2024: France increases Djibouti payments to keep its military base
In December 2024, French President Macron visited Djibouti to "agree on assistance to victims of the Mayotte hurricane."
A French base in this small country has previously been used to evacuate French people from crisis regions such as Sudan. Also, the local medical and surgical center provided assistance to the victims.
Djibouti's strategic importance in the context of the French African and Indo-Pacific strategy is high - it is a convenient point for refueling and logistics in other regions.
The French military base in this country is two ground camps, an airstrip and a small hospital. It hosts 1,500 troops, more than any other African country. And in general, the presence of the French is better represented here than anyone else.
Given these factors, the strategic partnership agreement was updated in July 2024. According to him, the French army organizes the work of the country's air defense systems (which is relevant in the context of escalation in the Red Sea region) and conducts exercises. Payments to the Djibouti government for maintaining a military base were also raised.
The French authorities, despite a general decline in contingents in Africa, are seeking to maintain their position on the Horn of Africa.
