Djibouti
formerly (1885-1967)French Somaliland(1967-77)French Territory of the Afars and IssasRepublic, eastern Africa, on the Gulf of Aden at the entrance to the Red Sea. Area: 8,880 sq mi (22,999 sq km). Population (1997): 622,000. Capital: Djibouti. Over half of the people are Issas and related Somali clans; Afars are nearly two-fifths; the balance includes Yemeni Arabs and Europeans, mostly French. Languages: French, Arabic (both official). Religion: Sunnite Islam. Currency: Djibouti franc. Djibouti is divided into three principal regions: the coastal plain; the volcanic plateaus in the country's south and center; and the mountain ranges in the north, reaching 6,654 ft (2,028 m) at Mount Mousa. The land is primarily desert: hot, dry, and desolate; less than 1% is arable. Djibouti has a developing market economy that is almost entirely based on trade and commercial services, centering around Djibouti city. The country is a republic with one legislative house; its head of state and government is the president. Settled around the 3rd century BC by the Arab ancestors of the Afars, it was later populated by Somali Issas. In AD 825, Islam was brought to the area by missionaries. Arabs controlled the trade in this region until the 16th century; it became the French protectorate of French Somaliland in 1888. In 1946 it became a French overseas territory, and in 1977 gained its independence. In the late 20th century, the country has received refugees from the Ethiopian-Somali war, and from civil conflicts in Eritrea. In the 1990s it suffered from political unrest.
