Djibouti

**Djibouti**, mwalamulo **Charu cha Djibouti**, ni chalo icho chili ku mphanji ya Africa, icho chili kufupi na Somalia kumwera kukaŵa Etiyopiya, kumwera kumanjiliro gha dazi, kumpoto Eritrea, kumafumiro gha dazi Nyanja Yiswesi na Gulf of Aden. Charu ichi chili na malo ghakukwana 23,200 km2 (8,958 sq mi).

Kale, chigaŵa ichi pamoza na Ethiopia, Eritrea na Somaliland, vikaŵa chigaŵa cha Punt. Ku Zeila, uko sono ni Somaliland, ndiko kukaŵa ufumu wa Adal na Ifat. Kuumaliro wa vyaka vya m'ma 1800, boma la French Somaliland likakhazikiskika pamanyuma pakuti mafumu gha Dir Somali ghasayina phangano na ŵa French, ndipo njanji iyo yikafika ku Dire Dawa (ndipo pamanyuma Addis Ababa) yikamovwira kuti wasinthe Zeila kuŵa dowoko la kumwera kwa Ethiopia na Ogaden. Mu 1967, chigaŵa ichi chikachemeka French Territory of the Afars and the Issas. Pakati pajumpha vyaka 10, ŵanthu ŵa ku Djibouti ŵakavota kuti ŵajiyimire ŵekha. Ici cikaŵa cimanyikwiro cakuti caru ca Djibouti, ico cikacemeka Djibouti Republic, cikaŵa na msumba ukuru. Boma liphya ili likaŵa mu wupu wa United Nations. Kukwambilira kwa vyaka vya m'ma 1990, masuzgo agho ghakaŵapo chifukwa cha umo boma likimiranga ŵanthu ghakachitiska kuti paŵe nkhondo.

Charu cha Djibouti chili na ŵanthu ŵakujumpha 920,000. Viyowoyero viŵiri vyakuzomerezgeka ni Chifurenchi na Chiarabic, ndipo viyowoyero vya boma ni Afar na Chisamaliya. Pafupifupi 94% ya ŵanthu ŵa ku Djibouti ŵakulondezga chisopa cha Chisilamu, icho ntchisopa cha boma ndipo chakhalako kwa vyaka vyakujumpha 1,000. Ŵanthu ŵa mitundu iyi mbanandi chomene. Vyose viŵiri vikuyowoya ciyowoyero ca ku Cushitic.

Djibouti wali pafupi na misewu yinandi iyo ŵanthu ŵakwendamo mu nyanja, ndipo wakwendamo mu Nyanja Yiswesi na mu Nyanja ya Indian. Ni malo ghakupelekerapo mafuta ku ŵanthu ŵa ku Ethiopia. Ku caru ici kuli maofesi gha ŵasilikari ŵa vyaru vinyake. Wupu wa Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) uli na ofesi yake mu msumba wa Djibouti.

## Zina
Djibouti wakucemeka kuti Republic of Djibouti. Mu viyowoyero vya ku malo agha ŵakuchemeka Yibuuti (mu Afar) na Jabuuti (mu Somali).

Charu ichi chili na msumba ukuru wa Djibouti. Ŵanthu ŵakususkana na zina ili. Pali vigomezgo vinandi vyakukhwaskana na umo likambira, ndipo vikupambana kuyana na mtundu. Ŵanthu ŵanyake ŵakuti lizgu ili lili kufuma ku lizgu lakuti gabouti, ilo likung'anamura "chiphikiro". Linyake likuyowoya kuti lizgu ili likung'anamura "phiri". Djibouti wangang'anamuraso kuti "Charu cha Tehuti" panji "Charu cha Thoth" (Chieguputo: Djehuti/ Djehuty), kufuma pa zina la chiuta wa mwezi wa ku Eguputo.

Kufuma mu 1862 m'paka mu 1894, charu icho chikaŵa kumpoto kwa Mlonga wa Tadjoura chikachemekanga "Obock". Ku France, kufuma mu 1883 m'paka mu 1967, malo agha ghakachemekanga French Somaliland (French) ndipo kufuma mu 1967 m'paka mu 1977 ghakachemekanga French Territory of the Afars and the Issas (French).

### Prehistory

Chigaŵa cha Bab-el-Mandeb kanandi chikuwoneka nga ni malo agho ŵanthu ŵakwambilira ŵakendangamo kufuma ku East Africa kuluta ku South na Southeast Asia.

Ŵanthu ŵakukhala mu chigaŵa cha Djibouti kwamba mu nyengo ya Neolithic. Ŵanthu awo ŵakumanya vya viyowoyero ŵakayowoya kuti ŵanthu ŵakwambilira awo ŵakayowoyanga viyowoyero vya ku Africa na Asia ŵakafika mu chigaŵa ichi kufuma ku chigaŵa icho ŵanthu aŵa ŵakakhalanga mu Dambo la Nayelo. Ŵasayansi ŵanyake ŵakuti ŵanthu ŵa mtundu wa Afroasiatic ŵakamba kukhala ku Horn of Africa, ndipo ŵanthu awo ŵakayowoyanga chiyowoyero ichi ŵakamba kugaluka kufuma kura.

Mu chigaŵa cha nyanja ya Abbe muli malibwe agho ghali na vyaka pafupifupi 3 miliyoni. Mu chipalamba cha Gobaad (pakati pa Dikhil na Nyanja ya Abbe), ŵakasangaso visomba vya njovu ya Palaeoloxodon recki, iyo ŵakayiphyera na visulo vya basalt ivyo vikaŵa pafupi. Vinthu ivi vikaŵako vyaka 1.4 miliyoni pambere Yesu wandize pa charu chapasi. Pamanyuma, malo ghanyake ghakuyana waka ghakasangika kuti ghakalembeka na munthu munyake zina lake Homo ergaster. Malo gha ku Acheulean (kwambira vyaka 800,000 m'paka 400,000 B.C.E.), uko ŵakaŵikangapo malibwe, ŵakaghasanga mu 1990, ku Gombourta, pakati pa Damerdjog na Loyada, 15 km kumwera kwa Djibouti City. Paumaliro, ku Gobaad, ŵakasanga chiwangwa cha Homo erectus, icho chili na vyaka 100,000 B.C.E. Pa Chirwa cha Dyabulosi ŵakasanga vinthu ivyo vikaŵa vyaka 6,000 kumasinda, ivyo ŵakagwiliskiranga ntchito pakujura visulo. Mu cigaŵa ico cili musi mwa Goubet (Dankalélo, kufupi na Cirwa ca Dyabulosi), ŵakabowozgaso malibwe ghakuzingilizga na vizwazwa vya dongo. Ŵasayansi ŵanyake ŵakayowoyapo kuti mu chipalamba cha Dagadlé Wadi mukaŵa chiwangwa icho ŵakaghanaghananga kuti chikaŵa cha ŵanthu ŵachekuru chomene.

Vithuzithuzi vya mu miyala ya mu nyengo yakale na madindi mu Djibouti

Vinthu vya dongo ivyo vikaŵako pambere chaka cha 2000 chindafike vikusangika ku Asa Koma, chigaŵa cha nyanja mu Gobaad Plain. Vinthu vya ku malo agha vili na viphikiro vyakupambanapambana ivyo vikuyana na vya ku Malayiba, kumwera kwa Arabia. Viwangwa vya ng'ombe zambura masengwe vikusangikaso ku Asa Koma, kulongora kuti ng'ombe zikaŵako vyaka 3,500 ivyo vyajumpha. Mu Dorra na Balho muli malibwe agho ghakulongora nga ni mphumphi na kaŵeruŵeru. Ku Handoga, uko kukalembeka kuti kukaŵako mu vyaka vya m'ma 2000 B.C.E., kukaŵa viswaswa vya obsidian na vinthu vinyake ivyo ŵanthu ŵakagwiliskiranga ntchito.

Malo gha Wakrita ni malo ghachoko gha mu nyengo ya Neolithic agho ghali pa wadi mu malo gha Gobaad ku Djibouti mu Horn of Africa. Mu 2005, ŵakabowozga vinthu vinandi vya ku malo agha ivyo vikatovwira kuti timanye umo vinthu vikaŵira mu nyengo ya Neolithic. Viŵeto ivi vikulongora kuti somba zikaŵa zakuzirwa chomene mu nyengo ya Neolithic kufupi na nyanja ya Abbé, kweniso kuti viŵeto vya ng'ombe vikaŵa vyakuzirwa. Ivyo ŵanthu ŵakulemba na munkhwala wakuchemeka radiocarbon vikulongora kuti ntchito iyi yikachitika mu vyaka vya m'ma 2000 B.C.E., nga umo vikaŵira na Asa Koma. Malo ghaŵiri agha ndigho ghakulongora kuti ŵanthu ŵakaliskanga viŵeto mu chigaŵa ichi.

M'ma 4000 B.C.E., malo agha ghakaŵa na nyengo yakupambana chomene na iyo tikumanya mazuŵa ghano. Ku Gobaad kukaŵa nyanja zinandi, Assal na Abbé zikaŵa zikuru ndipo zikawonekanga nga ni maji. Ntheura ŵanthu ŵakakhalanga mwa kuvuna, kukora somba, na kuvina. Mu chigaŵa ichi mukaŵa viŵeto vinandi: viyuni vyakofya nga ni viyuni vyamuthengere, viyuni vyamuthengere, zovu, viyuni vyamuthengere, na vinyake. Mu vyaka vya m'ma 2000 na 2000 B.C.E., ŵanthu ŵachoko waka awo ŵakakhalanga mu nyanja iyi ŵakaloŵanga somba na kuliska viŵeto. Ŵakasanga dindi la mwanakazi wa vyaka 18, kweniso viwangwa vya vinyama, vinthu vya viwangwa, na majuda. Pafupifupi mu 1500 B.C.E., nyengo yikamba kusintha ndipo maji ghakamba kusoŵa. Pa vithuzithuzi ivi pali vinyama vyakuchemeka dromedaries (vyamoyo ivyo vikukhala mu vyaru vyakomira). Ŵanthu awo ŵakakhalanga mwakufwasa ŵakawelera ku umoyo wa kusama. Mu malo ghose agha ŵali kusanga malibwe ghakupambanapambana na madindi agho ghakazengeka mu nyengo iyi.

### Punt (2,500 BCE)

Pamoza na kumpoto kwa Etiyopiya, Somaliland, Eritrea, na mphepete mwa Nyanja Yiswesi ku Sudan, Djibouti ndiyo yikaŵa malo agho Ŵagiriki ŵakachemanga kuti Punt (panji Ta Netjeru, kung'anamura "Charu cha Chiuta"). Malo ghakwambilira agho ghakuzunulika kuti ni Punt ghakaŵako mu vyaka vya m'ma 2000 B.C.E. Ŵanthu ŵa ku Punt ŵakaŵa mtundu uwo ukaŵa paubwezi wakukhora na Eguputo mu nyengo ya muwuso wa Farawo Sahure wa muwuso wa nambara 5 na wa Hatshepsut wa muwuso wa nambara 18. Kuyana na vithuzithuzi ivyo vili pa tempile la Deir el-Bahari, caru ca Punt cikawusikanga na Fumu Parahu na Fumukazi Ati.

### Macrobians (247 BCE)
Ŵanthu ŵa Macrobians (Μακροβίοι) ŵakaŵa ŵanthu ŵakumanyikwa na ufumu uwo ukaŵa ku Horn of Africa. Ŵanyake awo ŵakalembako Baibolo pamanyuma (pakuti Pliny wakalemba mu buku la Ctesias lakuti Indika) ŵakalemba kuti mabuku agha ghakalembeka ku India. Ŵanthu aŵa ŵakaŵa ku mphelerekezgo za charu (kuyana na umo Ŵagiriki ŵakawoneranga), ndipo ŵakakhalanga kumwera chomene. Zina ili ŵakulisanga cifukwa cakuti ŵanthu ŵakukhala vyaka vinandi comene. Ŵakaŵa "ŵanalume ŵatali na ŵakutowa comene". Herodotus wakayowoya kuti Themba la ku Peresiya, Cambyses II, likati lakora Eguputo (525 B.C.E.), likatuma mathenga ku Makroba kuti ghazakamupe vyawanangwa vinandi. Fumu ya ku Macrobiya, iyo yikasoleka cifukwa ca msinkhu wake, yikamuzgora na suzgo kwa mfumu wake wa ku Peresiya mu nthowa ya uta: Usange Ŵaperesiya ŵangakwaniska kuwukoma, ŵangaŵa na wanangwa wa kuwukira caru cake; kweni m'paka nyengo iyo, ŵakwenera kuwonga ŵachiuta cifukwa cakuti Macrobiya ŵakakana kuwukira ufumu wawo.

### Kingdom of Adal (900–1285)
Ufumu wa Adal (uwo ukuchemekaso Awdal, Adl, panji Adel) ukaŵa kuzingilizga msumba ukuru wa Zeila. Msumba uwu ukazengeka na mafuko gha ku Somalia mu vyaka vya m'ma 800 C.E. Msumba wa Zeila ukakopanga ŵamalonda ŵakufuma mu vyaru vyakupambanapambana. Zeila ni msumba wakale comene ndipo ukaŵa umoza mwa misumba yakwambilira comene pa caru cose iyo yikazomera cisopa ca Ciisilamu, pamanyuma pa hijra. Masjid al-Qiblatayn wa ku Zeila, uyo uli na vipata viŵiri, wali kuzengeka mu vyaka vya m'ma 700 C.E.

Kuumaliro wa vyaka vya m'ma 900 C.E., Al-Yaqubi, uyo wakaŵa msambiri wa Chisilamu kweniso wakwendakwenda wakalemba kuti Ufumu wa Adal ukaŵa ufumu uchoko ndipo ukaŵa na ŵanthu ŵanandi.

### Ifat Sultanate (1285–1415)

Ŵanthu ŵa mtundu wa Somali na Afar awo ŵakakhalanga ku chigaŵa ichi, ŵakaŵa ŵakwamba kuzomera Chisilamu. Ufumu wa Ifat ukaŵa ufumu wa Ŵasilamu wa ku Middle Ages ku Horn of Africa. Likakhazikiskika mu 1285 na muwuso wa Walashma. Ifat wakazenga misasa mu Djibouti na Somaliland, ndipo kufuma kura wakaluta kumwera ku mapiri gha Ahmar. Sultan Umar Walashma (panji mwana wake Ali, kuyana na buku linyake) wakathereska Shewa mu 1285. Taddesse Tamrat wakalongosora kuti ulendo wa ŵasilikari wa Sultan Umar ukaŵa wa kukhozga malo gha Ŵasilamu ku Horn, nga umo Themba Yekuno Amlak likayezgera kukhozga malo gha Ŵakhristu mu vigaŵa vya mapiri mu nyengo yeneyiyi. Vyaru viŵiri ivi vikamba kulimbana cifukwa ca Shewa na vigaŵa vinyake kumwera. Nkhondo yitali yikacitika, kweni mafumu gha Cisilamu gha nyengo yira ghakakolerana yayi. Paumaliro Ifat wakathereskeka na Amda Seyon I wa ku Ethiopia mu 1332, ndipo wakafumako ku Shewa.

### Adal Sultanate (1415–1577)

Munthu munyake uyo wakalembako mabuku mu vyaka vya m'ma 1500, zina lake Leo Africanus, wakati ufumu wa Adal ukaŵa pakati pa Bab el Mandeb na Cape Guardafui. Ntheura kumwera kukaŵa Ufumu wa Ajuran (Ufumu wa Ajuuran) ndipo kumanjiliro gha dazi kukaŵa Ufumu wa Abyssinian (Ufumu wa Abbassin). Adal wakuzunulika mu zina mu vyaka vya m'ma 1400 apo Ŵasilamu ŵa ku Somali na Afar ŵakakumananga na ŵasilikari ŵa Themba Amda Seyon la ku Abyssinia. Pakwamba Adal wakaŵa na msumba wa Zeila, uwo ukaŵa ku chigaŵa cha Awdal. Pa nyengo iyo, boma ili likaŵa la Ifat Sultanate ilo likawusikanga na muwuso wa Walashma. Kuyana na I.M. Ku malo agha kukaŵa ŵanthu ŵa mafuko gha Afarized Arabs panji Arabized Somalis, awo ŵakalongozgaso boma la Mogadishu ilo likaŵa kumwera kwa charu ichi. Kwambira apo Adal wakambira, ŵanthu ŵakamba kurwa nkhondo zinandi na Abisinia. Pa nyengo iyo ufumu wa Adal ukaŵa wankhongono comene, ukaŵa na mazaza pa vigaŵa vinandi vya Djibouti, Somaliland, Eritrea, na Ethiopia. Pakati pa msumba wa Djibouti na Loyada pali mapale ghanandi gha ŵanthu. Vinthu ivi vikaŵa na malaro agho ghakaŵa nga ni mphingilizgo ndipo ghakaŵanga na malata ghatali. Malibwe gha Djibouti-Loyada ghakumanyikwa yayi apo ghakaŵirako, ndipo ghanyake ghali na chimanyikwiro chakuŵa nga ni T. Kweniso ŵakufukura vinthu vyakale ku Tiya ŵali kusanga madindi. Kuzakafika mu 1997, ku malo agha kukaŵa malibwe ghakukwana 118. Ŵanthu ŵa mu chigaŵa ichi ŵakumanya kuti mapale agha ni Yegragn Dingay panji "libwe la Abuya", chifukwa cha Imam Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Ghazi (Ahmad "Gurey" panji "Gran"), muwusi wa Adal Sultanate.

### Ottoman Eyalet (1577–1867)

Nangauli mu 1577, pakati pa 1821 na 1841, Muhammad Ali, Pasha wa ku Eguputo, wakawusa Yemen, Harar, Gulf of Tadjoura pamoza na Zeila na Berbera. Kazembe Abou Baker wakalangura ŵasilikari ŵa ku Sagallo kuti ŵafumemo mu msumba wa Zeila. Cingalaŵa ca Seignelay cikafika ku Sagallo pamanyuma pakuti Ŵaegupto ŵafumako. Ŵasilikari ŵa ku France ŵakakora linga la msumba uwu nangauli mulara wa ŵasilikari ŵa ku Britain, Frederick Mercer Hunter, wakadandawura.

Pa Epulero 14, 1884, mulongozgi wa boti la L'Inferent wakaphara za nkhondo iyo yikaŵa mukati mwa nyanja ya Tadjoura. Mulara wa boti la Le Vaudreuil wakapharazga kuti Ŵaeguputo ŵakunjira mu vigaŵa vya mukati mwa caru pakati pa Obock na Tadjoura. Fumu Yohannes IV ya ku Ethiopia yikalemba phangano na Britain kuti ŵaleke kurwa nkhondo na Ŵaeguputo na kuzomerezga kuti ŵasilikari ŵa Eguputo ŵafumemo mu Ethiopia na ku Somaliland. Ŵasilikari ŵa Eguputo ŵakafumako ku Tadjoura. Usiku wakulondezgapo, Léonce Lagarde wakatumizga boti lakunjilira ku Tadjoura.

### French rule (1883–1977)

Malire gha charu cha Djibouti ghakaŵako apo France yikamba kukhazikika mu Africa. Pa Malichi 11, 1862, themba la Afar, Raieta Dini Ahmet, likasaina phangano ku Paris. Ŵafarisi ŵakakhumbanga kuti paŵe malo ghakugwilira nchito ngalaŵa zakwenda na mphepo. (Kufika pa nyengo iyi, ngaraŵa za ku France zikaguranga malasha mu dowoko la Britain la Aden, ilo likaŵa ku sirya linyake la nyanja. Pamanyuma, kazembe wa sitima ya Fleuriot de Langle wakagwiliskira nchito phangano ili kuti wakhazikike kumwera kwa Gulf of Tadjoura. Pa Malichi 26, 1885, ŵa French ŵakasainapo phangano linyake na ŵa Issas apo ŵa Issas ŵakeneranga kuŵa pasi pa ŵa French, pakaŵavya kusinthana ndalama ndipo fuko la Issa likapeleka yayi wanangwa wawo pa malo agha, phangano ili likaŵa lakuti Ŵagadebuursi, awo ŵakasuskanga ŵa French, na ŵa Isaaq ŵafumemo mu charu ichi na wovwiri wa ŵa French. Likakhazikiskika pakati pa 1883 na 1887, pamanyuma pakuti mafumu gha ku Somalia na Afar ghalemba phangano na ŵa ku France. Mu 1889, Nikolay Ivanovitch Achinov, uyo wakaŵa mulendo wa ku Russia, wakayezga kukhazikika ku Sagallo, kweni ŵasilikari ŵa ku France ŵakamukanizga. Mu 1894, Léonce Lagarde wakambiska boma la France mu msumba wa Djibouti ndipo wakawuthya French Somaliland. Nga ni umo tawonera mu "Morin" (2005), zina ili likapelekeka na Mohamed Haji Dide wa gulu la Gadabuursi la Mahad 'Ase. Chikatora nyengo yitali kufuma mu 1896 m'paka mu 1967, apo chikachemekaso kuti Territoire Français des Afars et des Issas (TFAI) ("French Territory of the Afars and the Issas"), pamanyuma pakuti France, ufumu wa atsamunda, wapeleka mazaza ku fuko la Issas. Kuzenga njanji ya Imperial Ethiopian Railway kumanjiliro gha dazi kwa Ethiopia kukapangiska kuti dowoko la Djibouti liŵe tawuni ya ŵanthu 15,000 mu nyengo iyo Harar ndiyo yikaŵa msumba wekha mu Ethiopia uwo ukaŵa na ŵanthu ŵakujumpha 15,000.

Nangauli ŵanthu ŵakakhalanga pachokopachoko chifukwa cha njanji iyo yikafika ku Dire Dawa, ndipo kampani yakwamba yikaleka kugwira ntchito ndipo yikakhumbikwiranga wovwiri wa boma, kweni njanji iyi yikawovwira kuti chigaŵa ichi chileke kwendera ŵanthu awo ŵakendanga mu magalimoto gha pa Zeila (mu chigaŵa cha Somaliland icho chikaŵa pasi pa Britain) ndipo chikazgoka dowoko likuru la khofi na katundu munyake uyo wakafumanga kumwera kwa Ethiopia na Ogaden kwizira ku Harar.

Pamanyuma pa kuwukira kwa Italy na kuwukira Ethiopia pakati pa ma 1930, kukaŵa nkhondo pakati pa ŵasilikari ŵa France mu French Somaliland na ŵasilikari ŵa Italy mu Italy East Africa. Mu Juni 1940, apo Nkhondo Yachiŵiri ya Caru Cose yikambanga, caru ca France cikaparanyika ndipo boma la Vichy (French) ilo likaŵa ku chigaŵa ca Axis likamba kuwusa caru ici.

Ŵasilikari ŵa Britain na ŵa Commonwealth ŵakarwa nkhondo na ŵa Italiya mu nyengo ya Nkhondo ya ku East Africa. Mu 1941, ŵa Italiya ŵakathereskeka ndipo ŵasilikari ŵa Vichy mu French Somaliland ŵakakhala kwaŵekha. Boma la Vichy likalutilira kulamulira mu caru ici kwa vilimika vinandi comene. Pakuzgora, ŵa ku Britain ŵakajara dowoko la Djibouti City, kweni ici cikamutondeska yayi ŵa ku France awo ŵakakhalanga ku malo agha kuti ŵaleke kuŵaphalira vya sitima izo zikendanga. Mu 1942, ŵasilikari ŵa Britain pafupifupi 4,000 ŵakakora msumba uwu. Gulu la ŵasilikari ŵa ku French Somaliland likapokelera ŵanthu ŵa ku Paris mu 1944.

Mu 1958, pambere charu cha Somalia chindambe kujiwusa chekha mu 1960, ku Djibouti kukachitika referendum. Pa ungano uwu, ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakakolerana na fundo yakuti ŵaŵe ŵamoza na France. Pakaŵaso ŵanthu ŵanyake awo ŵakayowoya kuti pa mavoti pakaŵa upusikizgi. Ŵanandi awo ŵakazomera yayi ŵakaŵa ŵa ku Somalia awo ŵakakolerana comene na fundo ya umo boma la Somalia lingakhalira pamoza, nga umo Mahmoud Harbi, wachiŵiri wa pulezidenti wa boma wakacitira. Harbi wakafwa pa ngozi ya ndege vyaka viŵiri pamanyuma pake mu malo ghakukayikiska.
Mu 1966, caru ca France cikakana ivyo wupu wa United Nations ukayowoya vyakuti caru ca French Somaliland ciŵe na wanangwa wakuwusama. Mu Ogasiti wa chaka chenechicho, Charles de Gaulle, pulezidenti wa ku France, wakaluta ku malo agha. Pakuzgora, De Gaulle wakalangura kuti paŵe phangano linyake.

Mu 1967, pakaŵaso maungano ghaciŵiri kuti ŵamanye ivyo vicitikirenge caru ici. Ivyo vikachitika pakwamba vikalongora kuti ŵakalutilira kukolerana na France. Ŵanthu ŵa ku Somalia ŵakagaŵikana chifukwa cha mitundu yawo. Ŵanyake ŵakazomerezga kuti boma la Somalia liŵe na wanangwa wa kujimira. Pa nyengo iyi, ŵanthu ŵakakondwa yayi na ivyo boma la France likayowoya. Pakati pajumpha nyengo yichoko waka, chigaŵa icho kale chikachemekanga Côte française des Somalis (French Somaliland) chikasintha zina kuŵa Territoire français des Afars et des Issas. Ŵakati ŵapharazga ivyo vikachitika, pakawuka vivulupi ndipo ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakafwa. France nayo wakasazgirako ŵasilikari ŵake pa m'paka.
Mu vyaka vya m'ma 1960, gulu la Front for the Liberation of the Somali Coast (FLCS) ndilo likalongozganga nkhondo iyi. Gulu la FLCS likendeskanga maofesi gha ku French Somaliland kufuma ku Somalia na Ethiopia. Pa Malichi 24, 1975, gulu la Front de Libération de la Côte des Somalis likakora Jean Guery, kazembe wa France ku Somalia, kuti ŵamusinthane na ŵanthu ŵaŵiri awo ŵakaŵa mu gulu la FLCS. Wakasinthika na ŵa FLCS ŵaŵiri mu Aden, South Yemen. Wupu wa African Unity (OAU) ndiwo ukazomerezga kuti FLCS ni gulu lakuvikilira ŵanthu. Gulu la FLCS likapempha kuti charu ichi chiŵe na boma la Somalia panji kuti chiŵe na wanangwa wa kujilongozga. Mu 1975, African People's League for the Independence (LPAI) na FLCS ŵakakumana ku Kampala, Uganda ndipo pamanyuma pa maungano ghanandi ŵakasankha nthowa yakujiyimira pawekha, ndipo ivi vikapangiska kuti vinthu viŵe makora yayi ku Somalia.

Mu 1976, ŵanthu ŵa gulu la Front de Libération de la Côte des Somalis ilo likakhumbanga kuti Djibouti wapoke wanangwa kufuma ku France, ŵakakumana na gulu la Gendarmerie Nationale Intervention Group cifukwa ca kuba basi iyo yikaŵa pa ulendo wakuya ku Loyada. Ici cikalongora kuti cikaŵa cakusuzga kuti caru ca Djibouti ciŵe na ŵanthu ŵa ku France. Ŵanthu ŵa ku France ŵakaghanaghananga kuti kuŵengeje maungano ghaciŵiri. Ndalama zinandi izo ŵakagwiliskiranga ntchito pakusunga malo agha, ghakaŵa malo ghaumaliro gha ku France pa caru ici.

### Djibouti Republic

Pa Meyi 8, 1977, ku France kukacitika ungano waciŵiri wa ŵanthu awo ŵakakhumbanga kuti ŵaŵe ŵakufwatuka. Ma Referendum ghakale ghakaŵako mu 1958 na 1967, ndipo ghakakanira wanangwa wa boma. Pa ungano uwu, ŵanthu ŵakakolerana kuti charu ichi chijipature ku France. Ŵanthu 98.8% ŵakakolerana na fundo yakuti Djibouti yijipature ku France. Hassan Gouled Aptidon, wandale wa Issa (wa fuko la Somaliya) uyo wakachitanga kampeni kuti ŵanthu ŵayowoye kuti enya pa referendum ya 1958, ndiyo wakaŵa pulezidenti wakwamba wa charu ichi (1977-1999).

Mu chaka chakwamba, charu cha Djibouti chikaŵa mu wupu wa African Unity (uno ni African Union), Arab League, na United Nations. Mu 1986, caru ici cikaŵaso yumoza wa awo ŵakambiska wupu wa Intergovernmental Authority on Development. Pa nyengo ya Nkhondo ya Ogaden, ŵandyali ŵa ku Issa ŵakaghanaghananga kuti charu cha Djibouti chiŵenge chikuru panji "charu cha Issa". Kweni apo nkhondo yikamaranga, maloto agha ghakamara.

Kuuyambiro wa vyaka vya m'ma 1990, suzgo la umo boma likimiranga ŵanthu likapangiska kuti paŵe nkhondo pakati pa chipani cha People's Rally for Progress (PRP) icho chili na mazaza mu Djibouti na chipani cha Front for the Restoration of Unity and Democracy (FRUD). Mu 2000, ŵakakolerana kuti ŵagaŵane mazaza.

Mu Epulero 2021, Ismael Guelleh, Purezidenti wachiwiri wa Djibouti kuyambira pomwe adalandira ufulu kuchokera ku France mu 1977, adasankhidwanso kwa nthawi yake yachisanu.

## Politics

Charu cha Djibouti chili na boma la pulezidenti, ndipo boma la Djibouti ndilo likulamulira.
