Dont forget xaafun, although connected to the land slightly. This was italian colonisers first capital of somalia.

afun has been identified as the ancient trading port of Opone, which was described in the 1st century CE Greek travelogue the Periplus of the Erythraean Sea. Merchants from as far afield as Indonesia and Malaysia passed through the settlement. By the 50 CE, the area was well known as a center for the cinnamon trade, along with the barter of cloves and other spices, ivory, exotic animal hides, and incense. It also traded in tortoise-shells.[1]

During the early modern period, Hafun was a part of the Majeerteen Sultanate's realm.

In 1930, an Italian firm invested capital to exploit salt deposits in Hafun and Hurdiyo. By 1933-34, the Hafun salt works were producing more than 200,000 metric tons of salt, most of which was exported to the Far East.[2]

Following independence in 1960, the town was made the center of the official Hafun District.

Good information Somaliman%. An ancient port city, salt resources, and capital city of Hafun district. Hopefully its extended entrance into see will be developed with a modern port and paved the roads to the rest of Bari region.
