| Summary: | The contemporary history of the Horn of Africa shows an area fractured by the political and geopolitical hazards within each country. Recently, the conflict in Yemen has yet again created a rift across the maritime space, between the African and Arab shores. But does this mean that there are no relations between both people? Over three time periods, contained between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 21st, this article aims to show the relations between Djiboutian and Yemeni fishermen. The evolution of this relationship parallels history: the development of the French Somali Coast colony; the independence of Djibouti and its first decades; the instability in Yemen and the 2010s war. From the development of fishing in Djibouti to Yemen and its fish markets, this article studies the common history of conflicts and trade between the shores of the Red Sea.
