Front for the Restoration of Unity (FRUD) began fighting Issa-dominated government of Djibouti which were the French territory of Afars and Issas. Afars made up a lot of the population, which probably gave them more power over the country. While the Issas was a big group but didn't have the amount of power that the Afars had. The Afars were in the north and west and the Issas were in the south. In early 1992, the French peace keeping forces were sent in Djibouti and made Afars rebel soldiers ceasefire. Then in late 1992, they started again in Tadjoura,many people died and hundreds were injured during the battle. The president formed a balance between Afars and Issas in 1993. FRUD split apart over discussions and disagreements which led to peace in Djibouti.

This is some cool information that is necessary to know, however I have no clue who these different ethnic groups are and their percentage of the population. Its like reading an article that is already halfway through. Try introducing the conflict to the reader and setting up the story and history of how these two opposing factions came to arms and power. Is one clan more powerful and plentiful than another? What are their government roles, both then and now? Also check out your grammar, you have a bunch of incomplete sentences. No PICTURE!!! NO SOURCE!!! How is the government dealing with keeping peace currently in Djibouti? Do the people agree with an Issa-dominated government? How do the people express their views? Through elections and protest or through violence? Name three effects either good or bad of the current government concerning keeping peace and order between the two factions.
