DJIBOUTI (AFP) -- Britain is expected to seal an agreement with Djibouti next month to allow the deployment of British troops in this tiny but strategic Horn of Africa nation as part of a U.S.-led international counter-terrorism operation, officials said Thursday.

Djibouti's Defense Minister Ougoureh Kifleh and a British envoy said the deal was expected to be signed in mid- to late-January after details of English- and French-language versions of the agreement were completed.

"We had received the terms of this agreement earlier, but this time the British delegation brought copies in French ... so we can now amend them and agree on a final pact," Kifleh told AFP at the end of a two-day visit to the former French colony by a group of British diplomats. He could not discuss the exact size of the British deployment or when it was expected but a British envoy in Djibouti said Britain's ambassador to neighboring Ethiopia, Bob Dewar, would return "in three weeks time to sign a memorandum on the modalities of the deployment." Djibouti is already home to France's largest overseas military base and the only U.S. military base in Africa and currently hosts some 1,500 American troops and several hundred German, Dutch and Spanish soldiers participating in the U.S.-led anti-terrorism operation known as "Enduring Freedom."

Djibouti, located at the southern end of the Red Sea on the Gulf of Aden, is a key staging post between the Mediterranean, the Suez Canal and the Indian Ocean.

They would have to recognise Sland before they are let in to the ocuntry

Djibouti is becoming the rear base for everybody that can enter somalia/land , shame on them .
Gormaan gartay iney bilaa dhiig yihin , nacala aboohod ku yaal.
Let me be clearer here. Gaal nimadooda kuma haysto , tuugta meesha joogta {Ismacil cumar} ayaan naacay. Germany, Spain , Holland, French,Yannkes and now brits , fu.ck dude that's fuc.kin too many di.cks for the tiny Jibut puzz.y

^^sow adba reer jabuuti matihid?

Kuddafadaan ku tuuray baasaboorki Jibuti markaan lowga{lowyacada}ka talaabay, anigu .Shaqo dambaan ku leeyahaay Jibuti , ma jirto saxib
Maalintu ismacil cumar dhinto laga yaaba inaan ku noqdo

si fiican ayuu u pimp-gareeyay walle. Dang, the first thing you see markaad airtportka aad ka degto is the american military base.

Ma lacag fiican bey siiyaan horta?

Djibouti is a son of a biatch country. I remember how those AC-130 gunships used to fly from Djibouti to bomb us in Xamar in 1993.

Hasan Abtidon was a piece of sh.it. Even Ethiopia our enemy refused to allow the Americans to use their country to attack Xamar.

Hell yeah , maxaad moodeysa.The shameful thing is , waxay ka kiciyeen one of the drone mid arab ah oo Bin laden bey wax isku yihin la laha lagu dilay, airport ka Jibuti.
Retours de medaille baa lagu yidhahda af faransiiska, ta ku dhacday. Niman aan deegan u lahayn Jibuti bey tan iyoo 77-ki hayeen , ilaa iyoo lagu yidhi faraansiski , okay iska eega. Lacagti french ku uu siin jiray dowladda Jibuti , kor bey uu qaadeen , laakiin meel ey waxaaso dhani maran , Ilaah ba og.
PS: the maamasan { ismacil cumar, are not the legitimate owners of the degaan of Jibuti}who are dispersed between Somalia and Ethiopia , ayaa Jibuti uu taliya ku yidhi french, who knew that they were nothing in either country They were crushed by the SNM, when under the auspices of Hassan Gouled they dare to dream of a cise land , bringing zeylac and a piece of the giriiyad into Jibouti.

ARE THEY HORTA MALIS CUS THEY ACT LIKE FRENCH PPL
