Djibouti was originally inhabited by nomadic tribes, the main ones being the Afars and the Issas, who are strongly linked to Ethiopia and Somalia respectively. In 1862, the French signed a treaty with the Afar leaders, giving them land on the north coast. During the rest of the 19th century, Djibouti gradually became more firmly associated with France. In 1945, French Somaliland (as the area was called) was declared an overseas territory and in 1967, it became the French territory of the Afars and Issas. In 1977, the French agreed to withdraw and the country achieved independence.

I love Djibouti. I used to wake-up to their national anthem every morning when I was there.
