Djibouti is presently enjoying relative political stability after a civil war that took place in the African country from 1991 to 1994. The war ended with a peace accord being signed with the Afar opposition movement-the Front for the Restoration of Unity and Democracy or FRUD. The paucity of intellectual capital in Djibouti has forced the government to seek continual aid funding from international donor agencies like the International Monetary Fund or IMF. Service industries form the principal foreign exchange earner of the country.
