Description
France, a former colonial power in Djibouti, retains a military base in the country. Under a defence cooperation treaty between the two countries, the French Air Force monitors Djiboutian airspace with a military control centre to "identify any potential threat", explains French colonel Fabien Coulibaly. This footage is part of a series of reports on the airbase in Djibouti, filmed by AFP at the invitation of the French Army. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
