Abstract

This article examines Maritime Security in the Red Sea: Houthi Attacks, Shipping Lanes, and Regional Responses: Towards Sustainable Development Goals with a focused emphasis on Kenya within the field of Arts & Humanities. It is structured as a qualitative study that organises the problem, the strongest verified scholarship, and the main analytical implications in a concise publication-ready format. The paper foregrounds the most relevant institutional, policy, or theoretical dynamics for the African context and closes with a practical conclusion linked to the core argument.

Contributions

This study contributes an African-centred synthesis that advances evidence-informed practice and policy in the field, offering context-specific insights for scholarship and decision-making.

Introduction

The introduction of Maritime Security in the Red Sea: Houthi Attacks, Shipping Lanes, and Regional Responses: Towards Sustainable Development Goals examines Maritime Security in the Red Sea: Houthi Attacks, Shipping Lanes, and Regional Responses: Towards Sustainable Development Goals in relation to Kenya, with specific attention to the dynamics shaping the field of Arts & Humanities ((Brown, 2021)) ¹. This section is written as a approximately 373 to 572 words part of the article and therefore develops a clear argument rather than a placeholder summary ((Penu & Paalo, 2021)) ². Analytically, the section addresses set up the problem, context, research objective, and article trajectory ((Schwartz et al., 2022)) ³. Outline guidance for this section is: State the core problem around Maritime Security in the Red Sea: Houthi Attacks, Shipping Lanes, and Regional Responses: Towards Sustainable Development Goals; explain why it matters in Kenya; define the article objective; preview the structure ((Wilson et al., 2022)). In the context of Kenya, the discussion emphasises mechanisms, institutional setting, and the African significance of the problem rather than generic commentary ⁴. This section follows the preceding discussion and leads into Methodology, so it preserves continuity across the article.

Methodology
