@@rewardharawa2680I’d instead look at Singapore. This is literally the most comparable yet so different country there is. Singapore has so many similarities and was poor just few decades ago. Focusing on bringing investors instead of just foreign armies should be the goal. But it sadly does need the foreign armies as Djibouti’s army cannot fight off its neighbours and doesn’t have programs to train every citizen like Spore or Korea does.

As someone from Djibouti, if I give my thoughts on foreign military presence, it's quite intimidating seeing these military bases with their soldiers armed right on roads and along side beaches in the middle of the city, where we commute in our daily life. We do hear quite often jet fighters with their bursting sounds as well. But it seems that we've adapted to it.

I’m from Djibouti, my grandfathers family owned many plots of land that the current US Military Base sits on. The government in Djibouti forced us to sell it. Since many of you can’t comprehend an extension of the base let me explain, Camp Lemonnier was always there. There was an expansion in 2006 that lead many civilians selling their land back to the Djibouti Government so they can lease it to the Americans. Crazy how a concept of expansion of a military base is hard to believe. Djibouti is about the size of New Jersey, with about 3/4ths of that being habitable and suitable for human life. It’s the lowest point in Africa and one of the lowest in the world, yet a commentator wants to believe that Djibouti is a Greenland, which is comical as hell. I have notarized documents of the sale from 2006. I also find it hilarious that the other Somalis in the comments have no issue with this statement because is known amongst our people. Some random buttfock in Arkansas wants to tell me the story of grandfathers inherited land is quite hilarious.

Truth be told ethiopia deserves a port , Eritrea took all the port and blocked ethiopia from getting anything for decades , and Djibouti charges extreme tax , When there is a literal agreement signed between french n Italian colonisers to lease a port from ethiopian kingdom 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮 we hv like documents to prove that

It still blows my mind when seemingly serious people pretend like the hegemony we’ve existed under is a “rules based order”. You can’t name a single “rule” that the US doesn’t violate and freely allow its allies to violate, so in what way can you say the order has ever been “rules based” beyond just accepting the hegemon’s claim that it is at face value in spite of all evidence?
