Dini Ahmed Abou Baker (Diny Ahmed Aboubekr, or Dini Ahmad Dini[1]) was the main Afar signatory[2] of the March 1862 treaty that sold the western coast of Bab-el-Mandeb between Ras Ali and Doumeira to France for 10,000 thalers. He was the son of "sultan" Mohamed Hammed. According to Ahmed Dini, he is actually "sultan" of Rehayto under the name of Dini Mohamed Bourhan.[3] He was one of Abubakr Pasha's nephews and in 1839, he was responsible for accompanying Rochet D'Hericourt through Afar territories. In 1842, he visited Paris, in the name of sultans of Tadjourah and Raheita, ceding territory from Ras Doumeira to Goubet El-Kharrab.[4]
