The Outpost at Khor Angar - 80 centime
The historical focus of the regular issue is the logistical expansion and security mapping of the colony's northern maritime borders. This stamp catalogs the establishment of the remote administrative and military station titled "Poste de Khor-Angar", situated along the strategic Bab-el-Mandeb strait at the mouth of the Red Sea. Historically, this northern coastal outpost served a vital geopolitical function, acting as a critical monitoring station for maritime traffic, tracking regional camel caravans, and securing territorial boundaries opposite the Arabian Peninsula. The processing of this definitive issue through the postal service formalizes the region's integration into the centralized administrative and defense networks of French Somaliland.
