    I'm from Djibouti & I'd have to argue that we are only close with Ethiopia from an economic perspective. Our closest friend would have to be Somalia. The Issa you referred to isn't an ethnic group, rather a sub clan of the Somali people whom are represented by the blue section of the flag. As you mentioned, the country was titled "French Somaliland" and was actually very close to forming a union with Somalia after independence (good thing that didn't happen😳)

      Negatory on the closer to Somalia than Ethiopia part. You might be thinking of the semi autonomous region of Somaliland; even still, you're talking about tribal relations and not economic. Don't forget that Issa only make up half of the country.

    • @urbannomad9590
      @urbannomad9590 8 років тому +125

      +Owen Somalia and Djibouti not only share the same ethnic group with Somalia but also history, culture, bilateral relations, etc. A lot Djiboutian men and women fight along Somalia side during the Ogaden war. Somalia also supported Djibouti independence. Even Djibouti's first president (Hassan Guleed Aptidon) was born in northern Somalia. Him and Mahmoud Harbi were pan-Somalist. They wanted to unite ethnic Somali-land as one country. The current Djibouti's president also received training from the Somali National security service.

    • @urbannomad9590
      @urbannomad9590 8 років тому +52

      +Owen the Issa clan may make up half of the country's population but all ethnic Somali clans make up more than 65%. Don't forget the Gedabuursi and the Isaaq clans are also ethnic Somalis. The number of Ethnic Somalis actually grew for the last 25 years, considering a lot of them from Somalia settled in Djibouti. I would actually say more than 80% of Djibouti's population are ethnic Somalis !

      Sarina Alexa National languages aren't accurate most of the time. Like even in Somalia their national languages are Somali and Arabic. I've never met anyone that spoke any Arabic. It's more of a religious thing. And also for Djibouti French is the national language because they where colonised by the French. The majority of Djibouti speaks Somali and afar (...I know I got that last on wrong).

  • @manicagency
    @manicagency 8 років тому +197

    Issa is NOT an ethnicity, it's a clan and they are ethnically Somali. They live in north western Somalia, Southern Djibouti and Somali region of Ethiopia. Official languages are French and Arabic but the majority of the population don't speak these languages daily or even fluently. The most spoken are Afar and Somali by far, with Somali being the common language. They don't have there own dialect of Somali either, it's just a slight regional difference, just how American English is slightly different to UK english. And though they have strong economic ties with Ethiopia they are much closer in culture and society to central and north Somalis (for ethnic Somalis) and Eritrea (for ethnic Afars). You also didn't mention any of the political tension going on or the fact that it's practically a dictatorship.

    actually djibouti means “path/street of the bears“. It comes from the two somali words “jiid“(street) and “buti“ (bear).
    back in the days, bears used to be common in that area and the people gave it that name, simply because of the animals living over there. Of course, they all went extinct and the only thing that remained was the name.

    I'm so relieved you're pronouncing Dominica correctly...I lived there for about 2 years, and when I first arrived, the locals were VERY upset if you said it incorrectly...and I guess it's now engrained in me too. When (on rare occasion) I hear Dominica pronounced like the republic up north, it's a source of frustration.
    So thank you. :)

    And that's why I love this channel. Any normal person outside of Africa has no idea what this tiny little country is like. And here you show us how successful this small country is with such little resources. And they are investing so much into education. Really smart. Djibouti just became my favorite African country. ...actually, it already was beforehand because I like small countries. But now that I know how it rules in da house, I like it even more :)

    you are right for the Afar but Issa is just a clan not everyone is Issa there like 30 clans but all the clan expect afar think of themselves as Somali (I am Issa) , it s more like 60% Somalis and most people in my country will never say that Ethiopia is our best friend we prefer Somalia or France ( Ethiopia wants an access to sea). Arabic is official language just because of Islam but most people speak French, Afar or/and Somali( more Somali). Also we have a dictator. I watch your video since Andorra and I didn't miss one since. Sorry for my bad English 😃

    Did you know that when the French colonists first arrived, they asked a native what this place name is, yet the native didn't know French and thought the colonists were pointing at his pot, so he answered, "Djibouti" as this is the way the natives there call it "my pot". And therefore, this place was forever known to be the land of "My Pot", or Djibouti, depending on whether or not you are a Djibouti native. Also, inovation lel
