Djibouti needs to get rid of French, nobody in the region speaks it.

Almost every country in East Africa mainly uses English as the sole European working language.

They are basically and honestly prostitutes of the French..they never gained independence...Horta frankiisku wa saqajaan he never let go of his old colonial Africa..they hold the strings behind the scenes..Djibouti has a protection guarantee with the French..

French was an empire that colonized countries across the glob.

Today Somalia and Somaliland are at the beck and call of colonies of the French and bantu who had gorilla brain for breakfast and rinsed it with orangutan piss.

And none located in East Africa.

Sudan, Ethiopia, Egypt, Eritrea, Somalia, Kenya, Uganda, South Sudan etc all use English.

Since when were Rwanda, Burundi, Madagascar and perhaps even Seycheles and Mauritius not part of East Africa.

Rwanda-Burundi = Central Africa
Madagascar = own category or Southern Africa.
Seychelles/Mauritius = insignificant.

Anyhow, French is utterly useless in East Africa. English and Arabic are the dominant foreign languages.

Notice that majority of Africans who have been ruled by Britain got rid of their colonial language but Mr French has left some serious footprint in these slaves

LoL Djiboutians. Most of em left their country and relocated to Ottawa and Montreal in Canada.

These countries are considered to be part of East and Central geographically. Though they associate with the East more economically.

'Ten years from now, Djibouti should be integrated back into Somalia.

How is that working for Somalia?

French is a neutral language for both afars and Somalis in Djibouti.
It's like that for many multi-ethnic countries that were under colonization, they make the colonizer's language official so no ethnic group can feel dominated.
But Somali Djiboutians also need to keep their Somali language alive because I remember during my stay in Djibouti as a kid my cousins could only speak French and hardly any Somali. The language barrier was the reason why I never really got along with them.
