For the first time ever, an international news channel has been given authorized access to the front line between Djibouti and Eritrea. In Mid-April 2008, Eritrea invaded the Ras Doumeira territory, a small piece of arid land and an islet strategically located at the entrance to the Red Sea. Despite backup from the French Army, Djibouti was forced to draw back while its enemy enforced its position with trenches. Since then its been a long wait in harsh conditions for the troops but officially the morale is good.




At the beginning of the conflict, the French Army - which maintains important military headquarters - provided various services to Djibouti: especially medical and intelligence services. It also played a dissuasive role which limited the Eritrean incursion. But the French soldiers who used to live in this camp have now been replaced by Djibouti armed forces. Despite the apparent calm, the Djibouti Army claims to be on maximum alert since December 15. Eritrea has asked Djibouti to hand in all deserters caught on its soil. If Djibouti doesnt cooperate Asmara threatens to attack

    i thought you were the half breed since ur half french & can speak af somali at all.

    the french camp is a laughing stock, the country is a joke to the whole world.

  • @bellacaroabdourazak

    darood never fled from mogadishu, they are still living in their normal houses as they did when ziad barre was there.

    abgal & habargidir are both weak, both are rivals clans who fought savagely for 20 years & both are under the influence of majerteen. galkayo airport is clearly a good example, falls under habargidir heartland but controlled by majerteen. since TFG was formed majerteen have taken top position president or prime minister.

    The darood empire will emerge.

  • @bellacaroabdourazak

    darood empire is only wounded but not dead, our presence can be felt from long distance, especially in puntland where the mighty rulers majerteen along their allies dhulbahante & ogaden ave completely encircled the iidoors and hawiya ave suffered 21 years of fighting, i think they had enough, they are not capable of competing with daroods, darood oweHawiye.
