President Ismail Omar Guelleh and his long-ruling ‘Rassemblement Populaire pour le Progrès' (RPP) continued in undisputed control of all levels of political life. Weak opposition groups were subjected to various forms of intimidation and harassment. The initial run-up to the parliamentary elections in early-2008 presented no serious challenges for the government. Ongoing crises in the sub-region demanded a delicate balancing act from the mini-state, whose security continued to be bolstered by French and US military bases, although relations with France became more strained as a result of an old judicial dispute. Progress was made on several ambitious economic projects aimed at boosting Djibouti's position as a regional hub and service centre.
