Баб ел Мандеб (арап. باب المندب — врата суза)[1] је мореуз који дели Африку од Азије и спаја Црвено море и Аденски залив (Индијски океан). На афричкој страни мореуза је држава Џибути, а на азијској Јемен. Мореуз је добио име (вратена суза) због опасне навигације или, по арапској легенди, по земљотресу који је раздвојио Африку и Азију и изазвао велики број жртава (утапање). Мореуз је стратешки врло важан, а представља и један од најпрометнијих пловних путева.

Широк је око 30 km. На азијској страни се налази рт Рас Менхели, а на афричкој Рас Сиуан. Вулканско острво Перим дели мореуз у 2 канала - Баб Искендер (источни) и Дакт-ел-Маун (западни). Баб Искандер (Александров мореуз) је широк око 3 km, а дубок око 30 m, док је Дакт ел Маун широк око 25 km, а дубок око 300 m. Уз афричку обалу се налази острвски архипелаг француског назива Септ Фререс (Седмеро браће).
Источним (Баб Искендер) каналом тече јака површинска струја према Црвеном мору, а дубинска струја у супротном смеру тече западним каналом.
NameУреди
The strait derives its name from the dangers attending its navigation or, according to an Arab legend, from the numbers who were drowned by an earthquake that separated the Arabian Peninsula from the Horn of Africa.[2]
In "Bab-el-Mandeb", "Bab" refers to "gate" while "Mandeb" refers to "lamentation" or "grief".
ГеографијаУреди
The Bab-el-Mandeb acts as a strategic link between the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea via the Red Sea and the Suez Canal. In 2006, an estimated 33 Mbbl (5.200.000 m3) of oil passed through the strait per day, out of a world total of about 43 Mbbl/d (6.800.000 m3/d) moved by tankers.[3]
The distance across is about 26 km (16 mi) from Ras Menheli in Yemen to Ras Siyyan in Djibouti. The island of Perim divides the strait into two channels, of which the eastern, known as the Bab Iskender (Alexander's Strait), is 537 km (334 mi) wide and 29 m; 96 ft (16 fathoms) deep, while the western, or Dact-el-Mayun, has a width of 203 km (126 mi) and a depth of 310 m; 1.020 ft (170 fathoms). Near the coast of Djibouti lies a group of smaller islands known as the "Seven Brothers". There is a surface current inwards in the eastern channel, but a strong undercurrent outwards in the western channel.[2]
ИсторијаУреди
Paleo-environmental and tectonic events in the Miocene epoch created the Danakil Isthmus, a land bridge forming a broad connection between Yemen and Ethiopia.[4] During the last 100,000 years, eustatic sea level fluctuations have led to alternate opening and closing of the straits.[5] According to the recent single origin hypothesis,[6][7][8] the straits of Bab-el-Mandeb were probably witness to the earliest migrations of modern humans. It is presumed that the oceans were then much lower and the straits were much shallower or dry, which allowed a series of emigrations along the southern coast of Asia.
According to Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church tradition,[9][10][11][12] the straits of Bab-el-Mandeb were witness to the earliest migrations of Semitic Ge'ez speakers into Africa, occurring ц 1900 BC, roughly around the same time as the Hebrew patriarch Jacob.[13] The Kingdom of Aksum was a major regional power in the Horn of Africa. It extended its rule across the strait with the conquest of the Himyarite Kingdom shortly before the rise of Islam.
The British East India Company unilaterally seized the island of Perim in 1799 on behalf of its Indian empire. The government of Britain asserted its ownership in 1857 and erected a lighthouse there in 1861, using it to command the Red Sea and the trade routes through the Suez Canal.[2] It was used as a coaling station to refuel steamships until 1935 when the reduced use of coal as fuel rendered the operation unprofitable.[14]
The British presence continued until 1967 when the island became part of the People's Republic of South Yemen. Before the handover, the British government had put forward before the United Nations a proposal for the island to be internationalized[15][16] as a way to ensure the continued security of passage and navigation in the Bab-el-Mandeb, but this was refused.
In 2008 a company owned by Tarek bin Laden[17] unveiled plans to build a bridge named Bridge of the Horns across the strait, linking Yemen with Djibouti.[18] Middle East Development LLC issued a notice to construct a bridge passing across the Red Sea that would be the longest suspended passing in the world.[19] The project was assigned to engineering company COWI[20][21] in collaboration with architect studio Dissing+Weitling,[22] both from Denmark. It was announced in 2010 that Phase 1 had been delayed; however, as of mid-2016, nothing more has been heard about the project.
Sub-regionУреди
The Bab-el-Mandeb is also a sub-region in the Arab League, which includes Djibouti, Yemen, and Eritrea.
