Djibouti President Returns Home After Health Rumours

Djibouti president Ismael Omar Guelleh has returned from France after weeks of speculation about his health, the state-owned local News Agency reported.

The government last week dismissed reports on social media that the 73 year-old president was unwell and had been receiving treatment in France.

On Sunday, President Guelleh was seen on state TV disembarking from his presidential plane and greeting officials who were waiting to receive him at the airport.

The President was on a private visit to France according to the state owned News Agency.
