The two largest ethnic groups native to Djibouti are the [[Somalis]] (60%) and the [[Afar people|Afar]] (35%). The [[Somali clan]] component is mainly composed of the [[Issa (clan)|Issa]] followed by the [[Gadabuursi]] and the [[Isaaq]]. The remaining 5% of Djibouti's population primarily consists of [[Yemenis|Yemeni Arabs]], [[People of Ethiopia|Ethiopians]] and [[Europeans]] ([[French people|French]] and [[Italians]]).<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Schraeder |first=Peter J. |date=1993 |title=Ethnic Politics in Djibouti: From 'Eye of the Hurricane' to 'Boiling Cauldron' |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/723496 |journal=African Affairs |volume=92 |issue=367 |pages=204 |issn=0001-9909}}</ref>
