History
Djibouti is important for its strategic location on the strait between the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea. France obtained a foothold in the area in 1862 and organized it as a colony, French Somaliland, in 1896. The colony gained territorial status in 1946 and was renamed the French Territory of the Afars and the Issas in 1967. In a 1967 referendum the Afars voted to continue ties with France, while the Issas voted for independence and eventual reunion with Somalia. Djibouti became independent in 1977 under Pres. Hassan Gouled Aptidon, who established a single-party state in 1981. The country has been adversely affected by warfare in and between neighboring Ethiopia and Somalia. Tensions between Afars and the Issa-dominated government led to an Afar rebellion in 1991 that finally ended in 2000. Limited multiparty elections were restored under a 1992 constitution and Gouled was reelected in 1993. The 1999 presidential elections were won by Ismail Omar Guelleh, the government candidate. The French remain a strong military and technical presence in Djibouti, and the United States has also established (2002) a base in the strategically located nation.
