The Horn of Africa or Somali Peninsula is a peninsula of East Africa that juts for hundreds of kilometers into the Arabian Sea, and lies along the southern side of the Gulf of Aden. It is the easternmost projection of the African continent.
It indeed resembles in outline the horn of an animal — perhaps especially, the horns of the Black Rhinoceros, whose historic range includes parts of Ethiopia:
- Its orientation relative to the Equator approximates that of either rhino horn relative to the ground.
- The angle between its northern and southeastern coasts approximates that at the tip of the rhino's upper horn.
- The concavity of its northern coast, and convexity of its southern, echo similar curvatures on the rhino's lower horn.
The term also refers to the greater region containing the countries of Djibouti, Ethiopia, Eritrea and Somalia. As such, it covers approximately 2,000,000 km² and is inhabited by about 86.5 million people. Sudan and Kenya are sometimes included as well.
