WHAT HAPPENS IN DJIBOUTI WILL RIPPLE AROUND THE WORLD

This is a tale of two Djiboutis: one is a beautiful mirage telling a story of growth, development, and prosperity for all. The truth is a stark contrast, rampant with hunger, poverty, joblessness, and disease. Those who create the facade want us to believe that those in power were elected in a fair and democratic system. Unfortunately, the true story of Djibouti is one of corruption and authoritarianism amidst protests, criticism, and boycott. For over two decades, President Ismail Omar Guelleh has stayed in power by means of farcical elections. In April 2021, he intends to continue this pattern. You can help us stop him and reverse the decay of democracy in Djibouti. Helping the people of Djibouti achieve true freedom through fair, transparent elections doesn’t just help the local population, it sends a message that oppression and authoritarianism no longer have a place on our planet.

 

HOW WE CAN HELP

Spread Awareness

Perhaps the Washington Post’s tagline says it best, “democracy dies in darkness.” Our mission starts with revealing the truth about Djibouti to the world so we can truly understand the problems and begin working on solutions.

Support a Fair & Free Election 

Freeing the people of Djibouti from poverty and inequality starts with electing a leader who truly works for the good of the nation. Your contributions allow us to send the people and resources needed to administer a clean election.

Establish Good Governance

We truly believe that a government for and by the people is what will help Djibouti thrive. Our goal is to help them transition from a fascist regime to a self-managed democracy that supports all citizens.

YOUR DONATIONS WILL SEND 12 DECORATED US VETERANS TO DJIBOUTI TO ADMINISTER FAIR ELECTIONS

Our plan requires more than awareness of the stark political realities of Djibouti. To ensure their first clean election in decades, we plan to send 12 decorated US veterans to Djibouti. 

These energetic, committed thought leaders will act as self-appointed poll watchers, patrolling the election process to prevent voter fraud or intimidation as well ensure a fair and equal chance to all candidates willing to contest in the elections.

Theirs is not to influence the outcome of the election in favor of any candidate, but simply to allow the people of Djibouti to safely and confidently cast a ballot for the candidate they truly believe in.

WHEN THE ELECTORAL INTEGRITY IS FORSAKEN- THE PUBLIC TRUST IN DEMOCRACY IS SHAKEN!

Help us promote equitable election processes and democratic political transitions in Djibouti by protecting the rights and freedoms of all voters and contestants that is most fundamental to credible democracy.

SAVE DEMOCRACY. SAVE DJIBOUTI.

For its strategic geopolitical location and relative stability in a volatile Horn of Africa neighborhood, the Republic of Djibouti located at the mouth of the Red Sea, attracts considerable international economic interests and hosts significant foreign military bases. Yet, the world knows little about the internal Djiboutian crisis categorized by centralization of power, curbing of personal freedom and zero tolerance to dissent and opposition. This is the veiled face of President Ismail Omar Guelleh’s regime that masquerades as an autocracy under the garb of democracy and its institutions.
