Djibouti and the Death of Hamoudi Ahmed
In the history of Djibouti, the name Hamoudi Ahmed occupies a significant place. This name is mentioned in tourist brochures because the mosque he built, popularly known as Hamoudi Mosque, is among Djibouti’s landmarks. Originating from Yemen and part of the Yemeni diaspora that settled in colonial Djibouti, Hamoudi Ahmed became a rich merchant. However, despite the fame of his name, little is known about how his wealth came to be lost. This opac…
Africa's unholy migrants
This article sheds new light on the migration of Africans to the European Union by looking at how spatial mobility relates to migrant morality, informed by in-depth qualitative interviews with members of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church in Paris. Although issues such as discrimination and exclusion are salient features of contemporary migration, the process of migration across space in the 'age of borders' also forces migrants to appraise their shar…

While debates about citizenship and exclusion in Africa frequently centre on the legacies of colonialism and the incompleteness of the African state, this article attributes the problems of citizenship to the logic of sovereignty and the nature of the modern state. Drawing on archival and ethno…
Muslim Hadramis in “Christian Ethiopia
The migration and diasporic formation of Hadramis in the Indian Ocean region has received due consideration lately from the academic community. Despite the recent attention however, scholarly works regarding Hadramis in East Africa remain scant. This article is aimed to redress the imbalance. Based on ethnographic research that was conducted in the East African country of Ethiopia which is traditionally considered as a Christian nation and adopti…
