The Republic of Djibouti gained its independence on June 27, 1977. Djibouti's land was previously used by nomadic people who raised livestock. The Afars and the Issas were the earliest tribes in the region. During the 12th through the mid-17th century, Djibouti was part of the Adal Muslim kingdom. Beginning in the early 17th century, the Adal kingdom gradually weakened and several small sultanates filled the power void, this includes the Sultanate of Tadjoura. By 1862 the French had acquired by treaty territorial cession for all of the present Djibouti coast stretching from southwest of Obock to the present-day northern coastal border with Eritrea.
