The Djibouti Foreign Minister Mohamed Ali Yusuf posted on his twitter said countries in the Horn of Africa region known for its stability, tranquillity and commitment to peace.

“One of the few countries in the Horn of Africa region known for its stability, tranquillity and commitment to peace, our own, can only welcome and rejoice at the fact that our region, finally, is coming out of this situation of neither war nor peace.”Said Minister Yusuf

The associate director of the Atlantic Council’s Africa Center Kelsey Lilley said on her recent report, For decades, Djibouti was the undisputed winner of Ethiopian-Eritrean hostility and the latter’s international isolation.

Minister Yusuf also added
