Somalis and the sea before the advent of European influence

[xirsi95]

This article is concerning Somali maritime trade,piracy, and sailing activities before the involvement of Europeans in our lands regardless of qabiil. The reason I post a lot about the oceans and Somalis is because a lot of my family are fishermen and I had a lot of Adheers and Apti's who were in the Somali navy and the Somali merchant marine before the collapse of the the state. Oh yea this article has some mistakes but it's a good read all in all. Enjoy walaala yal
