Afars and Issas

Afars and Issas, or Territoire français des Afars et des Issas, was the former French Somaliland, renamed in 1967 in order to keep the country intact and reinforce that there was a (slight) ethnic Afar majority present. In May 1977, the country gained its independence and reverted to an old name, Djibouti.
