1300s account of Somalia

Greeting a guest with your viziers isn’t a yemeni thing. He just said they did the same thing in Yemen. He didn’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.
