The Cushite people inhabited Djibouti long before the Arab traders
and Ottoman Turks were attracted to the region by its strategic position.
With the English set up in Aden, Yemen,
the French sought to secure a position on the opposite bank of the Red Sea's mouth, in the
late 1850s.
Djibouti became the colony of French Somaliland in 1888 and an
overseas territory of France in 1946; renamed the French Territory of the Afars and Issas
following a referendum in 1967.
