Berbera : This is another country between the countries of the Abyssinians, the Zanj, and the Yemen, on the coast of the Yemen and Sea of the Zanj . Its people are very Sudanese ( very dark ) , and they have a language that no one else understands. They are Bedouins who make their living by hunting animals. In their country there are strange beasts that are not found in any other country, including the giraffe, the tiger, the rhinoceros, the leopard, the elephant, and others. That, and perhaps amber was found on their coasts....... I mentioned that and their Sunnah regarding it in Al-Zayla.
Al-Hasan bin Ahmed bin Yaqoub Al-Hamdani mentioned Al-Yemeni mentioned , and he said: " Among the islands that border the coast of Yemen is the island of Berbera ......" .
The country of these people is called the coasts of Berbera.
