I'm not a hardcore capitalist nor do I lean libertarian politically but this is one of the things that I hate about government, it's too damn bureaucratic at times and in many African countries, it's like a gang with power. They don't let entrepreneurs do what they can. One of the reasons why I need to get to the motherland before the government gains too much power and starts making rules that make it harder to start businesses, I think.

It's true. In Djibouti at times, it really feels like a mafia rather than a government

There needs to be some serious changes made,the gov't gets billions in port fees,and yet the poverty is widespread in the country..thats messed.I believe the same party is in power since independence,It's time we get a new president in office,one that actually cares for the well being of their country citizens.

Mouvance islamiste

Arrestation de quatre français suspectés d’appartenir à un réseau ‘’Djihadiste’’


Quatre personnes de nationalité française sont actuellement détenues par les services de police à Djibouti où elles sont suspectées d’avoir tenté de rejoindre les mouvements djihadistes au Yémen ou en Somalie. Selon les premiers éléments de l’enquête fournis à la presse par la Police ; les quatre suspects, qui sont actuellement interrogés, vont être expulsés vers la France.

Ces quatre personnes, trois hommes et une femme ; cette dernière étant l’épouse du leader du groupe, étaient arrivées à Djibouti le 14 mars dernier en provenance d’Addis-Abeba. Afin de faire perdre leur trace, ils ont fait un long détour ; passant de la France à l’Egypte, puis Addis-Abeba et finalement Djibouti.

Déjà suivis et signalés par les services de renseignement français comme pouvant faire partie d’un réseau d’une mouvance islamiste, le groupe a passé une quinzaine de jours à Djibouti en tentant des se fondre avec la masse des fidèles et en se rendant d’une mosquée à l’autre dont celle située à proximité de la maternité ‘’Dar Al Hanan’’ ou de la cité ‘’Barwako’’.

Ils dormaient même dans les mosquées après les causeries religieuses et les prières. Quant à la femme ; elle se faisait héberger chez l’habitante souvent la femme d’un pieux musulman rapproché par les Djihadistes mais qui ne se présentaient qu’en paisibles prêcheurs de la bonne foi religieuse et venus de très loin pour prier ensemble et côtoyer leur frères dans l’Islam.

Cette dernière se levait cependant tous les jours pour la prière de l’aube, elle passait d’un quartier à l’autre intriguant plus d’une personne.

Ayant tenté une première fois, mais sans succès, de trouver une embarcation pour se rendre au Yémen et se diriger dans la région de Damar où s’activent les groupes islamistes radicaux ; ces derniers ont fini par choisir une autre option pour s’évaporer dans la nature.

Passer par la Somalie pour soit rejoindre les combattants islamistes de Somalie ou tenter de rejoindre le Yémen via Bossasso ou un autre petit port somalien. Ils ont loué un véhicule tout terrain le 4 avril dernier et franchi la frontière en direction du Somaliland.

N’ayant pas pu bénéficier du soutien d’un guide ou d’un passeur et ne connaissant pas manifestement pas la région ; leur véhicule s’est enlisé dans le lit asséché d’une rivière. C’est là que le groupe a été intercepté et appréhendé le 5 avril par des policiers du Somaliland.

Dés les premières interrogations, il s’est avéré qu’ils n’étaient pas en possession de leur papier d’identité et ont déclaré simplement ‘’qu’ils trouvaient en vacance’’ mais ‘’avec un véhicule volé’’, selon les enquêteurs.

Le ministère Djiboutien de l’Intérieur a précisé dans un communiqué ‘’qu’en raison de leur comportement suspect et dans le cadre des mesures préventives visant à annihiler les activités d’organisations criminelles, ces quatre personnes étaient placées sous surveillance policière’’.

‘’Ces quatre personnes ont enfreint les instructions de la Police Nationale en se rendant illégalement et sans document de voyage sur le territoire du Somaliland’’ ajoute le communiqué.

Les autorités de Hargueissa ont ensuite remis les quatre suspects aux autorités Djiboutiennes lesquelles coordonnent actuellement avec l’Ambassade et le Consulat de France à Djibouti leur expulsion vers Paris.

Djibouti to deport four French nationals

(Reuters) - Djibouti said on Thursday it would deport four French nationals detained as they tried to cross into Somaliland illegally.

The Red Sea state said it had placed the four under surveillance after they entered Djibouti, a former French colony hosting France's largest military base in Africa, from Paris on March 18 and began acting suspiciously.

With police in pursuit, the three men and one woman tried on Wednesday to drive into Somaliland, a breakaway region of Somalia, only to get stuck in a dry river bed.

"They were not carrying identification, but said that they were here on vacation," Mohamed Hassan Bu'ul, governor of Somaliland's Salal region, told Reuters by telephone.

Somaliland handed the four back to Djibouti, which said in a statement that it was "in the process of organizing their expulsion".

It was not immediately possible to reach the French embassy in Djibouti.

13/04/2012 - Décès de M. Jean-Paul Noël Abdi, président de la Ligue djiboutienne des droits humains (LDDH)

C'est avec émotion que nous venons d'apprendre le décès de M. Jean-Paul Noël Abdi, président de la Ligue djiboutienne des droits humains (LDDH), survenu vendredi à Marseille, en France.

Fervent défenseur des droits humains, le défunt a fait ses études à Grenoble et a milité au sein de la Fédération africaine et l’organisation des étudiants somalis en France.

De retour à Djibouti, il a travaillé à la Caisse de prestations sociales (CPS, l’actuel Organisme de Protection Sociale (OPS), tout en militant au sein de la Ligue populaire africaine pour l’indépendance (LPAI).

Nommé directeur adjoint du Cabinet de M. Abdallah Mohamed Kamil, président du Conseil de gouvernement du TFAI en 1976, après la chute de M. Ali Aref Bourhan, il sera chargé de procéder à l’"africanisation" des cadres de l’administration dans le cadre du processus d’indépendance du pays.

Au bout de six mois, il devient membre de l’Assemblée nationale et secrétaire du bureau, d’abord sous la présidence d’Ahmed Dini puis, après sa nomination à la primature, sous celle de Saad Warsama.

De 1981 à 1989, il a été secrétaire de la Commission permanente de l’Assemblée nationale, avant d’assumer les fonctions de secrétaire du bureau de l’AN pendant 5 ans, de 1992 à 1997.

Rappelons que la Ligue djiboutienne des droits humains est membre de la Fédération internationale des ligues des droits de l'Homme (FIDH). Elle jouit également d'un statut d'observateur auprès de la Commission africaine des droits de l’homme et des peuples (CADHP).
Jean-Paul Noël Abdi passed away...Very sad

May he rest in peace. He will not be forgotten as he is probably one of the founding fathers for a free and democratic Djibouti. His values and principles should be carried further.

I was really saddened by the news of his death. I only hope they bring his body back home and not bury him in Marseilles where he passed away. I admired him because he believed in what he was doing, he was sent to jail countless times, they made him broke, humiliated him yet he never gave up his principles and dream of a democratic Djibouti. It hurts that he passed away in these conditions, without seeing his dream realized.

When I heard, I said "Allah ha u naxaristo" and I had people saying you can't say that coz he was a Christian bla bla bla...it angered me lot that some people just remember him as a Christian and not the hero he was.

He won't be forgotten

Thanks Yoniii. The starting salary is modest but I expected so when I applied at the private sector, unlike the public sector, working hours are longer and salaries lower. But at least you learn something, you do something whereas in the public sector/administration you sip coffee all day and assist powerless to corruption and mismanagement. I didn't want that, so I didn't even apply at a single government institution.

No discount handsome because if we did we'd go bankrupt A lot of our clients are Ethiopian or operate in Ethiopia.
