Djibouti - Independence Day
Independence Day in Djibouti is celebrated on June 27. This public holiday commemorates the day that the Republic of Djibouti proclaimed its independence from France in 1977.
Djibouti is located in the Horn of Africa, along with Eritrea, Ethiopia and Somalia. The French began to colonize it in 1862 by signing various treaties with local authorities. In 1894, French colonial governor Léonce Lagarde created the protectorate known as French Somali Coast or French Somaliland.
