We honestly don't know much about the ajuraan other than what has been preserved through oral stories. Much of the wells, farm lands and the irrigation canals are all attributed to the ajuraan. The ajuraan are the founders of merka although it's been said that some somalis use to live on that coast prior to the ajuraan they seem to have had a small settlement.
Archaeological work in southern somalia hasn't been done properly hence why we can't say much about what the ajuraan built in the south. Although there is according to oral tradition a number of places both in the interior and on the coast that's been said to contain structures built by the ajuraan. Here is some peculiar structures from southern somalia believed to have been build when the ajuraan were the rulers of the south.

There is a tradition when there is ruins of an ancient place or a well that nobody knowns who build, they say "jin iso Ajuraan baa dhisay" the issue is did the Ajuran call themselves Ajuran? Much like Byzantine did not call themselves Byzantine. So it's likely that the minted coins on the Authority of Imams and Sultans and built mosques by their shaykh's without calling themselves Ajuran. The same goes for the Muzafari dynasty.
@Garaad diinle Can you share the source of Merca's foundingWe honestly don't know much about the ajuraan other than what has been preserved through oral stories.

According to local tradition the ajuraan are said to have ruled merca for 15 generation until the arrival of the Portuguese in the 16th century. 15 generation corresponds to circa 500 years, one generation being 30-33 years so we're talking about around the 10th century.
This text is about barawe. Here is the part of the text that's about the date of when barawe is said to have been established, that is 900 ad.The date of this incident

I remember reading about the ajuraan claiming to have come from djibouti and made their way to hararghe. Afterward they travelled south to southern somali and fought the speakers of af maay defeating them and their leader. They then went all the way to the coast and established merca that became their capital for a while. It's not only the ajuraan who claim to have come from djibouti, surprisingly a number of southern somalis also claim that they originate from djibouti.

Everything unuka leh
Did you hear about the story of sab coming from dijibouti too
Southern somalis and their Ancestral lands dijibouti
No they didn't rule, they did live there and they are the ajurans that are part of moorsho confederacy and reer sheybow of bandhawow confederacy
Why not post the full source or does it not fit with your agenda?
Here it says the descendants of Imaam 'Umar from Banu Abbaas are Gaameedle so it's got nothing to do with ajuran gareen.
Gaameedle claim to have built mungiya prior to migrating to marka and they say that they used the title ajuran and the name gaameedle came about later on. As you see there's no mention of hawiye here
Digil is also mentioned to be buried in djibouti, his lineage goes Digil Diinsame Afdaan Sab
