The '''Djiboutian Civil War''' (also known as the '''Afar Insurgency''') was a conflict in [[Djibouti]] between the [[People's Rally for Progress]] (RPP) government (predominantly [[Ciise]] in ethnicity) and the predominantly [[Afar (ethnicity)|Afar]] rebel group, the [[Front for the Restoration of Unity and Democracy]] (FRUD). This [[civil war]] broke out in [[1991]] as a reaction to the lack of Afar presence in the government (despite being the first largest ethnic group in Djibouti at 58%, behind [[Somali people|Somali]] [[Somali clan|clans]] like the Ciise who comprise about 35%). FRUD signed a peace accord with the government in December [[1994]], ending the conflict. Two FRUD members were made cabinet members, and in the presidential elections of 1999 the FRUD campaigned in support of the RPP. | The '''Djiboutian Civil War''' (also known as the '''Afar Insurgency''') was a conflict in [[Djibouti]] between the [[People's Rally for Progress]] (RPP) government (predominantly [[Ciise]] in ethnicity) and the predominantly [[Afar (ethnicity)|Afar]] rebel group, the [[Front for the Restoration of Unity and Democracy]] (FRUD).
