Résumé
The Afars and Issas ; two ethnic groups indigenous to the Horn of Africa involved in an ongoing protraction of violence in Ethiopia. Although the population of Djibouti is majorly comprised of the two, the nation has not seen a similar level of contention since the Civil War. This thesis explores how Djiboutian civic nationalism works to reconcile the mental distances between the Afar and Issa identities caused by a historic and transnational conflict. An explanation will be presented through a case study of bureaucratic and guerrilla relations from the nation’s time as La Côte Français des Somalis to the present-day Republic. By establishing the successes and setbacks of peace development within the nation, this research will deploy a comprehensive understanding that advances knowledge of peace studies in the Djiboutian context
