		ECONOMY Djibouti's fledgling economy depends on a large foreign expatriate community, the maritime and commercial activities of the Port of Djibouti, its airport, and the operation of the Addis Ababa-Djibouti railroad.
		Djibouti's most important economic asset is its strategic location on the shipping routes between the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean -- the republic lies on the west side of the Bab-el-Mandeb, which connects the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.
		Because Djibouti is greatly affected by events that occur in Somalia and Ethiopia, and vice versa, relations are delicate.

	Djibouti Relationship
		Considering Djibouti’s unwavering opposition to the self-determination of the people of Somaliland and her attempt to derail the economy, it is inexplicable and contradicting to bestow Djibouti the status of an intimate ally “Wallalo” which should be reserved for friendly and sympathetic states.
		Djibouti’s anti-Somaliland campaign is consistent with her interest and her effort to revive the unity of the collapsed state (Somali Republic) is a pretext to deny the recognition of Somaliland.
		Djibouti is a front for the Arab League.Developing the Port of Berbera would undoubtedly steal considerable business from Djibouti but there is also another reason of economic magnitude that steers the foreign policy of Djibouti.Djibouti is economically one of the poorest countries in the world and she is highly infected with corruption.

	Military Spending in the Arab World
		While increases in GNP greater than those on military expenditure are generally considered desirable and a sign of progress, closer examination of the countries of the Arab world shows that the combined statistics do not necessarily present a true picture of the situation for many countries of the region.
		While foreign military aid may be a somewhat hidden aspect of military expenditure, it is by no means unimportant, enhancing both the military capabilities of its receivers and the security and economic interests of its donors.
		US military aid to Israel for the same years was $4.1bn, $2.8bn and $2.8bn respectively, while Turkey received $1.5bn, $1.6bn and $2.7bn for the same three years.

		But Djibouti is also a telling example of a problem that has bedeviled the Bush administration's war on terror: the struggle to harmonize its own military goals with the needs of the countries in which it is operating.
		So it actually seems as though US aid to Djibouti is higher than average for the region, and has recently increased substantially, both of which run counter to the standalone numbers (just this one year, just this one country) given in the NYT article.
