I'm pretty sure this guy is a leftist loon but he might not be that far off in this case.

Stop and just walk to the plane… Let it be… Or he is going to kill you”, whispered a plain-clothed man.

My mouth would have gotten me killed.

Djibouti has always existed only as a French construct to be a base for the Foreign Legion and the French Navy.

It was that in 1976 when I was there and has not changed.

The locals would be what they are regardless of whether it was a base or not.

Think “Somalia north”.

I had an extremely slight chance of going there last year for very very good money. I passed with extreme prejudice.

I was there for a year and loved it. The people are very nice, too.

He sounds like the typical leftist loon who would excoriate the US for its supposed “cultural imperialism” and in the same breath condemn the US for not intervening in the natives’ “culture”.

I was in Djibouti a couple times many years ago. His descriptions do not surprise me.
