Djibouti Parliament Removes Presidential Age Limit

Djibouti's parliament has removed the age limit for presidents with a unanimous vote, allowing leader Ismail Omar Guelleh to run for a sixth term.

Guelleh, 77, has held power since 1999 in the tiny Horn of Africa nation, which hosts military bases for several countries, including the United States, France, and China.

The move opens the way for Guelleh to extend his rule.
