Djibouti is in Africa. The economy is based on activities that connect the countries location And free trade zone. Djibouti`s religions is mostly Muslim. The country is a semidesert  with plateaus and highlands.

Djibouti was originally inhabited by nomadic tribes, the main ones being the Afars and the Issas, who are strongly linked to Ethiopia and Somalia respectively. In 1862, the French signed a treaty with the Afar leaders, giving them land on the north coast. During the rest of the 19th century, Djibouti gradually became more firmly associated with France. In 1945, French Somaliland (as the area was called) was declared an ‘overseas territory’ and in 1967, it became the French territory of the ‘Afars and Issas’. In 1977, the French agreed to withdraw and the country achieved independence.

Controlling access to the Red Sea, Djibouti is of major strategic importance. During the Gulf War it was the base of operations for the French military, who continue to maintain a significant presence, contributing directly and indirectly to more than half the country’s income.

I am a tree

You know me for my sparkly green leaves

I live until someone cuts my trunk down

My best friend is my planter

Because he started my life

I fear axe men

Because they end my life

I love water and sunlight

Because they help me grow

I wish I can live forever

I am a car

You know me for transportation

I live until my gas runs out

My best friend is a person

Because they drive me

I fear nails

Because they pop my tires

I love gas

Because it fills me up

I wish I can drive forever
