Djibouti internet start-up to boost broadband Internet access in east Africa is still relatively slow and costly but a Djibouti-based technology start-up company has ambitions to help change that. Djibouti Data Centre (DDC), set up by a group of local and international investors 18 months ago, is the first data centre and internet exchange in east Africa connected to eight fibre optic cables that are part of the main internet route from Europe to Asia. The internet route travels through the Mediterranean, Red Sea and into the Indian Ocean, passing by tiny Djibouti, which is sandwiched between Eritrea, Somalia and Ethiopia. African internet users have typically enjoyed little benefit from these cables passing along its coast because connectivity to them has been limited, something the DDC aims to correct as it plans to expand from its home base into Kenya, Ethiopia, South Sudan and Somalia, which are all at varying stages of internet development. “The Djibouti market itself may be

Rhythmic drum beats echoed for blocks, and tantalizing smells of made-to-order dumplings and freshly stuffed pupusas welcomed guests to the sixth annual World of Montgomery Festival on Sunday. Westfield Wheaton’s parking lot was transformed into a brilliantly colored display of cultural diversity. Thousands enjoyed the free event showcasing Montgomery County’s rich diversity. The festival was sponsored by Fund for Montgomery and organized by KID (Kids International Discovery) Museum. The museum, which will have a grand opening on Sunday in Bethesda, led many hands-on, kid-friendly activities, such as making, decorating, and flying kites. Parents joined children in directing newly made kites through the windy weekend sky. The museum also organized a festival passport for children, with a scavenger hunt, fun facts about cultures, and a spot for stamps from each country’s booth. “I love this event,” said Amanda West, a mother of two from Silver Spring. “My kids interact with t
