It juts hundreds of kilometers into the Arabian Sea and lies along the southern side of the Gulf of Aden. The area is the easternmost projection of the African continent. Referred to in ancient and medieval times as ''Bilad al Barbar'' ("Land of the Berbers"),〔J. D.

Saeed, ''Somali'' – Volume 10 of London Oriental and African language library, (J. Benjamins: 1999), p. 250.〕 the Horn of Africa denotes the region containing the countries of Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Somalia.〔Robert Stock, ''Africa South of the Sahara, Second Edition: A Geographical Interpretation'', (The Guilford Press: 2004), p. 26〕〔Michael Hodd, ''East Africa Handbook'', 7th Edition, (Passport Books: 2002), p. 21: "To the north are the countries of the Horn of Africa comprising Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti and Somalia."〕〔Encyclopædia Britannica, inc, Jacob E.
