Djibouti

Djibouti is a small country located in the Horn of Africa. It is bordered by Eritrea to the north, Ethiopia to the west and south, and Somalia to the southeast. The capital and largest city is Djibouti City.

The population of Djibouti is primarily made up of two ethnic groups: the Somali and Afar people. The official languages are French and Arabic, with Somali and Afar also widely spoken.

Djibouti has a strategic location at the entrance to the Red Sea, making it an important port for international trade and a key military base for several countries, including the United States and France. The economy is largely based on services, including shipping, logistics, and finance.

Despite its small size, Djibouti has a diverse landscape that includes deserts, mountains, and beaches. The country is known for its unique wildlife, including the endemic Djibouti francolin and the endangered dugong.

Djibouti faces challenges such as high unemployment, poverty, and political instability. However, the government has made efforts to promote economic development and attract foreign investment.
