Foundation of Baardheere:
Las Khorey and Its Three Qalcads (Castles):
The town's name apparently means the wells with sticks in them and is a reference to one of its wells having date trees growing around it and when Revoil arrived, it had two neighbourhoods called 'Ugaaslaabe' and 'Garaad'.
The True Origin of Bosaso's Name (Bender Qasim):
The old town of Jubba (not settled today):
One interesting detail in this video is that the women of the town apparently all wore niqab.
The geography is interesting too- it speaks of a 'small Jubba', a 'big Jubba' and the river of 'Damdam'. It is not true that colonialists gave the name 'Jubba'.
