Addressing the claims of
@rhaplord (Isaac Samuel) and his lies on the history of South Somalia.

🧵 Medieval description of the inhabitants and the geography of South Somalia. Image
Image Isaac Samuel's claims are that Muqdisho, Barawe and Merca are Swahilli (Bantu) cities.

The city Deire

The port of Deire was a promontory located somewhere across the Bab al-Mandab near the 7 brother islands.

This port would be the first port to be located on this strategic choke point and be successful in handling trade between the Red Sea and the gulf of Aden. Image The first mention of the city of Deire comes from Strabos accounts. It is described as being near 6 islands opposite Arabia.

Strabo describes the people who live in Deire as Ichthyophagy or fish eaters. Past Deire was the Cinnamon country, which was Somalia. Image
