Opposition Group Protests China's Military Facility in Djibouti

Geopoliticus, the blog of the Foreign Policy Research Institute, posted on 6 June 2016 "A Backlash against Chinese Military Activity in Djibouti -- And Why It Matters" by Joseph Braude Tyler Jiang.

The author cites a letter by a Djiboutian opposition party that protests the Chinese facility. With the government of Djibouti firmly in control of the country and the presence of military bases from France, the US, and Japan, China does not have much to worry about.
