Nation of eastern Africa (8)

I believe the answer is:

djibouti

(Other definitions for djibouti that I've seen before include "Republic between Eritrea and Somalia" , "part of Africa" , "African country" , "East African republic" , "Country on the Somali peninsula" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
