This is the background of expulsion of Emiratis from Djibouti
23 February, 2018
Sources at Al JazeeraNet have revealed the backgrounds that led the Djibouti authorities to take a decision to control the Durale container terminal from a company owned by DP World, which established and managed the station since 2006.
The sources said that the Djibouti-Djibouti relations have become very bad recently, especially after Djibouti rejected the request to establish a UAE base to follow up the situation in the Yemeni city of Aden , noting that Abu Dhabi later tried to punish Djiboutiby renting ports adjacent to its ports and then made a generous offer to the Ethiopians Who used Djibouti ports to leave and use the ports ofSomaliland at very low fees.
She noted that the Djiboutians are not satisfied with the movements of the UAE in Aden because it negatively affects them. The sources added that there is a feeling among officials in Djibouti that the agreement signed in 2005 was aimed at strangling the country's economy and was not only for political and intelligence purposes. The UAE also supports the Djiboutian opposition led by Abderrahmane Burri, currently resident in the UAE and port operator.
"We have made the Djiboutians human beings, but we will return them as they were," Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, chairman and CEO of Dubai Ports, was quoted as saying in the midst of the crisis.
