Djibouti's Guelleh wins sixth term

The election results, announced by state-owned media, follow a poll that was largely boycotted by major opposition candidates.

Djibouti serves as a critical international military and maritime hub, hosting bases for several global powers including the United States and China.

Guelleh's continued leadership ensures stability for these strategic interests, though critics have raised concerns over the lack of competitive political space.

His new term will further solidify his position as one of Africa's longest-serving heads of state.
