The battle of Barawa! The Portuguese were humiliated and faced stiff resistance from the local population.

[HabarSteven12]

The Portuguese were a global maritime superpower in the 15th and early 16th centuries. They were one of the strongest naval forces and equipped with advanced technology at the time. The Portuguese attempted to exert control, influence, and commercial power along the Indian Ocean trade routes.

The battle of Barawa occurred in 1506. The Portuguese had their eyes on the wealthy and historic port city, situated strategically on the Indian Ocean. After a long period of intense fighting, the Portuguese soldiers sacked and burned the city. The Portuguese failed to permanently occupy and control the strategic town after facing fierce resistance from the Barawani people.

Tristão da Cunha was injured in the battle and escaped to Socotra. The Barawani people humiliated the Portuguese. The city of Barawa quickly recovered, and the city was rebuilt.

@Banadiri Warrior I would appreciate your insight on the Battle of Barawa. Did the elders or sheikhs of Barawa write anything about the Portuguese naval expedition in Barawa?

History of murusade fighting portugese and arabs in baraawe

The passage doesn't show Reer Murusade fighting the Portuguese in Barawa. It only shows the Zanzibarite Arabs, along with their tunni allies, fighting the Hawiye community in the hinterland. Nevertheless, can you provide the full source of the passage?

It’s interesting the French reported about this incident.

I’m a francophone kkk so I understand but I don’t get the Zanzibari Arabs made an alliance with local somali clans against other somali clans since they aren’t even native themselves…

Lol your one heck of a liar, the Portuguese got the city looted everything and burned it to the ground while the inhabitants were looking from afar of their city getting burned. He didnt go to socotra but went Straight to Mogadishu next but got scared to fight them since it looked like they were disadvantaged. The commander wanted to fight but his soilders stopped him

Murusade has been in the Baraawe region for over 6 centuries. Our elders are on youtube stating this and in this source you can see we originally settled in Baraawe zone, this was even before the Geledi Sultanate existed as the full details of this text shows how we first fought Gallas from Jubaland on our southern border of Baraawe then Mudulood then some moved to Afgooye. Since Murusade is a fighting clan like every lamagoodle with a history of repelling its enemies who trespass its territory be it somalis or Italians who attacked several clans in Lafole which was right next to our deegaan, it can be inferred we had an infantry in the Baraawe area.

Wacdaan , murusade or abgaal were far from banaadir during that era

The fact that it says zanzibarite Arabs should be enough to hint how dodgy the source is, none of the Arab tribes in Barawa lived in Zanzibar before coming to barawa

Wrong! Garfuuls use to work in the courts, that's why Murusade was an early inhabitant in Xamar and the South. Know this, mahmaha jirtay gar qaadka gareen ajurana leh, gar naqsi garfuul karanla leh!

What's that got to do with banaadir if they were garfuuls, that's about ajuran gareen ruling the interior they never ruled the coast. The earliest murusades are reer Maxamud Jibril in xamarweyne they're not early at all, they came from the interior

Ajuuraan governed the entire Somali coast facing the Indian Ocean from the 13th century onwards. Murusade were present on the Banaadir coast for 600+ years.

No evidence for Ajuran gareen controlling banaadir coast, show abtirsi of murusade banadiris that goes back 600 years then

There's literally citadels, forts and aqueducts all over Koonfurta from the Ajuuran Empire.
