Djibouti - Statistics & Facts
A small country on the Gulf of Aden in northeast Africa, Djibouti is a small country, home to roughly one million people. With a relatively low gross domestic product (GDP) generation, it is still an emerging nation. This translates to a fairly low but increasing life expectancy as the country continues to develop. The president, Ismail Omar Guelleh, has been in power since 1999, giving the country a sense of political stability that is not present in some of its neighbors.
