I find it a bit strange Iranian Kurds with no sea access would settle in Mogadishu.
Maybe they road to the sea? Maybe Kurds had access to the sea at this time?

There is that tribe shaashi from Iran (the village called shaash )
@KowDheh arabs settled actually in many places in the somali penisula, they came for a better life. They contributed but they didn't 'create' the city. They only settled after it became a hub, economic migrants.

I also read about some arab sources about their migration, funnily enough they came not only from yemen but even from UAE, Saudi etc.

Not only xamar but zeila, berbera even inland had arab traders. A lot of the swahili people also claim Persia particularly Shiraz.
Have you seen this documentary? Watch it if you get the time not really relevant to somalia per se but interesting nonetheless.
The people in the documentary in lamu are bajuni (and probably some others).
Btw the bantu population is also heavily mixed with people with the Middle East but they don't assert this as much in somalia. I have a theory but......
That's disgusting. I can't even imagine living in a society where FGM is normal. Right at this moment I remember when I first figured out FGM existed, damn..Kurds practice FGM.
I think we taught them that, no one else in the area does that.
I guessed as much (that they were Baajun) because we call Lamu Laamo, and Kismaayo/Waamo but they pronounce with it a U.
I'll watch it later.
What's your theory? I'm all dhego.
