http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QandalaQandala, like many other Somali ports on the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean, may have been frequented by Phoenicians, Egyptians, Persians, Yemenis, Greeks and Roman sailors. A diary dated to 50 CE contains a map of all the ports and their importance. It indicates that Qandala was a trade centre for cinnamon and spices.
This trade seems to be evidence that the people were seafarers who travelled to the Far East, as far as present-day India and China. It is not known why the first inhabitants settled at Qandala's shores but the likely explanation is trade. Apart from gums, ivory, animal skins and incense, the rise of the coastal trading post was due to the commercial opportunities the port generated.
Ancient migration routes joined Gulf countries to Qandala. Archaeological evidence suggests that Qandala may have been an important trading centre in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, participating in East Africa's trade with the Middle East and Asia.
Qandala City's early name was "Gacanka Hodonka", which means Gulf Of Prosperity referring to the Qandala community and to the successful traders of East Africa.

Why do you feel the need to bring clan hatred into this? Can't the picture simply be a beautiful representation Somali history? No qabil is better then an other. And it's those ideologies that are the reason many historical structures in Somalia are now destroyed beacuse there is no one to preserve them.indeed as superior clan in somaliawe need to preserve our history long live majeertenia
