It also presented a range of future scenarios for foreign presence in the region, suggesting that increased international and regional competition would lead to a greater military presence serving the interests of these powers, securing their influence, and strengthening their capabilities.<\/h4>\n<h4>The findings emphasized that various international and regional powers view the Horn of Africa as a strategically significant and influential geographical location.<\/h4>\n<h4>Following the defense, the committee announced its decision to accept the thesis and award the student the degree of Master\u2019s.<\/h4>\n<h4>For its part, the Dean\u2019s Office of the College of Political Science at the University of Mosul congratulated its faculty members on this academic achievement, wishing
