@afrucanun If Kismayo was truly a flourishing medieval Swahili city, you wouldn't need to post irrelevant pictures and label them 'Chisimaio during the medieval era'. Instead, you'd be able to bring forward actual historical sources proving it even existed as a town or village before 1860
@afrucanun The medieval era, lasted for roughly 1,000 years, spanning from the 5th century to the late 15th century. The camera was invented in late 1820s. How is it possible that we have photography of kismayo during the medieval period?

@_Gerenuk I’m not looking down on my ancestral land, sxb. I’m deeply attached to it and understand exactly why my awooweyaal chose it. I’m simply pointing out the geographical fact that areas with more water resources tend to be more densely populated than arid or semi-arid regions.
@_Gerenuk Anyway the pattern is clear in all Africa and even in the technologicaly more advanced other parts of the world, people tend to cluster more in fertile zones
@_Gerenuk I meant surface water. Underground water needs energy and resources to extract it and even then its not ready for use untill purified.
