This is just to suggest that petitioning the French authorities, who have a significant influence over Djibouti, would perhaps be the most effective avenue.
You are right. On June 16 I poseted the following. I am not sure howmant people paid attention.
RE: Calling the Embassy of Djibuti would not be enough
Djibouti's economic life depends on Ethiopia. The government of Djibouti is likely to return the pilots and there is not much the Ambassador of Djibouti could do.
To stop Djibouti you must call up on governments that the government of Djibouti depends more than it depends on the Ethiopian Dictator. Call the US, French and UK embasies in Djibouti. They are the ones that can stop the Government of Djibouti. Here are their numbers. Your calls to the ambassador of Djibouti may be nice but does not have much weight.
