OSAC Crime & Safety Report Djibouti 2020 OSAC Crime & Safety Report This is an annual report produced in conjunction with the Regional Security Office at the U.S. Embassy in Djibouti. OSAC encourages travelers to use this report to gain baseline knowledge of security conditions in Djibouti. For more in-depth information, review OSAC’s Djibouti country page for original OSAC reporting, consular messages, and contact information, some of which may be available only to private- sector representatives with an OSAC password. Travel Advisory The current U.S. Department of State Travel Advisory at the date of this report’s publication assesses Djibouti at Level 1, indicating travelers should exercise normal precautions. Review OSAC’s report, Understanding the Consular Travel Advisory System. Overall Crime and Safety Situation Crime Threats The U.S. Department of State has assessed Djibouti as being a MEDIUM-threat location for crime directed at or affecting official U.S. government interests. Most reported incidents are crimes of opportunity (e.g. pickpocketing, petty theft) for immediate gain. Panhandlers and street children target foreigners for petty theft by creating distractions. Exercise caution in congested areas (e.g. the central market, the city center, downtown neighborhoods known locally as quartiers), especially after dark. Avoid isolated areas, particularly along the urban coastline. The large number of illegal immigrants/refugees and unemployed Djiboutians loitering downtown and in other areas expatriates frequent may allow criminals to roam undetected. People in congested areas (e.g. port, market areas, city center) are at greatest risk for street crime. Do not to give money to people who wash your cars without permission, or who watch your car while you park. U.S. nationals are generally the only people who give money, and this leads to further targeting. Do not give money to peddlers and street children, as this can easily lead to being swarmed by additional individuals, who can become aggressive. Criminals have shown a willingness to break into vehicles to gain access to high-value items such as cellular telephones, and other electronic devices. Vehicle theft is on the rise over the past year. Review OSAC’s reports, All That You Should Leave Behind. There have been burglaries attempted against expatriate residences in proximity to U.S. embassy housing in recent years. Perpetrators generally lack the sophistication to overcome robust residential security measures (e.g. substantial doors, grille work, static guards). Crimes have occurred where residents left windows and doors unlocked and where no guard was present. Review OSAC’s reports, Hotels: The Inns and Outs and Considerations for Hotel Security. The abuse of hashish, khat (a legal, socially acceptable drug that tends to increase aggressiveness among users during the first 30-40 minutes it is consumed) and more recently the introduction of marijuana may exacerbate criminal activity. Djibouti 2020 OSAC Crime & Safety Report The Embassy has received reports of several scams in recent years: • One scam involves locals approaching U.S. nationals and falsely claiming to work for the U.S. military or as local employees of the U.S. Embassy. They claim to have car problems and ask either for a ride somewhere or to borrow money. Such individuals are most likely not associated with the U.S. military or the U.S. Embassy, but use the purported association to exploit unsuspecting targets. • Another scam involves someone who waits behind your vehicle as you back out of a parking space and purposely runs into or drives their bicycle/motorcycle into the back of your vehicle. The impact and noise frighten most people. Upon seeing someone lying on the ground and writhing in pain, most assume that this person was in their blind spot and that they have hit and hurt them. Most of these scammers will ask for money for medical bills, etc. This is a scam; get the local police involved immediately and explain to them that you believe it to be a scam. Cybersecurity Issues Review OSAC’s reports, Cybersecurity Basics, Best Practices for Maximizing Security on Public Wi-Fi, Traveling with Mobile Devices: Trends & Best Practices, and Satellite Phones: Critical or Contraband? Transportation-Safety Situation Road Safety and Road Conditions Driving conditions are hazardous throughout Djibouti. Road surfaces outside the capital are greatly improved from previous years, but roads are still precarious in many parts of the country. The government, with assistance from the EU, has constructed a paved road linking Tadjoura and Obock, significantly increasing the level of safety and ease of travel on the north coast. Roads outside Djibouti city lack proper lighting. Travel only during daylight hours. Very few areas in the country feature roadside assistance. You must have a U.S. driver’s license or International Driving Permit to drive in Djibouti. The use of cell phones while driving is illegal. Exercise caution at intersections; drivers often run red lights and do not stop at intersections. Third-party liability insurance is mandatory, and you must display the insurance sticker. Reputable car rental firms can include the services of a driver. Hazards include poorly constructed roads, lack of safety rails, poor vehicle conditions, slow-moving truck traffic, and wayward pedestrians/animals. Drivers should be aware of unsafe road surfaces, unskilled drivers, and the presence of non-roadworthy vehicles on all roads. Many drivers consume khat, which can lead to erratic, unpredictable, and unsafe driving behavior drivers; be especially alert when driving between 1500-1700. Drivers frequently change lanes into oncoming traffic without looking, and expect oncoming vehicles to get out of their way even though they are in violation of recognized traffic rules. Obey posted speed limits (where present) and always drive defensively. Do not drive night, especially as street lighting is limited and frequently non-existent. Pedestrians do not look when crossing the road, and frequently walk out into traffic. Animals (e.g. goats, camels, stray dogs) often wander into traffic. Nomads in rural areas sometimes place rocks on the roads to stop vehicles and demand water/transportation, providing an opportunity for theft of high-value items from stopped vehicles. Djibouti 2020 OSAC Crime & Safety Report Vehicle collisions remain the Embassy’s number one safety concern. Visitors involved in traffic accidents should attempt to exchange insurance information with the other party and summon police assistance if possible. Do not make restitution at the scene, especially if livestock or pedestrians are involved. Be wary of crowds gathering at the scene of an accident, and depart immediately if you perceive a threat to your safety. The number of serious vehicle accidents has steadily grown over the past five years, as the number of vehicles, to include large truck traffic along the Djibouti-Ethiopia corridor, has increased. As Djibouti is the primary port for goods entering Ethiopia, there are numerous large trucks transporting goods at all hours. These trucks vary in condition from well-maintained to poorly maintained and operated. Truck accidents along the Djibouti-Galafi road are common, and drivers will attempt to pass slow-moving trucks on inclines where there is limited visibility. This greatly increases the likelihood of head on collisions. While the government recently paved the primary truck route from Djibouti to Galafi, the main border crossing into Ethiopia, some areas continue to have major potholes, with large sections unpaved or damaged. This highway has reduced the time to travel between the two cities, and has significantly improved driving conditions. However, the improved road resulted in increased speeds and higher likelihood of serious accidents. Stay on paved roads. Unmarked land mines exist in the border region with Eritrea, though most landmines have been marked or cleared from border regions. An unsolved border dispute with Eritrea has led to restrictions on travel to many areas in the north. In many instances, approval from the government is required to travel north of Obock. There have been some communications between governments, and tensions have lowered, but work on resolution to the issues continues. Review OSAC’s reports, Road Safety Abroad, Driving Overseas: Best Practices, and Evasive Driving Techniques; and read the State Department’s webpage on driving and road safety abroad. Public Transportation Conditions Public transportation is unreliable and unsafe due to unsafe driving practices and crimes of opportunity. Hotels and airports shuttle services are a safe alternative. The capital city and the towns of Obock and Tadjoura have intercity bus and ferry services. An electric limited rail, replacing the old Ethio-Djibouti railway, began operation in 2016 with freight service. Aviation/Airport Conditions Djibouti–Ambouli International Airport (JIB) services direct flights to regional locations as well as major international hubs such as Paris, Istanbul, Doha, and Dubai. As there is no direct commercial air service to the United States by carriers registered in Djibouti, the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has not assessed the government of Djibouti’s Civil Aviation Authority for compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aviation safety standards. There have been several incidents involving departures from Somalia. Due to security concerns, U.S. embassy personnel may not take commercial

  • Countering Terrorism in East Africa: the U.S
    Countering Terrorism in East Africa: The U.S. Response Lauren Ploch Analyst in African Affairs November 3, 2010 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R41473 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Countering Terrorism in East Africa: The U.S. Response Summary The United States government has implemented a range of programs to counter violent extremist threats in East Africa in response to Al Qaeda’s bombing of the U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya in 1998 and subsequent transnational terrorist activity in the region. These programs include regional and bilateral efforts, both military and civilian. The programs seek to build regional intelligence, military, law enforcement, and judicial capacities; strengthen aviation, port, and border security; stem the flow of terrorist financing; and counter the spread of extremist ideologies. Current U.S.-led regional counterterrorism efforts include the State Department’s East Africa Regional Strategic Initiative (EARSI) and the U.S. military’s Combined Joint Task Force – Horn of Africa (CJTF-HOA), part of U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM). The United States has also provided significant assistance in support of the African Union’s (AU) peace operations in Somalia, where the country’s nascent security forces and AU peacekeepers face a complex insurgency waged by, among others, Al Shabaab, a local group linked to Al Qaeda that often resorts to terrorist tactics. The State Department reports that both Al Qaeda and Al Shabaab pose serious terrorist threats to the United States and U.S. interests in the region. Evidence of linkages between Al Shabaab and Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, across the Gulf of Aden in Yemen, highlight another regional dimension of the threat posed by violent extremists in the area.

    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.

  • Djibouti 2019 Crime & Safety Report
    Djibouti 2019 Crime & Safety Report This is an annual report produced in conjunction with the Regional Security Office at the U.S. Embassy in Djibouti, Djibouti. According to The current U.S. Department of State Travel Advisory at the date of this report’s publication assesses Djibouti at Level 1, indicating travelers should exercise normal precautions. Overall Crime and Safety Situation The U.S. Embassy in Djibouti does not assume responsibility for the professional ability or integrity of the persons or firms appearing in this report. The ACS Unit cannot recommend a particular individual or location and assumes no responsibility for the quality of service provided. Review OSAC’s Djibouti-specific page for original OSAC reporting, consular messages, and contact information, some of which may be available only to private-sector representatives with an OSAC password. Crime Threats There is moderate risk from crime in Djibouti. Most reported incidents are crimes of opportunity (e.g. pickpocketing, petty theft) for immediate gain. Panhandlers and street children target foreigners for petty theft by creating distractions. Unreported crimes also commonly occur within the local community. Exercised caution in congested areas such as the central market, city center, and downtown neighborhoods (known locally as quartiers), especially after dark. Avoid isolated areas, particularly along the urban coastline. The large number of illegal immigrants/refugees and unemployed Djiboutians loitering downtown and in other areas expatriates frequent may allow criminals to roam undetected. People in congested areas (e.g. port, market areas, and city center) are at greatest risk for street crime. Do not give money to people who wash your cars without permission, or who watch your car while parked.

Rotberg he greater Horn of Africa thrusts itself toward Yemen and Thence the heart of Arabia and the Persian/Arab Gulf. Within the complex region of northeastern Africa that extends from the peaks of Kilimanjaro to the depression of Djibouti and from the deserts of Chad to the Red Sea and on southward, past Cape Guardafui, to the barren coastline of Punt, there are 149 million people, more than half of whom are Muslims.1 For geostrategic reasons, especially in an era of terror, Yemen belongs naturally to this greater Horn of Africa region, adding another 20 million people, virtually all Muslims. Although not necessarily cohesive physically, despite the unifying Rift Valley theme (from the Sudan and Djibouti south through Ethiopia and into Kenya), in the global battles for freedom and democracy and against terrorism these seven nation-states (Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, the Sudan, and Yemen) astride the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, and the Indian Ocean share a common enemy. They also roughly share a paucity of resources and unful- filled desires for rapid economic advancement. Al Qaeda can strike anywhere. It has already struck twice in Kenya, at least once in Somalia, and once (with at least two 1 01-7570-6 ch01 rotberg 10/17/05 8:31 AM Page 2 2 Robert I. Rotberg important retaliations) in Yemen. So the greater Horn of Africa and Yemen region is bound together by its recent history as a sometime target, by its geo- graphical proximity to the homeland of Osama bin Laden and the primary regional object of his political anger, by long and continuing interrelationships of licit and illicit trade, by religion, by centuries of Muslim-Christian accom- modation and antagonism, by renowned resistances against Western colonizers (in the Horn), and by shared poverty, poor governance, and under- development.
