In 1890 the so called Gosha Revolt began and was led by Nassib Bunto. The revolt started in the lower Shabelle as a struggle against slavery. Bunto recruited the majority of his men from freed slaves who deserted their Italian landlords. He established his center in the Gosha region (now part of lower shabelle) and he began a resistance. His region became a safe haven for escaped slaves where they established farming, cattle herding, training in handicrafts, and manufacturing tools and weapons. These newly freed men resisted the Italian landlords and colonizers. The Gosha Revolt kept the Italians from taking the area and pushing inwards for decades, until its defeat in 1907.

Yea he had major Somali enemies who wanted to keep bantu's down and under enslavementNasiib Bantu was a powerful Sultan of the Gosha but unfortunately, I do not know much about their revolt. What I do know is that one of the main enemies were the Somalis.
Most of their contributions in Somalia are related to religion. They created many if not all of the more severe animist elements of Suufism, especially in places in the Jubba, Shabelle, and Hiiraan regions where Bantus form a percentage near or above 20% of the population. I can tell you some of the more bizarre rituals they helped introduce, prepare for shock and awe. The most venerated Suufi sheikh in my hometown came directly from Uganda from tales I heard.
the runaway slaves were abdihutu's people
