It is a key gateway from the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean, bordering Somalia to the southeast, Eritrea to the north, and Ethiopia to the west, southwest, and south. The country covers an area of 23200 square kilometers and is divided into one city and five regions. The capital city of Djibouti has a population of approximately 1.13 million, mainly consisting of the Issa and Afar ethnic groups. [1]<br>Before the colonial invasion, Djibouti was ruled by three Sudanese kings: Houza, Tajura, and Obok. France began its invasion in 1850 and occupied the entire territory of Djibouti in 1888. In 1896, France established the &#8220;French Somalia&#8221; colonial government in Djibouti. In 1946, it became a French overseas territory and was renamed as the &#8220;French Territory of Afar and Issa&#8221; in 1967. The French government granted it actual autonomy. On December 31, 1975, France declared its agreement to Djibouti&#8217;s independence. On June 27, 1977, Djibouti declared independence and named itself the Republic of Djibouti.<br>The strategic position of the Republic of Djibouti is very important. It has the largest military base of the US military in Africa, the largest military base of the French military overseas and the support base of the Chinese People&#8217;s Liberation Army. Djibouti is one of the least developed countries in the world, with scarce natural resources, weak industrial and agricultural foundations, and unstable political situation. In 2021, Djibouti&#8217;s gross domestic product was 3.371 billion US dollars, with an economic growth rate of 4.3%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chinese name<br>Republic of Djibouti<br>Foreign Name<br>The Republic of Djibouti (in English)<br>La R \u00e9 publique de Djibouti (French)<br>\u062c\u30a4\u30a4\u062a\u30a4\u062c\u0645\u0647\u0647\u3044\u0631\u30a4\u0647 (Arabic)<br>abbreviation<br>Djibouti<br>Belonging continent<br>Africa<br>Capital City<br>Djibouti City<br>major city<br>Alta, Tajura, etc<br>National Day<br>June 27, 1977<br>National Anthem<br>\u300aDjibouti\u300b<br>Country code<br>DJI<br>official language<br>French, Arabic<br>Currency<br>DJF<br>Time Zone<br>UTC+3<br>political system<br>presidential republic<br>National leaders<br>Ismail Omar Guelleh (President)<br>population size<br>About 1.13 million<br>population density<br>42.6 people per square kilometer <a href=\"2020\">5<\/a><br>Main ethnic groups<br>Isa people, Afar people<br>Main religions<br>Islam (Sunni)<br>land area<br>23200 km\u00b2<br>Water area ratio<br>0.09%<br>Total GDP<br>3.52 billion US dollars <a href=\"2022\">1<\/a><br>International telephone area code<br>two hundred and fifty-three<br>International Domain Abbreviations<br>.dj<br>Road traffic<br>Drive on the right side<br>Main universities<br>Djibouti University, Djibouti Medical College<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">population<br>According to the statistics of the World Bank, the population of Djibouti will be 988000 in 2020, of which more than 70% will live in cities, 650000 in the capital Djibouti, and the rest will be mainly concentrated in Tajura, the second largest city, and Obok, the third largest city.
