Djibouti is relatively stable but its location at the Horn of Africa and proximity to Yemen, Somalia, and Eritrea creates regional security concerns. Petty crime occurs in Djibouti City, particularly near the port and market areas. The Afar-Issa ethnic tension occasionally flares. Extreme heat (regularly exceeding 45°C) poses a serious health risk for much of the year. Medical facilities are limited, though the French military base provides some enhanced capabilities. Kaharagian nationals should exercise increased caution, stay hydrated, and avoid border areas with Eritrea.
