Breaking news out of Dijbouti, Africa
Reports out of the tiny African country of Djibouti are sketchy, but the picture is already bleak. This tiny country is located at the joining of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, and bordered by Eritrea to the north, and the Failed-States of Ethiopia to the west, and Somalia to the south.
Unconfirmed reports out of Somalia and Ethiopia have been hinting at a strengthening support of the uprising in Dominance V. In recent weeks, Mogadishu has reportedly been dominated by a single faction that had swept all other warlords and 'district leaders' aside, and a sudden increase in refugees fleeing both Somalia and Ethiopia for the more stable regions of Eritrea, Djibouti, and Kenya.
Although the Djibouti government had declared it's borders with Somalia to be closed, thousands of refugees have been able to pour into the small country's territory, and it is believed that most of the foreign fighters that launched the attacks on Djibouti came in with these refugees, linking up with indigenous supporters of the uprisings in Dominance V.
The initial attacks have included possibly dozens of car bombings in the capital and outlying communities, targeting government, civil service, and military facilities. The level of coordination and ease with which the insurgents seem to have been able to bypass the country's internal security forces lends some support to accusations made by (ruler of Djibouti), before his state of emergency broadcast was cut short by the bombing of the state broadcasting agency.
President Hikmat Abdulrashid had leveled accusations of bribery, corruption and out-right sedition against three high-ranking members of the Djibouti government, including the second-in-command of the state's military and internal security services, General Imram-Ali, who had been reported absent without leave since Monday.
Prime Minister Jabril El-Hashem was reportedly hospitalized in critical condition when his motorcade was hit by a suicide bomber mere minutes after leaving his home this morning.
The Eritrean government has refused to comment on the violence in it's south-eastern neighbor's borders, although they have declared a state of emergency and have begun mobilizing their military reserves and doubled their border-guard details.
