| | In December 1996 ROAPE (No. 70) published an article by Kadamy entitled 'Djibouti: Between War and Peace' . In it he discussed the occurrence of several troublesome events which plunged Djibouti into a profound crisis in the first half of the 1990s. The most serious was a revolt against an emerging ethnic dictatorship, exacerbated by grave economic problems and compounded with a ferocious struggle for the succession of President Hassan Gouled who is seriously ill. It traced the course of events that brought Djibouti to the most dangerous point in its short history. |
