They controlled the water. They controlled the coast. 🌊
Siyaro wasn’t just a village — it was a fortified port, a watering point, and a revenue checkpoint on the Subeer Awal coast of Somaliland.
The Makahil (Ishaaq Sa’ad Muuse) held it. Ships stopped because they had to. Water was scarce. Access was controlled. Revenue was collected.
Burton (1856) documented it. The structures were real. The authority was real.
This is the Subeer Awal commercial empire — written in stone, mud, and trade routes.
