Ribta (Arabic: ريتبا) is a town in the northern Obock region of Djibouti. The area was marred by conflict in the 1990s.[1] A "Bonfire for Peace" was held in Ribta to destroy weapons used in conflict in the region.[2] Geologically a tectonic movement in the past has been referred to as the Ribta Formation.[3]
