Djibouti (Arabic: جيبوتي Jībūtī, Somali: Jabuuti), officially: جمهورية جيبوتي; Jumhūriyyat Jībūtī; Jamhuuriyadda Jabuuti; République de Djibouti; Republic of Djibouti is a small East African country on the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. The country gained independence from France on June 27th, 1977 and is the successor to the former 'French Somaliland'. Its capital and largest city is Djibouti. The population is divided into two main groups, the Issa (or Somali) people and the Afar. The remainder of the populace is formed by Europeans (mostly French and Italians), Arabs and Ethiopians. Tensions between the Afar and Issa led to the civila war of the early 1990s. Djibouti is a Muslim country and French and Arabic are its official languages, though Somali and Afar are also widely spoken. Facing, as it does, the narrowest point of the Persian Gulf Djibouti lies in a strategic position. It has been used as a landing point for vessels following the Spice Trade for many centuries. As a result, as well as native cuisines (which are very similar to those of neighbouring Ethiopia) Djibouti also has strong Arabic, Indian and British influences. The Portugese also brought the techniques of roasting and marinating foods to this country. Arabs introduced saffron, cinnamon, pomegranate juice and other spices to the country and exotic Asian fruit like pineapple, lemon, orange and limes as well as New World foods like bell peppers, chillies, tomatoes and maize are common. Like Ethiopia, the Djiboutienne staple is a flatbread called Injeera, which is used to wrap various meat and vegetable dishes. |
