These 2 texts are written by :
1st : A individual that has visited the city himself so is an direct eyewitness.
2nd : a sociologist/anthropologist that is literally discussing the different types of black people in the HOA clearly stating that Mogadishu is a somali city

No arab scholar ever said that Mogadishu was founded by arabs or even indicated towards that. No arab scholar that visited Mogadishu from the 10th - 16th century ever said such a thing and if it was true these arab scholars who visited Mogadishu wouldβve surely mentioned it.

Think about this, if Mogadishu was founded by arabs then why didnβt any arab or muslim scholar that wrote about Mogadishu from the 10th - 16th century ever say it ? Why are the only people who r suggesting it europeans ? Why didnβt the arabs themselves say it ?

The reason why is simple, no arab founded the city
Although Mogadishu is now 4 the most part an unimportant city in world affairs and has become damaged because of war it was from the 10th to 16th century a major player in world affairs and traded all over the indian ocean

The history of Mogadishu is one of regional dominance and global trade it was called the biggest/wealthiest and most powerful city in east africa by literally every traveler from china to portugal. Its status as the regional powerhouse was unquestioned until the 1600s.

There wasnβt a single european city or municipality that was doing what Mogadishu was doing in terms of trade from the 10th to the 1500s century! Somali history is one π engagement and reaching out to others but colonial scholars tried to reduce it 2 being mere camelherders

Another example is the portuguese not being able 2 conquer Mogadishu after a dozen attempts. And the portuguese losing a big war vs somalis in the north.
this shows that somalis were unimpressed by the Portuguese and were seemingly perfectly capable of dealing with them.

Somalis must disregard everything written by european scholars on east africa. Its all based on a colonial governorβs desire/interpretation in/of East Africa.
Somalis should establish a East Africa history institution that promotes the correct history of east africa
