A Brief History of Djibouti takes readers on an insightful journey through the history of this small but strategically significant East African nation. From its ancient roots as a center of trade and migration to its role in the powerful empires of Aksum and Ifat, Djibouti has long been a crossroads of cultures, commerce, and civilizations.

This book explores the impact of French colonization, the struggle for independence in 1977, and the country's evolution into a modern republic. It also examines Djibouti's unique position as a key geopolitical hub, hosting international military bases and serving as a gateway for global trade through the Bab el Mandeb Strait.
