Educational Story Time with Gideon! 😁
So today I learned that Djibouti is an actual place, and not just a word to make 12 year olds snicker.
A little info on Djibouti.
Geographically speaking, there's a large canal of water that penetrates deep into Djibouti. Water traveling into Djibouti's port closes into a canal that opens up further on the inside after entry.
The History of Djibouti is quite fascinating.
It was apparently at various times in its history, under the control of the Adal and the Ifat Sultans.
So it was at various points Adal Djibouti and Ifat Djibouti.
It also at one point belonged to Sultan Umar Walashma.
So, Walashma Djibouti, we’ll continue with the story.
Apparently, after that, there was a rebellion against the Ethiopian emperor under Sultan Ali, when it was a revolting Djibouti.
In 1376, Sultan Abdul Muhammed attacked the regional Djibouti chieftain named Hadeya. So when Djibouti is in danger, be sure to Hadeya Djibouti.
In the 1800’s, Djibouti came under control of different Christian dynasties, named Yifat and Menz.
Thus that was considered the era of Yifat Menz Djibouti.
After this was the French Colonial phase, where it could be said that the French dominated Djibouti and plundered Djibouti.
After this, autonomy was achieved in 1977 through democratic process and voting, and it is now a whole and independent Djibouti.
