Djibouti is a tiny nation in the middle of a heavily militarized region in the Horn of Africa and only 26 km away from the Arabian peninsula. But it's got impor…

Africa has potential; every African nation has either a strategic location, huge natural resources, or both. It's an ideal place to live for the rest of your life, like paradise. Unfortunately, these have been wasted, and African people suffer because of a lack of leadership and strategic thinking. Djibouti is quite an example of these failing systems. Since independence, not a single institution has been built to serve people rather than operating, making them suffer, and causing lasting pain. If these resources had been managed well, this tiny land would be the Dubai of Africa. <br><br>I don't know if Ismaacil who 80 years or above why does he need such money and power? He is going to die. Maybe he is thinking the money will go to the grave. He should know that the material world will change nothing.
Um…..Somaliland isn’t even a real country
So much money and people live in poverty? That's not business, it is corruption. Something the "major powers" know so well how to do
Since its independence the Republic of Djibouti have been a stable country in destroubling region of the Horn of Africa. The NY Times called it the tiny new nation had no army, less than one square mile of arable land and no resources except sand, salt and 20,000 camels in 1977.
Djibouti do not need those military bases since the people do not make profit of it , the president was born in Ethiopia , he is not a citizen working hard to destabilize others Somali regions but what goes around comes around.
Sudan is not a Civil War its a proxy war between emirates supported mercenaries and the Sudan Army
It could easily explode ...
Very interesting clip. Informative.
Where there is military Base Camp of Different Super power countries............<br>That's country is known as Ticking Time Bomb Country...............<br>And, <br>Such Country is Controlled by Other Super power countries..........<br>At last Djibouti will be A Battle ground for supper power countries........... <br>😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
The Horn of Africa and northeast Africa are nothing but trouble<br><br>Always producing instability and turbulence and upheaval 😡
😂😂 this is a propoganda piece. Dijbouti has been exploiting neighbouring countries ever since its illegitimate existence. It was part of Somaliland until 1977 when agreement was reached that as long as they do not interfere with Somaliland territory they can get independence. However, Dijbouti has been interfering and fighting with neighbouring countries ever since. Djibouti has gone to the African Union to wipe records of Somaliland records claiming they cannot get Independence. Even though, it was Somaliland they were part of and have a demarcated borders with. Dijbouti engages in illegal activities such as arms smuggling, khat smuggling and financing of groups to infiltrate neighbouring. More importantly, the current dictatorship of Ismail<br>Omar Gulleh is a brutal one family run endeavours which allows now real challenges to it. Overall, Djbouti has been the main catalyst of all of the conflicts and wars in the region. It were countries go when they want to exploit neighbours land air or Sea. Djbouti actively finance campaigns from there.
It's to make sure any country has an endless war 😢
Everyone wants it
jajaja..anouncing a new colony? what a joke
If I had a country in that neighbourhood, I would court each of the bigger powers to host bases, but to also demand money for infrastructure development and social services for the public to support those bases - this is how it works 🤷♀️
"semi-autonomous region of Somaliland" SEMI? It is fully independent.
Do not lie there is no conflict between Eritrea and ethiopia.There is on going civil war in ethiopia
They are divided peoples to benefit from them nothing else matters to others o body loves them!.
As those bases but the houthis is still bombing ships
Calculus in Washington? That's generous. The entire DOD is being ran by fools at this point. I bet Russia and China are already actively trying to buy off the people surrounding Hegseth and convince him to pull out of the Middle East.
There are big problems with Djibouti. It’s an hereditary dictatorship where human rights and rule of law don’t exist. You can do a lot if you hold a gun to people’s head. Democracies needs to reflect this in their interactions with them.
I get it that it's about Djibouti and I respect that.<br>But presenting inaccurate information about the neighbour as comparison is bad.<br>Somaliland does have military bases/half military infrastructure built by UAE and Israel...<br>Even if they denied it it's telling when you can see a 'love UAE ' sign next to a new airstrip 😅<br>And a new port doesn't build itself...
The port was actually built by the Emirates. It was confiscated and given to the Chinese.
Countries set bases there because Djibouti's politically neutral. Somaliland is a trouble itself.
Free Balochistan from Pakistan dollar army
It can’t be reproduced because its geopolitics is different from other countries
