In Djibouti, new salt miners have been coming in for the salt that is all across Djibouti. They have been atracted to about 50 square miles of salt that is 20 to 30 feet deep. "As a salt person, my first impression was, 'why was all this salt sitting here?'" said Daniel R. Sutton, an American salt miner who is overseeing a new $70 million operation to use Djiobuti's plentiful salt.
Djibouti is becoming a little country of big dreams. Hundreds of millions of dollars of overseas investment is coming in, promising to turn Djibouti, which right now does not even have a stoplight, into something of an African trade center.
Djibouti is still a pour country, but they can still progress, hopefully through the salt mining business.
