The city of Djibouti is technically a mere 200km from Hargeisa, on a north american highway that would be a 2 hour drive. Many have lived in both places at the same time for generations now. Djibouti is extremely hot and those who's ancestral homeland is Somaliland (their grand parents moved to Djibouti at some point in time) would always go back to their hometowns in Somaliland during the summer months to escape from the extreme heat. Nothing has changed on that front from the times of French Somaliland and British Somaliland to Somalia to modern day Somaliland. Others in Djibouti had roots in Ethiopia (Dire Dawa and surrounding areas) and they too would do the same. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Xaaji Xunjuf Posted June 5, 2012 ^^ True the peoples of Somaliland and Djibouti are culturally traditionally the same and during the summers many Djiboutians stay in Somaliland. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
