“Djibouti’s main economic asset is its strategic location. The city of Djibouti, capital and home to nearly two-thirds of the country’s population, is a major transshipment port and bunkering facility. Good transportation infrastructure with the country and links to neighboring African states earns Djibouti much-needed transit taxes and harbor fees. Trade through Djibouti increased significantly during the Ethiopian-Eritrean war when Djibouti became the only significant port for landlocked Ethiopia.”
