The regions are further subdivided into 11 districts, some of which span multiple regions. Article 2 in the constitution of Djibouti states that all Djibouti people may exercise the law. Each region and even each district and any other smaller government are autonomous before the law, and regions and districts get their borders by higher government(s).

Famous quotes containing the words regions of and/or regions:

    “Within the regions of the air,
    Compassed about with heavens fair,
    Great tracts of land there may be found
    Enriched with fields and fertile ground;
    Where many numerous hosts
    In those far distant coasts,
    For other great and glorious ends,
    Inhabit, my yet unknown friends.”
    —Thomas Traherne (1636–1674)
