Like many other African countries, the area inhabited by ethnic Somalis has experienced great divisiveness since at least the mid-1800's, when the area was carved into multiple territories. France controlled the north, now known as Djibouti, Britain and Italy colonized areas further south, and still other regions were under the rule of neighboring Kenya and Ethiopia. In 1960, the Italian and British areas were united into an independent Somalia, and in 1977 Djibouti became a separate nation after receiving independence from France. The regions of Kenya and Ethiopia which contain large numbers of ethnic Somalis are sources of border disputes presently.
