French Somaliland (French: Côte française des Somalis) was a French colony in the Horn of Africa. Established after the French signed various treaties between 1883 and 1887 with the then ruling Somali Sultans,[1] it lasted from 1896[2] until 1967, when it was renamed the French Territory of the Afars and the Issas. French Somaliland occupied the territory of present-day Djibouti.
