Question: Issa Cissokho is of descent from a nation that is landlocked where?
Context: The national emblem of Djibouti was introduced after attaining independence from France on 27 June 1977.  It is bordered on the sides with laurel branches.  Within this perimeter there is a vertical spear, in front of which is a shield.  Underneath the shield, two hands rise away from the spear, both of which carry a large machete.  These two hands symbolize the main two ethnic groups of the nation: the Afar and the Issa.  The spear is topped by a red star.  The star symbolizes the unity between the Issa and the Afar peoples.  A Djibouti law established the seal and states its significance, and has been translated into English.

Transport in Niger is composed of the transportation systems and methods used in this landlocked nation, with cities separated by huge uninhabited deserts, mountain ranges, and other natural features.  A poor nation, Niger's transport system was little developed during the colonial period (1899–1960), relying upon animal transport, human transport, and limited river transport in the far south west and south east.  No railways were constructed in the colonial period, and roads outside the capital remained unpaved.  The Niger River is unsuitable for large-scale river transport, as it lacks depth for most of the year and is broken by rapids at many spots.  Camel caravan transport was historically important in the Sahara desert and Sahel regions which cover most of the north.

The Catawba were once considered one of the most powerful Southeastern Siouan-speaking tribes in the Carolina Piedmont.  The Catawba and other Siouan peoples are believed to have coalesced as individual tribes in the Southeast.  Living along the Catawba River they were named one of the most powerful tribes in the south.

Approximately 80% of Burundi's population lives in poverty.
