A key point to understand #SaudiArabia's involvement and interest in peace in #Sudan has always been its investments on the other coast of the #RedSea to help solve food and water scarcity.
Another recent agreement between Saudi Arabia and #Ghana aims at diversifying such vital interests.
It thus comes in competition with #UAE's own earlier and massive investments in Africa, especially throughout the Horn.

Behind the Sting: Jellyfish Behavior in the Red Sea
Jellyfish have been part of the ocean’s story for more than 500 million years — long before fish, coral reefs, or even dinosaurs. I filmed these mesmerizing drifters while diving off the coast of Egypt, capturing their rhythm as sunlight filtered through the water. Here’s a closer look at what makes jellyfish so fascinating — from their unique biology to how they fit into the ocean’s food chain.
Jump to: Video · Jellyfish behavior · Who eats jellyfish? · Sting & beach safety · Why they matter Filmed off the coast of Egypt using a GoPro Hero 6 Black and edited in Final Cut Pro.Jellyfish Behavior: The Ocean’s Timeless Drifters
Jellyfish don’t swim the way fish do — they pulse. Each slow movement pushes them forward as currents carry them through the water. When conditions are just right, hundreds or even thousands can gather into large groups known as blooms, sometimes visible from above the surface.
Not every jellyfish looks the same. Some, like the Cassiopea or “upside-down jelly,” rest on the seafloor waving their short tentacles upward. Others, like comb jellies, aren’t true jellyfish at all but close relatives that shimmer with rainbow light as they drift.
They have no brain, heart, or bones — just a simple web of nerves that senses light and movement. Yet some species, like box jellies, can learn from experience — proof that intelligence in the ocean comes in many forms.
Who Eats Jellyfish?
Jellyfish may be delicate, but
FAQs
What’s a jellyfish bloom?A natural gathering of jellyfish driven by warm water, ocean currents, and plenty of food. Some blooms stretch for miles.
Can a dead jellyfish still sting?Yes — the stinging cells stay active for hours or even days. Avoid touching any jellyfish, even if it looks lifeless.
Who eats jellyfish?Sea turtles, ocean sunfish, some crabs, and even other jellyfish rely on them as a major food source.
@GunterFehlinger says #Somaliland deserves #EU #Recognition now. After 33 years of democratic success, it's time to anchor this #RedSea ally with #European Partnership Package, including #trade, #monetary #stability, & #Infrastructure #Investment.
