"We arise with strength! for we have raised our flag" - "Djibouti" (Somali: Jabuuti, Afar: Gabuuti, Arabic: جيبوتي, romanizedJibuti) is the national anthem of Djibouti.[1] Adopted upon independence from France in 1977, the lyrics, which are in Somali, were written by Aden Elmi, while the melody was composed by Abdi Robleh.[1]

The anthem was first officially played at an independence ceremony on 27 June 1977.[2]
