Descrição Cédula
The French Overseas Territory of Afars and Issas (formerly French Somaliland, later to be independent as Djibouti) is located in northeast Africa at the Bab el Mandeb Strait connecting the Suez Canal and the Red Sea with the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean, has an area of 8,494 sq. mi. (22,000 sq. km.) and a population of 542,000. Capital: Djibouti. The tiny nation has less than one sq. mi. of arable land, and no natural resources except salt, sand and camels. The commercial activities of the trans-shipment port of Djibouti and the Addis Abada-Dijibouti railroad are basis of the economy. Salt, fish and hides are exported. French interest in former French Somaliland began in 1839 with concessions obtained by a French naval lieutenant from the provincial sultans. French Somaliland was made a protectorate in 1884 and its boundaries were delimited by the Franco-British and Ethiopian accords of 1887 and 1897. It became a colony in 1896 and a territory within the French Union in 1946. In 1958, it voted to join the new French Community as an overseas territory, and reaffirmed that choice by a referendum in March 1967. Its name was changed from Franch Somaliland to the French Terreitory of Afars and Issas on July 5, 1667. The Frensh Tricolor, which had flown over the strategically important territory for 115 years, was lowered for the last time on June 27,1977, when Franch Afars and Issas became Dijebouti. Note: For later issues see Djibouti. RULERS: French to 1977 MONETARY SYSTEM: 1 Franc = 100 Centimes
