Yaquub Sultanate The emergence of the Imamate of Yaaquub in Mogadishu is related to the tyrannical rule of the Aj,uran in the interior, and the attraction of the growing Mogadishu wealth as a consequence of its thriving trade controlled by the Muzzaffar dynasty which was allied to the A,juran in the interior. The Yaaquub is a lineage of the Ab,gal clan who itself is part of the wider Darandoole Mudulood group. The Darandoole Mudulood is a pastoral group that lived in Central Somalia, and throughout the centuries migrated Southwards. As a consequence of this southwards migration, the Darandoole Mudulood encroached slowly but steadily on Mogadishu city and came in conflict with the Muzzaffar dynasty. This dynasty in Mogadishu was itself incapable to withstand this migration and encroachment and opted for negotiation with the Imam of the Darandole. Cerulli has recorded traditional narrative of how the Darandole conquered Mogadishu against the Muzaffar dynasty: “In ancient times the Sirasi lived in Mogadiscio. The people called Halawani succeeded the Sirasi. The Mudaffar succeeded the Halawani. The Mudaffar came from the country of Yemen in Arabia. He had guns. He built the palace that is found under the Governor’s house. He was a friend of the Aguran. At that time the Mudaffar governed the coast; and the Aguran ruled in the woodland. “Later the Mudaffar had an interpreter who was called ‘Ismankäy Haggi ‘Ali. This ‘Ismankäy had the idea of letting the Darandollä enter the city. A message was sent to the imam Mahmud ‘Umar, who lived at Golol. The imam, guiding his warriors, came south and approached Mogadiscio. Then what did ‘Ismankäy do? He spoke with the Mudaffar: ‘By now the Darandollä are near Mogadiscio, let me be accompanied by some soldiers, and I shall go to them.’ ‘How do you want to do it?’ ‘I shall do it this way. I shall come to an agreement with the leaders and make them return to the places in the north.’ ‘So be it!’ said the Mudaffar. Then ‘Ismänkäy took some soldiers with him, but without weapons: ‘Leave your weapons! We go out to conclude an agreement, not really for war.’ They put down the weaons. They went into the woodland. When they had gone into the woodland, the Darandollä came out and took all the soldiers prisoner. Then they continued the raid and entered Mogadiscio. The Mudaffar was caputred and they wanted to kill him. But he, looking at the people who had come close to him, saw among them ‘Ismankäy Haggi Ali. ‘Stop!’ he said then. ‘Before you kill me, I want to speak. O ‘Ismankäy, you are good for nothing, you are capable of nothing, you will not pass seven!’ he said. Thus was 248 ‘Ismankäy cursed. When the Mudaffar was killed, when seven days passed after his death, ‘Ismankäy died too. It happened exactly as he had been cursed." The Darandoolle have conquered Mogadishu city and killed the Muzzaffar governor sometime between 1590 and 1625. The approximate dates appear to be corroborated by a Portuguese document dated 1624 . After the Darandoolle Mudulood took control of the Mogadishu city in 1624, they quarrelled with the Ajuraan on the interior. ‘After entering Muqdisho, the Darandoolle quarrelled with the Ajuraan. They quarrelled over watering rights. The Ajuraan had decreed: ‘At the wells in our territory, the people known as Darandoolle and the other Hiraab cannot water their herds by day, but only at night’’…Then all the Darandoolle gathered in one place. The leaders decided to make war on the Ajuraan. They found the imam of the Aju,raan seated on a rock near a well called Ceel Cawl. They killed him with a sword. As they struck him with the sword, they split his body together with the rock on which he was seated. He died immediately and the Aj,uraan migrated out of the country.’ The Darandoolle became as such the first group to rebel against the tyranny of Ajuraan in the interior, and ever since this Aj,uraan defeat other groups would follow in the rebellion which would eventually bring down Aj,uraan rule of the inter-riverine region. After the defeat of the Ajuraan in the interior the Darandoolle Mudulood established themselves around Mogadishu and Shabelle river valley, in which Wacdaan inhabited the environs of Afgoye and Mogadishu, Hiilebi in Lower Shabelle, Moobleen went to the region now known as Middle Shabelle, while the A,bgaal established themselves in and around Mogadishu city. By about 1700 the entire political structure of Mogadishu city was altered with the ascendancy of a new line of A,bgal Yaaquub imams who established themselves in Shangaani quarter (the northern moiety of Mogadishu city). The Yaaquub imam’s powerbase remained among the people of the interior, while members of the Imam’s Yaaquub lineage intermarried with the BaFadel and Abdi Semen, two famed merchants families of Yemeni origins. The Yaaquub Imam collected the port tariffs of the city, and emerged as the authority of Mogadishu city, despite its division into two moieties. The Yaaquub imamate would survive until the closing of the 19th century and was a force to reckon with when Zanzibari influence slowly expanded throughout the Banadir region. http://operationoverload.wordpress.com/2009/page/5/ Author, Cerulli

walahi you aint making sense Unuka captured Banaadir from the A,juuraan empire where the hell was the cadcad's markaa? we are talking about the 16th century iyo kahor since you are madax adeeg awoowgiisa i have sources to back my statement. Inyar ii sug bal aan ku kala baxno

LOOOOOOOOOL first of all there is only two predominantly cadcad areas in Mogadishu always been ninkii yaqaan ba yaqaan ; Shingaani and Xamarweyne the rest was always ours unuka taas maanta in cid laga wareysta uma baahna. As for reer Ceelbuur i gave them dayniile 150 yrs ago. hade abwaan are like the reer gedo of kismaayo oo kale maxaad ka rabtaa? Sxb i told you the day a unuka man can be the mayor of Boosaaso or Kismaayo that day you guys will be the mayor of xamar.

^^ WOOOOW the irony D-block has houses in banaadir therefore they should be the mayor of xamar right,sax yet you wanna sideline people from my clan and MMA'S clan and other clans in jubbaland who actually are the locals in jubbaland who has lived there for hundreds of years. we are talking about dadka magaalada iska leh, Abwaan's folks Hiiraabnimo ay ku heleen ileen waa tol'ee The day an unuka man can be the mayor of kismaayo that day a OG will be the mayor of Banaadir.Marka Zack its upto you

The mayorss of 16 out of 17 districts plus the governor in Xamar are from the same qabiil. The locals have been sidelined. what now? Mogadishu has always been an unuka/cadcad city are you going to compare xamar with jubboyinka the only reason why xamar was diverse at all is the fact that it is the capital of the nation can we say the same for jubboyinka horta? If you want to get a piece of xamar then the whole somalia will belong to everyone, say NO to ''what is mine is mine and what is yours is mine' ma diideen? change the focking capital markaas

mala faaya widaay Al

I aint playing policeman just stating the reality on the ground. aflagaadada is this USC BS war jubboyinka aint puntland with one clan being the natives, as for banaadir unuka,beesha kuwait and cadcad kaliya ba real natives ah, and i think cadcad should get its xaq.

what are you on about aflagaado lee maa ka so hartey? All i am saying is clan states aint gonna work in the south meesha ma puntland baad uu heysataa

Jacpher, want to change the subject huh? i have always said will say when it comes to banaadir cadcad should get more representage in maamulka gobolka banaadir they got one guddomiye right now, guddomiyaha shingaani. Shabellada hoose is run by its native and now maamulkas ciidamo kaso jeeda gobolkaas bey dhisanayaan oo la wareegta gobolka. when it comes to Shabellada dhexe, guddomiyaha is unuka, guddomiye ku xigeenka is camel lovers, the mayor of the capital city of shabellada dhexe is a Bantu somali.

somali government with assistance from Amisom captured the city waryaa xishood our soldiers are risking their life everyday for the nation and you are against giving them cred.

Jacpher stop the emotional rants, first of all aint nobody said there is no D-block in the jubbas, aint nobody mentioned Kenya/ethiopia. This jubbaland thing will be a dream as long as you guys sidelines natives such as D&M, H-block,Bantu,Biimaal,Tunni,Ga,rre and others. Marka sidelining these clans i mentioned miyeeynan ku tuseynin landgrabbing iney meesha ka socoto? Its absurd ninyahow and this is why clan states never will work in the south

Ciidamada dowladda Soomaaliya iyo AMISOM ayaa saaka la wareegay degmada Buurhakaba ee Gobolka Bay, kadib markii maalmihii u dambeeyay ay isu diyaarinayeen sidii ay u qabsan lahaayeen. Abaanduulaha Ciidamada xooga dalka Jen. C/kariin Yuusuf Aadan Dhega-badan aayaa sheegay in la wareegitaanka Buurhakaba ay muhiimad gaar ah ugu tahay isku xirka wadada Muqdisho iyo Baydhabo, isagoo tilmaamay in Al-Shabaab ka carareen deegaankaas. “Buurhakaba gacanta Ciidamada xooga dalka ayay soo gashay, kooxihii jid iyo jaha-diidka waa ka carareen, waa meel muhiim ah, ujeedada ay leedahay waa saldhiga inay tahay marin muhiim ah, waxaan u aragnaa in halbowlihii iyo dhuuntii jid iyo jaha-diidka inuu saakay go’ay”ayuu yiri Jen. Dhegabadan. Ciidamada dowladda iyo kuwa AMISOM oo maalmo ka hor ka dhaqaaqay deegaanka Leego ayaa labadii maalmood ee u dambeeyay wadada hareeraheeda ku lugeynayay, iyadoo Shabaab ay isaga baxeen. Wasiirka Gaashaandhiga Soomaaliya C/xakiin Fiqi ayaa ugu hambalyeeay ciidamada xooga dalka iyo kuwa AMISOM guusha ay soo hoyeen, isagoo xusay in mudooyinkii u dambeeyay la qorsheynayay sidii la isugu furi lahaa jidka isku xira Muqdisho iyo Baydhabo, si loo fududeeyo isu socodka ganacsiga ee wadadaas. Mr Fiqi ayaa sheegay inay haatan u dhiman tahay inta u dhaxeysa Daynuunay iyo Buurhakaba, waxaana uu tilmaamay inay uga dhiman tahay wax ka yar 30-KM, sida uu hadalka u dhigay. Dhinaca kale Xoogaga Al-Shabaab ayaa xalay weerar ku qaaday deegaanka Daynuunay oo Baydhabo dhinaca bari kaga beegan 30-KM, iyadoo dagaalka uu ahaa mid xoogan oo la isu adeegsaday hubka noocyadiisa kala duwan.
