Located in the central interior of the eastern African country of Djibouti, in the Afar region, Baalho is one of the major transportation nodes connecting Djibouti City to the Ethiopian border. The economy of this town, with a population of about 10,000, is based on traditional agriculture and pastoralism, and most of the local residents are engaged in nomadic farming, with camels, goats and a few crops as the main source of livelihood. As a cultural crossroads in East Africa, Baalho has preserved the traditional customs of the Afar people, and the regularly held fairs have become a platform for the exchange of goods and cultural fusion among the neighboring tribes. Despite its relative remoteness, with the gradual improvement of Djibouti's national infrastructure, Baalho is gradually emerging as a regional hub for logistics and trade in agricultural and livestock products.
São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
