About the time in Djibouti
Djibouti sits at latitude 11.59, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 27m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
Sunrise today lands at 05:57 and sunset at 06:24 local time, giving 12h 27m of daylight. Those figures come from the city's own coordinates (11.59, 43.15) rather than a country-wide average, so they match what you would actually see from a window in Djibouti.
Around 626,512 people live in Djibouti, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
