this is the source https://archive.org/stream/historyanddescr03porygoog#page/n180/mode/2upWhat is this source? It sounds european. It also refers to “Arabians” on the coast and “black” idolaters in the interior. Could Arabians here mean the Muslim Somalis on the coast and black the “Oromo” who were largely Waaqists?
