Interestingly enough, France also owned a strategic part of Yemen opposite the colony. I’m pretty sure I read something that said France sold it to some sheikh who bought it. In an alternate timeline you guys would’ve been charging cargo passing through the bab el mandeb since it passes through your territorial waters similar to Egypt. And if you nationalised it in the 60s similar to nassr Egypt and Britain would’ve invaded or their colonial stooges in Abyssinia would’ve

The only way Djibouti could try to nationalise it is if we went hard communist with Soviets willing to pull out the MAD card if France or England intervened, similar to the Cuban missile crisis. But that's the only way we would be able to.

Or if the Americans didn't have buisness interests and U.S. Companies didn't have large investments in the port then they could tell the Europeans to back off.

The Americans forced France and Britain into a humiliating retreat after their invasion of Egypt it enraged the U.S. there’s a couple vids about it on yt , it was a very public spat between the US, Britain and France. I don’t think there’s been another geopolitical scenario that comes close to harming their relations than that one. Us-EU relations are so weird. France helped Israel build nuclear weapons against the wishes of the U.S. and then the France also tried to help Iraq build some before it got blown up by Israel like wtf

Considering the amount of wealth and resources in Somalia it was always weird to me that when siad nationalised everything the west seemed like they didn’t give af. They didn’t have much investment in the nation but surely they wanted the oil

Somalia was never really on the side of the west, african countries at independence had much their economy controlled by their former colonials and then Americans came in with their corporations later.

But in Somalia that didn't happen, Italians were useless and broke. Never had much control over the country, also the reason Italian isn't spoken in Somalia despite the decades rule. So there was never a European domination of the Somali market until after the civil war when NGOs and foreign corporations flooded in and killed Somali industry in the 1990s.
