I think Mogdishu was the cosmopolitan city in Somalia prior to the war.

I heard Cisman Mohamud settled that place first. They used to bring Sugar and flour to the locals from Arabia in exchange of Elephant and Tiger skin

Kismaayo was originally Baajuuni, MJ's came in the 1800's they also tried to take Marka at the time, but were defeated there

Tiger? U mean leapord or cheetah, tigers don't live in Africa
