On the Image in the Foreign Military Presence section it says "American soldiers in the Grand Bara desert, 2017" but these are American Marines not soldiers which is a term specific to the Army. Streetshoota2004 (talk) 04:02, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Partly done: The image description actually says this training included the Air Force, Army, and Marine Corps, so it's not completely clear which branch the people pictured are in. So, I've updated the caption in the article to say "service members" instead of "soldiers". Bsoyka (t • c • g) 04:05, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Add the word dictatorship

The infobox describes it as a dictatorship but the Politics section doesn’t use that word in the text at all. I believe the word should be included also in the Politics section. 2A02:14F:1F1:D8E8:64E8:EF5:6643:D18B (talk) 18:43, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Remove italics?

I am suggesting that the italics be removed in this sentence: “This officially marked the establishment of the Republic of Djibouti, named after its capital city.” Satchel Kay (talk) 11:51, 20 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
