LIVE ONLINE! Great Decisions: Red Sea Security

The Red Sea has remained vital for global trade since the time of ancient Egypt. Once home to the spice trade, the Red Sea now sees millions of barrels of oil a day transported across its waters. With major nations like China, France, Italy, and the U.S. building large ports and bases in the region, what does the future of the region look like? How important is Red Sea security for global security? Can the region be a place of global cooperation?

Great Decisions, produced by the Foreign Policy Association (FPA), is America’s largest civic discussion program on world affairs. Discussions will run live online weekly each Thursday from April 2 – May 7. Each week we will cover a topic of great importance to Americans and a discussion of American policy will be facilitated along with viewing a short video. The Foreign Policy Association has made all the videos available free online. A link to the video is listed below for each discussion. We will be streaming the video via Zoom during the first half hour, for those who want to watch with the group. Attend the entire series of discussions or one discussion. No previous registration is required. The program series is co-sponsored by Quimper Unitarian Universalist Fellowship’s Adult Learning Program.
