The
French Territory of the Afars and the Issas became Djibouti
in 1977. Hassan Gouled APTIDON installed an authoritarian
one-party state and proceeded to serve as president until
1999. Unrest among the Afars minority during the 1990s
led to a civil war that ended in 2001 following the conclusion
of a peace accord between Afar rebels and the Issa-dominated
government. In 1999, Djibouti's first multi-party presidential
elections resulted in the election of Ismail Omar GUELLEH;
he was re-elected to a second and final term in 2005.
Djibouti occupies a strategic geographic location at the
mouth of the Red Sea and serves as an important transshipment
location for goods entering and leaving the east African
highlands. The present leadership favors close ties to
France, which maintains a significant military presence
in the country, but also has strong ties with the US.
Djibouti hosts the only US military base in sub-Saharan
Africa and is a front-line state in the global war on
terrorism.

The economy is based on service activities
connected with the country's strategic location and status
as a free trade zone in the Horn of Africa. Two-thirds
of Djibouti's inhabitants live in the capital city; the
remainder are mostly nomadic herders. Scanty rainfall
limits crop production to fruits and vegetables, and most
food must be imported. Djibouti provides services as both
a transit port for the region and an international transshipment
and refueling center. Imports and exports from landlocked
neighbor Ethiopia represent 85% of port activity at Djibouti's
container terminal. Djibouti has few natural resources
and little industry. The nation is, therefore, heavily
dependent on foreign assistance to help support its balance
of payments and to finance development projects. An unemployment
rate of nearly 60% continues to be a major problem. While
inflation is not a concern, due to the fixed tie of the
Djiboutian franc to the US dollar, the artificially high
value of the Djiboutian franc adversely affects Djibouti's
balance of payments. Per capita consumption dropped an
estimated 35% between 1999 and 2006 because of recession,
civil war, and a high population growth rate (including
immigrants and refugees). Faced with a multitude of economic
difficulties, the government has fallen in arrears on
long-term external debt and has been struggling to meet
the stipulations of foreign aid donors. |
