of course, that its gigantic boats will have to travel to the southern tip of Africa until the situation is postponed, which will make transport in both directions considerably more expensive and delayed.

The Chino Cosco, the fourth quintet, seems to be keeping its normal course for the time being, with the confidence that its red flag and, whenever possible, the warship of the base of Djibouti accompanying it, will provide security. Its connection to the port of Jeddah forces Cosco in any case.

In order to realise that the Bab al-Mandeba Strait for world shipping is as decisive as the Fire Canal itself, it is enough to look at the map. But the differences go beyond one being paid and another “free”. The control and regime of the Fire Canal was, together with the demilitarization of Sinaire, the key to the peace pact that Kissinger had agreed with Sadat and Begino. The Bab al-Manestan has never been agreed between Yemen, Eritrea and Djibuti, which should necessarily be agreed, and has at times been a serious piracy ignited by the war in Somalia.

Moreover, the civil war in Yemen has placed the key to the strait in the hands of the banal victors. Because they can strike any merchant ship from the ground with aggression, even the warship would not be entirely safe. And they've started using that capacity of the voids to push Israel through the West. Understanding, moreover, the “relationship with Israel” more and more extensively. We're not going to be faced with the repetition of Ever Giv's case, but if it gets longer, it can be worse.

In addition, the Red Sea Quinca coincides with the distress of the Panama Canal. The drought has led to the artificial lake of Gatun to the lows, whose waters supply the floodgates of the canal. This has led to the streamlining of the passage, along with dramatic increases and delays. Shipping is looking red.

Fortunately, it seems that it has rained in Panama...
