Explained in plain English

Where is Djibouti?

Djibouti is a small country in the Horn of Africa, strategically located on the Bab al-Mandab Strait. It shares borders with Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Somalia. Its stable political environment and key geographical position have made it a significant hub for international military bases and a refuge for people fleeing conflicts, as demonstrated by the Yemeni families arriving at Markazi camp.
