Djibouti, the capital city of the Republic of Djibouti, is a small, strategically located, oil-rich country in the Horn of Africa. Under French rule, the nation was known as French Somaliland until the country gained independence from European settlers in 1977.
The nation of Djibouti features a rugged and extreme landscape, with arid desert plains in the south to lush green mountains in the north.
The four largest ethnic majorities in the nation are Somali, Afar, Omani, and Yemeni-all of which are unreached people groups in the Horn of Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. Hosting more stability and easier access than its neighboring countries to the northeast and southeast, Djibouti is a critical juncture for the Church to win East African and Arab unreached people groups.

For by his great power he rules forever. He watches every movement of the nations; let no rebel rise in defiance."
