  • DJIBOUTI: Implementing the 10- Point Plan of Action
    DJIBOUTI: Implementing the 10- Point Plan of Action Djibouti has always been a favoured destination for migrants and refugees from countries in the region, notably Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Somalia. The migrant population is estimated to represent 20 per cent of the total population of the country. The Djiboutian population shares strong ethnic links (Somali, Afar) with Somaliland, Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Yemen, which explains the migratory movements between these countries. Djibouti has been described as an oasis of peace in a stormy desert, in a sub region rife with insecurity: the ongoing threat of a border war between Eritrean and Ethiopia, the continuing battle between supporters of the Government in Somalia and the supporters of the opposition Islamists, and the recent turmoil in Kenya. The economic and political stability in the country has attracted thousands of impoverished people in search of better economic prospects. The situation took a new twist over the past two to three years with the increased use of Djibouti as a transit country by smugglers and traffickers en route to the Arab Gulf States and to Europe. The country’s proximity to more prosperous countries in the Arab Gulf and the hope to continue their journey to more developed western countries has therefore equally worked as a pull factor for migrants. During the first months of 2008, a large number of migrants and refugees chose the route by boat to Yemen via Djibouti as an alternative to exposure to reckless smugglers in Bossaso, Somalia. Since January 2008, 2,213 new arrivals from South/Central Somalia have been registered by UNHCR, the peak being in February with 1,100 persons (Jan: 251; Mar: 862).

  • Simon Imbert-Vier Afars, Issas... and the Making of the "Djiboutian Nation
    CIEA7 #39: THE ROLE OF REGIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL ACTORS INTHE CONFLICT RESOLUTION PROCESS IN AFRICA AND INSIGHTS FROM THE HORN OF AFRICA. Simon Imbert-Vier [email protected] Afars, Issas... and the making of the "djiboutian nation": an historical view In 1977, the territory around the Gulf of Tajura, then Territoire français des Afars et des Issas, rose out the colonial situation divided into two groups, presented as irreducible and antagonist. This division is maintained after the independence. For instance, after the fight ruled by FRUD from 1991 to get integrated into the Djiboutian nation, it is because of their declared "afarity" that the civilians leaving North of the country are confronted to a military repression. If the official speeches denounce regularly "ethnicity" and “tribalism” – all the governments and their oppositions affirm themselves as "multi-ethic" since the first one in 1958 –, doing so is only putting on and reinforcing its obviousness. Truly, there are individual and collective circulation between the groups, and the making of a boundary between them have proved to be impossible. They are constructions lsinked to a political and social situation, ideological resources that can be mobilisable by the individuals according to their needs. This communication proposes to detail the history of some "ethnical" denominations in the Djiboutian area and the stakes they carry, from the first European descriptions in the middle of the 19th Century up to the independence.

    briefing paper page 1 Djibouti: Changing Influence in the Horn’s Strategic Hub David Styan Africa Programme | April 2013 | AFP BP 2013/01 Summary points zz Change in Djibouti’s economic and strategic options has been driven by four factors: the Ethiopian–Eritrean war of 1998–2000, the impact of Ethiopia’s economic transformation and growth upon trade; shifts in US strategy since 9/11, and the upsurge in piracy along the Gulf of Aden and Somali coasts. zz With the expansion of the US AFRICOM base, the reconfiguration of France’s military presence and the establishment of Japanese and other military facilities, Djibouti has become an international maritime and military laboratory where new forms of cooperation are being developed. zz Djibouti has accelerated plans for regional economic integration. Building on close ties with Ethiopia, existing port upgrades and electricity grid integration will be enhanced by the development of the northern port of Tadjourah. zz These strategic and economic shifts have yet to be matched by internal political reforms, and growth needs to be linked to strategies for job creation and a renewal of domestic political legitimacy. www.chathamhouse.org Djibouti: Changing Influence in the Horn’s Strategic Hub page 2 Djibouti 0 25 50 km 0 10 20 30 mi Red Sea National capital District capital Ras Doumeira Town, village B Airport, airstrip a b Wadis ERITREA a l- M International boundary a n d District boundary a b Main road Railway Moussa Ali ETHIOPIA OBOCK N11 N11 To Elidar Balho Obock N14 TADJOURA N11 N14 Gulf of Aden Tadjoura N9 Galafi Lac Assal Golfe de Tadjoura N1 N9 N9 Doraleh DJIBOUTI N1 Ghoubbet Arta N9 El Kharab DJIBOUTI N9 N1 DIKHIL N5 N1 N1 ALI SABIEH N5 N5 Abhe Bad N1 (Lac Abhe) Ali Sabieh DJIBOUTI Dikhil N5 To Dire Dawa SOMALIA/ ETHIOPIA SOMALILAND Source: United Nations Department of Field Support, Cartographic Section, Djibouti Map No.

  • Migrant Smuggling: Paths from the Horn of Africa to Yemen and Saudi
    Migrant smuggling Paths from the Horn of Africa to Yemen and Saudi Arabia Peter Tinti This report examines the smuggling networks facilitating irregular migration from the Horn of Africa to countries in the Arabian Peninsula, also referred to as the Gulf. In addition to analysing the structure and modus operandi of migrant smuggling networks, the author considers the extent to which these networks are involved in other forms of organised criminal activity, such as arms and narcotics trafficking. The report concludes with recommendations for policymakers and stakeholders operating in the Horn of Africa and Yemen. AFRICA IN THE WORLD REPORT 7 | NOVEMBER 2017 Introduction Key points Although it receives far less media and policy attention, the number of Foreign donors and bilateral irregular migrants travelling from the Horn of Africa to Yemen and Saudi partners should promote Arabia dwarfs the number migrating from the Horn of Africa toward Europe. general capacity-building of In 2016, a record 117 107 irregular arrivals were recorded in Yemen, 83% of relevant state institutions, which were Ethiopian.

  • Djibouti, Tadjoura
    UNIVERSITY OF COPENH AGEN FACULTY OF HUMANITIE S The City of Tadjoura Collection Djibouti 2017 Michele Petrone (ToRS – IslHornAfr – Postdoc) Introduction The mission in Tadjoura is the second part of larger project of inquiry about the Islamic manuscript tradition in Djibouti, started in 2016 in the framework of the Islam in the Horn of Africa project: A Comparative Literary Approach. This mission has been carried out by Sara Fani and Michele Petrone, with the participation of Dr. Aramis Soulé and prof. Eloi Fiquet (EHESS). Thanks to the latter’s efforts, together with the help of the Institut des recherches archéologiques et historiques (IRAH) and the Centre d'étude et de recherche de Djibouti (CERD), we have been granted access to the collection of the manuscripts of the city of Tadjoura. The collection is the result of the efforts of the Sultan of Tadjoura,ʻAbdulkâdir (ʻAbdo) b. Húmmed b. Mahámmad. B. Arbahim, in retrieving the remains of the local patrimony after the revolution and the independence (1976) and the civil war (1992-96). The historic boundaries of the Sultanate are quite similar to the ones of the actual Region of Tadjoura, confining at West with Ethiopia (Awsa region), at North with Eritrea, at East with the region of Obock and at South-South East there is the Gulf of Tadjoura. Didier Morin reports that the frontiers of the sultanate are proclaimed during the enthronement: “Apprenez que son domain va de Fūdusà-dā au col de Sebbāʻò”1 This indicates that the boundaries of the Sultan’s domain virtually goes from lake Assal2 to Assab (Sebāʻò), extending its influence beyond its actual geographic limits.

  • New Imperialism and the Legal Disentanglement of Dichotomies
    New Imperialism and the Legal Disentanglement of Dichotomies New Imperialism and the Legal Disentanglement of Dichotomies This thesis will, firstly, construct the factual and legal fundaments on which the (research of the) master thesis rests, by defining New Imperialism and analyzing its factual and legal implications in practice. Secondly, it analyzes the legal doctrine with regard to colonialism, more specifically, New Imperialism in the framework of the law of nations in the second half of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century. In this respect, a special focus will be laid on the relation between the colonizing power and the peoples on the newly discovered, conquered and occupied territories. And, thirdly, it (partly) deconstructs the leading and determining dichotomy in international law between the civilized and non-civilized world in the second half of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century. Addressing the strengths and weaknesses of several dichotomies, like naturalism v. positivism, civilization v. non-civilization and territorial sovereignty v. private property of land, will be the central issue throughout the thesis.
