1300s account of Somalia

Greeting a guest with your viziers isnโ€™t a yemeni thing. He just said they did the same thing in Yemen. He didnโ€™t mention any ajnabis but fellow travelers. The people he mentions are somalis. But yes there were ajnabis obviously, just like any other trade route stop.

The Qadi was Egyptian; Ibn Burhan Al-Misri.

The Sultan was clearly Somali though.
