It says Mogadishu was founded by settlers in the 10-11th century. How does that make any sense when there are 13th century sources describing the citys inhabitants as being Somali? Did the Arab/Persians who supposedly built the city disappear that quickly?

I quickly went through it and I think its before islam cause it says the arabs were still pagans, whole story seems weird

They say Kilwa was founded in 400 AH by Zaydi Persians. They mention the cities of Mogadishu and Pate were founded 70 years prior. Where were these mythical founders by the 12th century?
