...Djibouti is a tiny country on the Horn of Africa between the entrance to the Red Sea and the western coast of the Gulf of Aden. The area was originally settled by the Ifat Sultanate in 1285. Emperor Amda Seyon I of Ethopia defeated Ifat in 1332 to take over rule of the region. It became a French territory in the 1800s and gained its independence in 1977.
