Ethnic groups in Djibouti

[Queen_Arawello]

what is the ethnic composition of Djibouti...is the Afar population increasing...

[Keyse_0208]

Afars are spread out, they live in Djibouti, Ethiopia, and Eretria... but compared to somalis they are really small

[Queen_Arawello]

From what i heard they aint small, they increasing in number, in few years time they might become the majority...

[Keyse_0208]

who cares if they become majority or not, they just people like us they got their own culture and language... and from what i know they are muslim and peacefull people

[Queen_Arawello]

They are threat to the concept of Somaliweyn they might reunite with they fellow Afars in Ethiopia...

[MrPrestige]

afars are very similar to somalis so no worries

[Queen_Arawello]

They are not, the closest to the Somalis are the Oromos

[King-of-Awdal]

Canfar are Djiboutian Citizens but not all and as some have already stated they also live in Ethiopia and Eriteria even though the ones in Djibouti are the Richest and have a much better life than the other two. Where did you hear that they are increasing? Most Somali dont Speak Canafari but some of Canfar speak Somali and this are being Somalized. I predict within 5o years almost all of them are going to be absorbed into the Somali clans. As for the concept of Somaliweyn, Djibouti is out of the Question, best case would be some of form of a European union between us. The Constitution would have to be amended to get rid of our President and most people would vote against that.
