0:00: 🌍 Djibouti's strategic location makes it a sought after place for military bases. 3:21: 💣 The US built a military base in Djibouti, strategically located next to Somalia and Yemen, to combat terrorism and secure trade routes in the region. 7:16: 📺 The video discusses the presence of various countries in Djibouti and the expansion of the Lumineer facility. 10:30: 🌍 Djibouti benefits from hosting foreign military bases and maintains an independent negotiating strategy with large estates. 13:06: 💰 China's infrastructure investments in Africa are driven by economic interests, particularly in accessing oil and growing trade.

[@djiboutian9899]

As a Djiboutian Since our independence on 27 June 1977 the Horn of Africa was already in turbulence due to the conflict that was happening like the Eritrean War of Independence (1961-1991), Ogaden War (1977-78), Ethiopian Civil War (1974-1991), Somali Civil War (1978-now), Eritrean-Ethiopian War (1998-2000) and our own Civil War (1991-1994) and also other battles/wars happening now. Djibouti accommodated migrants and refugees with the help of UN and WFP because of wars and famine. The French Forces remained present in Djibouti do to a provisional protocol of June 1977 laying down the conditions for the stationing of French forces, constituting a defense agreement because of the unstability of the region. There are two main linguistic and ethnic groups are the Somalis and Afars. Although most Djiboutians are Somali-speaking, national identity is fairly cohesive, being rooted in a common historical background.

[@djiboutian9899]

The New York Times said that we will not going to last for two weeks in 1977. 45 years later we are still here. As a Djiboutian i am proud of my nation.

China also uses the Belt and Road initiative (e.g. Harbour and railline) as a way to get more leverege in countries. When payments can't be made for the expensive construction work, China often get's to lease them for several decades which gives the easy access to strategic infastructure and a monopoly on trade within a different country to project their own interests

Exactly. Seems like a real bargain for the US and all those wealthy nations. I’d be charging them at a minimum, $1 million per hectare of land, and even more money for land closer to the coastline. And te newly sign deal the US signed $60 mill/year for 30 year? What are the big booty negotiators smoking giving a 30 year contract when inflation just keeps rising. 🤦‍♂️
