Djibouti

A detailed Summary of Djibouti


Djibouti is a small country in the northeastern part of Africa. The

country got its name for its one and only 'big city', Djibouti.

According to Encarta Djibouti was and area where, many years ago

(100,000), people begin to migrate over to the Middle East. Anyway,

Encarta goes on about some kingdoms and how Islam was introduced to the

country and eventually it gets to something relevant to this class... It says

that in the second half of the 16th century Europeans begin trading coffee and

perfumes with the sultanates of Djibouti.

France wanted to challenge Britain with trading so they made a bunch

of treaties with some rulers of Djibouti and basically got control of the

country. This seems pretty simple, but this is the way Encarta says it

happened. Anyway France chose Djibouti, as in the city, because it would be

a good place to have a railroad, it would link with Addis Ababa. By 1917

France had made the railroad. Large amounts of people began to migrate to

In 1946 France made Djibouti its own and called it French

Somaliland. Djiboutians voted to remain under French administration, ten


faults. The land is mostly rocky desert with scattered drought-tolerant

democratic constitution was adopted in 1992. Much like in the US, people

Djibouti apparently exports nothing and needs the support of France
