peace. the most effective usaid tool in general for american humanitarian policy is international exchange programs, when young people come to study in the united states, and when, in parallel, american universities open around the world. usa, american corners are actively participating in this process, and we should note here interdepartmental cooperation; there is practically no inter-investigative struggle here, because all the institutions of american humanitarian policy work hand in hand. the largest one means the event that was held and which was the most dangerous for russia was the publication of textbooks for universities, carried out by the soros foundation. this program was partially funded by the international development agency, this was the most dangerous, because

in this way they tried to completely reformat higher education, that is, in the russian federation. americans still earn money from their humanitarian projects, firstly, students from other countries bring $37 billion to the us treasury annually, and secondly, with regard to infrastructure foreign humanitarian projects. strangely, according to the us trade and development agency, for every dollar invested in humanitarian projects, americans earn $136 in us exports, so americans are still making good money from their humanitarian projects.

we continue: the african state of djibouti, this small and not the most famous country on the continent is dedicated to the release of the formula of power program. its authors talked with the president of djibouti, he has been in power for more than 20 years. how to maintain economic stability in a state where there are neither minerals nor fertile lands, look. and now.

the power formula is back in africa, not only because the second russia-africa forum took place this year, and not only because africa is amazing. a continent that has not yet been fully explored, simply because we still, as it seems to us, know very little about africa, when this word is pronounced, africa , beautiful jungles, unexplored paths, uh, fauna, stunning waterfalls, rivers appear before our eyes, some very large, famous african countries. but in

africa has such corners and countries that they know very little about, about which very few have even heard, one of such countries is the republic of djibouti, the form of government was in this country, we want to tell you about it today, the state of djibouti is located on the coast of the gulf of aden. the indian ocean is northeast africa, african rock, its neighbors are ethiopia and eritrea. the country is very small, its total area is about 23 km. population less than a million. there are two official languages ​​here, french and arabic. also common spoken languages. samali and ofar, religion, sunni islam. we are a muslim

people from the very beginning because we. we are right opposite the holy places of islam, we are at the one and a half hour mark if you fly by plane, and we were the first, one of the first to accept islam, so our islam is a moderate, tolerant islam, you know, we have here and churches. orthodox, catholic, protestant, all three religions are represented here and have their own places of worship. president of the republic of djabouti, ismail amar, geleh, here

he has been leading his country for 23 years, and we talked with him about how, in conditions of an almost complete absence of mineral resources. in the conditions of arid lands , it is still possible to somehow maintain stability and at least some relative prosperity in the country. thank you, thank you very much, first of all, i want to say welcome to you, because for the first time we are accepting a person of such quality, such strength as you. and we think it is very good to introduce the people of russia to our country. ismail amar gilileh, born 27 november 1947 in dereda, ethiopia,

belongs to the isa clan. he emigrated to djibouti in the late sixties, graduated from a traditional islamic school there, began his career with... service in the police in 1975, entered the african people's league for independence, 1977-1999, head of the office of president hassan gouled optidon, head of the external internal national security service . in 1979 he joined the ruling party, the people's union for progress. since april 9 , 1999, extremely hot, tropical, suffice it to say that in winter the temperature at 30°, and in the summer at 40, sometimes at 50, there is very

little precipitation, and then it falls only rarely, rarely in late autumn at the beginning of winter. djibouti has virtually no mineral resources. is it gypsum and limestone, the topography of the country, if you look at the map, is entirely mountain ranges , lava and plateaus and cones of extinct volcanoes , in the central part there are rocky sandy plains, the danakil desert, and the saltiest lake in the world - assal, its shore, by the way, say, the lowest point in africa. djibouti is not rich in wildlife, sometimes you can meet antelopes, mainly hyenas and jackals. there are a lot of snakes, only the coastal waters are rich in fish, and how can djibouti survive in such conditions. we live in a country that is located on strategically important routes.

here we have the second most important global route for commercial, as well as military, shipping. ours is very small. country, but it is a wonderful country. djibouti is the sea gate of africa, a transit point on international trade routes from europe and the mediterranean to east africa and the countries of the asia-pacific region. port of djibouti - one of the largest and most important in the western part of the indian ocean. it was built back in 1888. since 2000, large-scale reconstruction and expansion of the port began. today it is a modern enterprise where innovative technologies are used, and work is in full swing 24 hours a day. merchant ships flying the flags of different countries enter the port to

refuel and deliver valuable cargo for the needs of the countries of east and north-east africa. in addition, a free zone has been created in the area of ​​the port of djibouti. economic zone, which is replenished from the operation of the port the state treasury, and as a result, the main life of the country is centered around the port; more than half the population lives in the capital in djibouti. this is the country's largest transport hub. roads leading out of the city connect djibouti with somalia and ethiopia. the main public transport is buses. the first railway line from djibouti to the uwa democratic republic of ethiopia stretched back in 1902 . cargo began to be delivered deep into the african continent. today the railway has been modernized, laid on a new , more direct track, parallel to old, new stations are built outside

urban centers, which allows for a significant increase in speed. currently, the total length of railways in djibouti exceeds 120 km. we believe that we are investing a lot in railways, in roads. we are now building a new international airport, much larger than what we have. we want to be useful to the region and become an important economic center. this is the future we have envisioned for djibouti. the country's economy as a whole is poorly developed. agriculture is dominated by nomadic and semi-nomadic. livestock farming, camels are bred and sold. djibouti is the main supplier of camels to eastern countries.

agriculture is not developed at all, the area of ​​cultivated land is about 1%. they grow vegetables, mainly tomatoes, watermelons and melons, some coffee, and collect phoenix trees. in coastal areas, people engage in fishing, crab fishing , mother-of-pearl and pearl mining, and sponge collection. the future of djibouti is of course connected with hopes for investment, humanitarian assistance, and the operation of a seaport; in general, there are no other possibilities, young people who want to get a profession study abroad, because in djibouti young people can only receive primary or secondary education, secondary technical higher education, djiboutian youth receive mainly... in france, more than half of graduates do not return to their homeland after completing their studies are returning. a third

of djibouti's population is illiterate. the soviet union helped the djiboutians train national personnel. diplomatic relations between the ussr and djibouti were established on april 3, 1978. you know with russia, we have a relationship without any difficulties. since russia has never been a colonial power, so our relations began in the healthiest atmosphere since 1977, we had the chance to take our first steps into the soviet union, together with friends, we

learned during the struggle for independence, and this is what russia provided we have a lot of student scholarships for training djiboutian personnel as civilians. and the military, we also, of course, had family ties, i won’t hide it, mr. president, djibouti, unfortunately, is not yet so well known in russia, and the first thing that comes to mind when you hear it is the so romantic-sounding name djibouti, these are flamingos on the shore of the lake, volcanic smoke, some beautiful underwater reefs, that’s if you , and i think that

there is no better guide to the country than the president of the country, so if you wanted, so to speak, to attract russians to djibouti, what would you tell them first of all? we have here one of the best places on earth, where you can find more than 68 species of fish in the underwater world, this place they call it... these are seven small islands, here people who love scuba diving find many opportunities. we have two whole seas, or rather the ocean sea, the red sea and the indian ocean, they are found in djibouti, i don’t know if you can find a whale shark in any other country, the back of which you can climb yourself, or put on top of yours child,

take a photo, 153 m below sea level, i can name many other attractions, near the city of darale there are the best and completely deserted beaches djibouti, you can rent a boat and sail to the protected islands of moskali and musha. in the bay. the incredibly beautiful coral reefs in the gulf of aden are the dream of any diver; spearfishing is prohibited here, but everyone can admire the splendor and diversity of the underwater world; at the bottom of the babeldep strait, which is notorious among sailors, according to various estimates, there are from

one and a half to 600 sunken ships of all times of peoples. there are excellent places here. on wheels, perfectly flat desert plains, petit vara and grand bar, along the way from djibouti to alis objek, we generally compete with our egyptian brothers, who host many russian tourists in sharm el-sheikh, but those places in the north of our country that i told you about. so wonderful that as soon as the hotels are built, they will be able to attract many more tourists, including tourists whom we will lure away from those familiar places where they are usually used to going, 60% of the country's population are

somali people, who are called issa, this is part population, in the south and southeast, here in the north and north-west live the peoples of the saravaya peninsula, they are called afars. these nomadic tribes inhabited the territory of present-day djibouti back in the first centuries of our era. in the 5th-6th centuries it was part of the aksun state. in the 6th century it came under the rule of arab sultans. it was then that islam and arabic spread among the local population. language in the 16th century on the somali peninsula there were wars between the portuguese and ethiopians on the one side and the turks and somalis on the other. the territory of present-day djibouti was conquered by the portuguese. at 17 century, arab dominance was re-established. the indigenous population maintained a nomadic

lifestyle. the arabs ruled and traded. in 1862, the french... uzes formalized their possession of present-day djibouti by an agreement with the sultan of adala. in 1881, construction began on the modern city of djibouti. in 1896, the colony received the official name of the french coast of somalia, since 1967 the french territory of afar and isa. at the end of the 1960s, with the support of the republic of somalia. the issa began a guerrilla war against the government. the french gave in. on may 8, 1977 took place referendum in which the majority voted for independence. on june 27 , independence was declared and the state was named the republic of djibouti. the president became

the leader of the first interethnic party, the african people's league for independence hassan. he ruled the country until 1991. i would like to touch on the very beginning of djibouti’s independence, when the first president, hassan ggulet aptidon, was at the head of the country , you were close to him, as i understand it, you had a lot in common in your political views, there is a certain continuity of your political course, what of the legacy of the first president do you consider today. i especially appreciate the will to keep the country united, my predecessor, president hassan , being recognized as the father of the nation, because he dedicated his whole life to liberating the country

from colonial dependence, and creating what we call the djiboutian identity. and the law that he left us is, proud of its belonging to an african nation, the political life of djibouti, both during the colonial protectorate and after gaining independence in 1977, was determined to a large extent by the confrontation between the two ethnic groups that actually inhabit this small country, the afar and the isa. during the period of the colonial mandate. administration of the laf reign and then, after independence, issa. in 1979 , there was a surge of discontent among the afars, a guerrilla war began, and for more than 10 years

there was a civil war in djibouti, which ended with a power-sharing agreement. our interlocutor, ismail omar guelleh, who held the position of at that time, the post of chief of the presidential office, made a lot of efforts to ensure that peace was achieved in the country. he was the president of the country. and probably the main reason why djiboutians still vote for him to this day is that he is a staunch supporter of the unity of the country. you know that in african countries. very, very many different peoples and languages. we are lucky here, we only

have two of them, what unites us is country, nation, traditions, since we all come from pastoralists and nomads, and religion, all this we are united, yes, and languages ​​have a common origin. groups, and now we are called the people of djibouti, and not afar and not issa, well, islam, as a religion, has its own traditional holidays, which, of course, are celebrated by djiboutians, probably, there are some other holidays, let's say, purely folk , ethnic, which came from ancient times, you know, if we talk about holidays , then first of all, this is a national holiday, june 27,

and also the main holidays are the birthday of the prophet, the big holiday of the end of the month of ramadan, then there is also the holiday of the end pilgrimage. these three holidays, the most important in our country, we celebrate them with our family, with children, at home, we prepare a lot of different very tasty dishes, lamb and all kinds of sweets, you said, mr. president, that you celebrate the holidays with your family, i i know that you are a father... of children, well, this is generally such a responsible mission , in this regard, how often do you have time in your presidential schedule to find time for your

family, and you know, i’m not young, my children are all grown up, and i give to each and every one of them live the life they want, thank you very much, mr. president, for this conversation. i would like to wish happiness and prosperity to the djiboutian people and that relations between our countries, between the people of djibouti and russia, strengthen. thank you, mr. president, thank you, i know this word in russian, before we leave, let me leave you with our souvenir, this is a russian samovar, here. and the kettle is brewing and this is to pour electricity inside there, i would like this cheese maker to take its rightful place in your home and

investment rating, economics, through specific stories, we can reach people, we often talk about money, the amounts are serious, in russia there is a clear and clear signal, at what point you say: everything, i did everything i could in this project, i'll never say russian industry to replace foreign suppliers? it is necessary to mobilize all resources, give me a recipe in general , this is how to achieve what you have achieved, it seems to you that you are on top of the world, you got up, dusted yourself off and went, is russia ready to change, evolution occurs in any structure.

we will take on this case, it will be an honest detective story.
