Djibouti's policy in light of its strategic location in the Horn of Africa region

Djibouti has realized the importance of its location overlooking one of the world's most important waterways and its control of the southern entrance to the Red Sea via the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, where the Port of Djibouti is located. This port is located at the center of international and regional shipping routes.This has prompted Djibouti to invest in it economically, politically, and militarily to address its weaknesses. The Port of Djibouti has become a transit point for the region, an international shipping point, and a refueling center. It has also become a free trade zone in the Horn of Africa and a center for service activities linked to its strategic location. It has also become a hub for foreign military bases, as Djibouti is the African country that hosts the most foreign military bases. Djibouti has sought to exploit its capabilities and geographical potential to revitalize the country's economy
