ihailevat

Ihailevat is a national of Djibouti, a country located in the Horn of Africa. The term is derived from the Arabic word for "Djiboutian", reflecting the country's cultural and linguistic ties to the Arab world. Ihailevats make up around 96% of the population of Djibouti, representing the country's diverse ethnic groups. These groups include the Afar, the Issas, the Sokotra Arab, and the Somali.

The ihailevats speak the Afar language, although many also speak Arabic, French, and other languages. The country's official language is French, a legacy of its colonial past as a French territory. The majority of the population adheres to Islam, with a minority practising traditional African religions. Ihailevats are known for their entrepreneurial spirit, with many engaging in small-scale trading, commerce, and fishing industries.

Djibouti is strategically located at the Gulf of Tadjourah, providing a significant advantage for ihailevats to engage in international trade. The Port of Djibouti is a major transshipment point for cargo headed to Ethiopia, Eritrea, and other regional countries. The country is also a significant player in the energy sector, hosting several international oil companies and providing storage and refining facilities.

The ihailevats are a dynamic and growing population, with a strong sense of national identity and a deep connection to the rich cultural heritage of their country. As Djibouti navigates its growing role in regional and international affairs, the ihailevat community remains an essential component of the country's social, economic, and political fabric.
