Gedi ruins a possible somali colony?

[Midas]

This is something I've been wondering about after I found about sofala and thought to myself it sounded very much like a somali word and then it turned out it was a colony establishes by somalis in Mozambique. Everybody hear i think knows about how somalis were heavily involved with the swahili towns fighting and trading with them. The gedi ruins are an abandoned swahili stone town and the only people who live in the area are apparently Mijikenda people. This town is apparently also really old 11/12th century. They seem to have no clue who actually inhabited it. But it seems obvious to me the name is gedi is a somali one and a very traditional one at that. Why has nobody made this obvious connection and does anybody know more about this? @Shimbiris @NidarNidar @Emir of Zayla @The alchemist
