History of the Jews in Djibouti

The location of Djibouti in Africa

In the history of the Jews in Djibouti, the Jews of Djibouti are classified as part of the wider Yemenite Jewish community similar to those in Eritrea and Aden. Originally settling in Obock, and finally Djibouti City, in the wake of the British succession of the Gulf of Tadjoura to the French in 1884.[1] The vast majority of the community made aliyah to Israel in 1949.
