This is all oral tradition. There’s no archeological evidence that shows the Ajuuran utilised the Shabelle and Jubba rivers.
When various local groups across a vast geographic expanse, all have the same story about a former dominant group, both written and oral, and this domination is corroborated by stone works littered across the region, we can safely accept it as evidence.
They were only used during the dry season by nomads as a water source.

Because who on earth wants to farm with no animals, that’s awful.
Are you claiming that there were no farms in the South at all during the Middle-Ages? How then did highly perishable goods such as fruits and vegetables end up in the markets of coastal cities in such high quantities?
Its far-fetched to claim they came from regions far beyond the Shabelle and Jubba rivers. The produce would have perished by the time a caravan train beyond the vicinity of those cities arrived.
If the Ajuuran had any agricultural base maybe it was from bay and bakool or imported from eastern ethiopia, where there isn’t any tsetse fly.
Well, my discussion with Midas was about Greater Somalia, so that still supports my carrying capacity point.
Why on earth would there be bantu slaves imported if there was no tsetse fly LOL. It’s connected from the Swahili coast to Juba river, and the shabelle river is a tributary to the juba river in high rainfall.
They were simply available, that’s why they were imported. It be like saying why did the Europeans take slaves to America if they could simply use animals lol come on man.
