NO it doesn't. If it was truely in native languages no arabic no english no french names whatsoever. North africa would have a language written in berber. Languages in west africa would be what they were written in 400-500 yrs that is if they are oral societies.

CUSMAANIYA would cover majeerteniya Laughing

First of all, there is no such thing as Majerteenia, just like there is no Ogadenia...and second of all, arabic is beter than Berber. If it were up to me, the entire world would be speaking Arabic.
