[1966] Minister of Somali Affairs
This book is historical analysis published by the Somali Republic to dispute Ethiopia’s territorial claims over French Somaliland (modern-day Djibouti). It explores Ethiopia’s expansionist narrative, examining historical maps, treaties, and cultural distinctions between the Somali, Afar, and Ethiopian peoples. It argues that French Somaliland, historically independent of Ethiopian control, was shaped by treaties with the French and local leaders, highlighting the area’s unique identity and opposition to Ethiopian claims.
