Djibouti's doddering despot, Guelleh, launders his grip on power by axing the age cap he once imposed, queuing up a sixth term at 77—eternal rule masquerading as stability, while rights rot in the shadows of foreign bases. Grassroots clamor for true turnover bites back. #Djibouti

Today is election day in Djibouti 🇩🇯

Ismaïl Omar Guelleh, in power since 1999, will most likely be re-elected...
