Regarding the French Somali Coast and first issues: Obock was a colony while Djibouti was a protectorate. The two entities were formally fused in 1896 as the French Somali Coast, but both Djibouti and Obock stamps continued to be valid. The Obock post office closed in 1899. The 1902 pictorials were the first stamps printed for the Somali Coast.
