This might be the best proof that cadcads always ruled Xamar :drakekidding: :silanyolaugh:

Not really, Elephants were in the courts of the Kushites and Axumites, so it being used in Mogadishu would be another example of their importance in Northeast African history as a prestige animal.

Elephants in Northeast Africa may have been a grand status symbol of nobility, wealth, and military power. We can see this as far back as antiquity when Axum invaded Yemen with elephants or when Nubia pushed back the Caliphate during the early Muslim expansion. This tradition stays as recent as the 1800s when the Sudanese Funj nobility kept them as pets.View attachment 319640
Didn't axumites use war elephants such as King Kaleb's conquest of Yemen.

But Somali nomads usually ride camels for transportation and warfare. Can you show the full reference to the source? Which period was this? Was this during the rule of the Muzzafar or Fakhruddin dynasties?

Somalis didn't ride camels you nacas we rode horses.

And thus wasn't nomads this was Mogadishu, inhabited and ruled by Reer Magaal Somali. So naturally their animals would be different to the Geelgire
