"In 1958, on the eve of neighboring Somalia's independence in 1960, a referendum was held in Djibouti to decide whether to join the Somali Republic or to remain with France. The referendum turned out in favour of a continued association with France, partly due to a combined yes vote by the sizable Afar ethnic group and resident Europeans. There were also allegations of widespread vote rigging. The majority of those who had voted no were Somalis who were strongly in favour of joining a united Somalia as had been proposed by Mahmoud Harbi, Vice President of the Government Council. Harbi was killed in a plane crash two years later."
Djibouti would've been apart of Somalia but the French wanted to keep their influence on a country with good geographical location.
Somali's are loyal and patriots, we wanted to join Somalia, but instead the French decided it was a good idea for the Afar, and couple holiday makers to decide our future. Our patriotic leaders such as Mahmoud Harbi where killed, and traitors like Guelleh and his family took over.

Nope, Djiboutia was never part of Somalia. Its a sovereign country.
It just has majority Somali speaking population.

You missed the point, counties didn't exist before the colonisation, there was just kingdoms, Sultanate's etc. Had their been no colonisation, then we would've lived in a Greater Somalia. Bear in mind, Adal Sultanate was located in Djibouti and Somalia.
Well, they are a sovereign country now and I am sure they aren't going to join Somalia.
Then why it was called French Somaliland ? Even the capital Djibouti is Somali word from Dabka because of heat. Listen the Afar were nomads tribe who came from live in north Sudan, Ethiopia , Eritrea and they are minority in all these countries.
Sxb, our lands stretched all the way to Eritrea. Sovereign or not, Djibouti is Somali land. Period

What are you talking about? No one is denying Djibouti is a majority Somali speaking country. But they are not part of Somalia. Its a sovereign independent country that isn't recognized as part of Somalia.
The US/Canada both share the same dhaqan and religion but are also two different countries.
Then why it was called French Somaliland ?
They are called that because they were colonized by the french.
But what does that prove or has anything to do with? They aren't PART of Somalia.
French Somaliland Somali Somalia
. It's quite clear Djibouti is a separate country.
I think the point that points towards Puntland, is actually pointing towards Socotra Island. Yemen claim it.
Nope it is not the island is tiny and was not that important for Somalis.
The British and Italians both named the island under their rule. I doubt the two right points would be pointing towards Italian Somaliland. Socotra is tiny, but it's not like any other Island. Why do you think Yemen claim it? The geographic location is perfect as well.
