It's a country with fewer than a million people and very limited natural resources, yet Djibouti is courted by world powers. That's because of its strategic location at the entrance to the Red Sea and south of Suez.
Relatively stable, it has drawn the attention of military planners in Japan, China, France and the US, who have all set up military bases there.
Incumbent president Ismail Omar Guelleh has been in power for 17 years but the opposition accuses him of not doing enough to deal with the country's high unemployment.
According to the World Bank, 20 percent of the population lives in poverty. Not everyone has been enthusiastic about the vote, some opposition parties boycotted it.
Voters in the tiny east African nation of Djibouti cast their ballots to pick a president.
After claims of repression and unfair constitutional change, the election is not without controversy.
What will it mean for stability? What are the global implications from a strategically important part of the world?
Presenter: Sami Zeidan
Guests:
Hamidou Wone - Specialist in conflict management who served as a diplomat in the Horn of Africa
Aly Khan Satchu - Emerging economy specialist in Nairobi

In Djibouti, some 187,000 voters are eligible to vote in presidential elections on Friday April 8. The current head of state, Ismail Omar Guelleh, who has been in power since 1999, is seeking a fourth consecutive term. Nicknamed "IOG", he looks set for a comfortable re-election win against a divided opposition. Our correspondents report.
Djibouti, a small country in the Horn of Africa, is pampered by its international partners because of its strategic position at the entrance to the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. It's here that France, the former colonial power, has set up its largest military base abroad. The US and Japan also each have a base, while China is set to build one by the end of 2017.
Considered a stable partner, the Djiboutian authorities are nevertheless accused by human rights organisations of gagging the press and making life difficult for opposition parties. FRANCE 24's Duncan Woodside and Thaïs Brouck report from Djibouti.

Djibouti is facing its own problems with poverty in spite of large foreign investments in recent years, and now it is making an effort to welcome some 40,000 Yemenis who have moved there to escape the war at home.
The tiny Horn of Africa state of Djibouti is now home to more than 40,000 Yemenis who have fled their war-torn country.
In spite of Djibouti’s own economic struggle, the people and government are making a sincere effort to welcome these people and to consider them a group that could drive significant economic growth for the country.
The Yemeni refugees started in a camp, but have been registered and allowed to work and have since moved to the capital to earn a living.

The US Central Command reports that over 10 hours, 12 one-way attack drones, three anti-ship ballistic missiles, and two land attack cruise missiles launched by the Houthis have been successfully neutralized by the US military.
This has led to significant disruptions in business, with a nearly 35 percent reduction in the number of ships transiting the Bab al-Mandab strait. Consequently, numerous vessels have been stranded for six days, uncertain about when they will receive clearance to depart.
The Houthis are imposing new regulations, demanding assurances from every passing ship that they have no connections with Israel—neither heading to nor departing from Israeli ports, and not owned by Israelis.

United Nations, New York, 15 February, 2011 - The United Nations refugee agency has begun setting up a new camp for internally displaced persons (IDPs) in western Côte d'Ivoire who fled their homes as a result of violence and uncertainty related to the current post-election political crisis in the West African country.
"Humanitarian conditions have deteriorated with the shortage of shelter and our hope is that the new camp will ease pressure, in particular for the most vulnerable," Melissa Fleming, spokesperson for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR ), told reporters in Geneva. The agency has so far registered a total of 38,600 IDPs in western Côte d'Ivoire.
