Glad you enjoyed the video Chalice. Great to have you here on the channel too.

No I have not been in Africa. I am French and I know many priests from Africa Congo and Uganda
Thank you for asking
Interesting information about Djibouti. It is amazing how there are no tree in the country.
Beautiful!

Great to have you on board.
Btw, have you visited any countries around the region yet?
Danke!
Thank you. Very beautiful. I am glad that I know more now, since every time I made a questionable turn in the car, my ex was convinced that we were headed to East Djibouti (A physical impossibility from New Jersey).
Very interesting . Lal from Sri Lanka . 🇱🇰
I have a different theory that, the name Djibouti 🇩🇯 comes from the ancient Egyptian God’s name Thehuti. After all, Somalis were related to ancient Egyptians
All these theories could be correct Lina because what we have today was information that was transferred from generation to generation by word of mouth
@@TheAfricanScript I am not aware of puty as the name for bear in Somali, or even this type of animal ever roaming that region...but I know the connection between Punt( Somalia) and ancient Egypt In depth
Les dammes Djiboutiennes sont vraiment jolies!
Glad you enjoyed the video
A french enclave that is too hot to survive and very expensive.i still recall how i bought a litre of camel milk with $15 ..lol
The Danakil peoples also live in Djibut.
Just wondering why these foreign armies love basing in the African regions. There's more to just security purposes than what most people know. I am also suprised that the somali ethnic group is the biggest in that country. This is was a beautiful collection of the country. Loved watching
These military bases usually represent foreign interests of these Western and Eastern countries around the region and the continent in general. Glad you enjoyed the video Sarah
What would happen if all of the foreign military was told to leave Djibouti?
I used living there before 17 years now I'm planning to comeback a gain it's hard for living there but I'm addicted qat & i speak afar Arabic fluently
in my young day, i was a french military in 10 BCS at djibouty.
The Legionnaires are the main military force in Djibouti it's one of the French colonies that they're fondest of, and it's also one of France's biggest treasures.
Long gone 13dble back in France
The Republic of Djibouti is a multi-ethnic country located in Africa. Djibouti is very rich in wildlife, scenic sightseeing spots, culture, and tradition.
Couldn’t agree more.
Thanks for this knowledge share
3:55 One of the saltiest lakes in the world... interesting
Yes.
Lake Assal ranks the same as two other saltiest lakes; Don Juan pond and Gaetale pond found in the Antarctica 🇦🇶
I wanna come now
Have you ever visited any other African countries before?
Djibouti is a multi-lingual and multi-ethnic country.Arabic and French are official languages while Somali and Afar are national languages.
Djehuty kemetic god of Wisdom
The image to show off your video is not Djibouti but rodos Greece lindos
0:47 Bears? Since when were there bears ever in Africa?
Yes. This was in the ancient times before humans were so many on the planet to force the extinction of many of these species of animals.
Otherwise, what else stood out for you in this video?
@@TheAfricanScript The salty lake
Lol 😂 yeah I laughed out loud. Because I know for a fact, the name Djibouti is connected to the Pharaohs era of ancient Somalia which Somalis love to deny
That's Ganny the man
NC USA

The narcotics freedom, like why?
There are no bears in the whole of Africa how can Djibouti derive its name from an animal that doesn't exist in the whole Continent?
