EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of Place Menelik in Djibouti City during the 1920s. The central square, named after Emperor Menelik II of Ethiopia, serves as a vibrant hub of activity in this North-Eastern African town. The post office, located on the right-hand side of the square, is a focal point for both local residents and travelers passing through. The image showcases a diverse range of architectural styles, with European-influenced buildings, such as the post office, standing proudly alongside traditional African houses. Bicycles and pedestrians navigate the cobblestone streets, adding to the lively scene. Trees and greenery dot the square, providing shade and a sense of tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle. The presence of the Somali and Djiboutian people adds to the rich cultural tapestry of this bustling urban center. The square, with its mix of African and European influences, represents the unique blend of traditions and communities that thrived in Djibouti City during this era. Place Menelik served as a gathering place for the local population, offering a space for social interaction, commerce, and the exchange of ideas. The post office played a crucial role in connecting Djibouti City to the wider world, facilitating communication and trade. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the history and character of this intriguing African city during the 1920s.
