Two Somalis were, according to the Interior Ministry, behind the attack.

Djibouti population in 2020 is estimated at 988,011. A member of the presidential guard opened fire in August at the airport in the capital Djibouti. At least two people were injured, one of whom was President Ismail Omar Guelleh’s doctor.
