Draft:History of Bosaso
I created this WP:Draft for both of you, @Muscab30 and @Dolf133, considering your arguments. Please clarify it, and once you're done, I'll move it up to the main space. QalasQalas (talk) 12:10, 23 January 2024 (UTC)


 * Thank you Editor, @QalasQalas for your. My argument is that Bosaso before colonial was part of Majeerteen Sultanateand later during colonial Period its was the part of Majeerteenia region which was one of the 8 Administrative regions of Italian Somaliland. In post independence 1970s Majeerteeni region splited two Bari and Nugaal region. But, my friends argument is telling that the Bosaso never be part of Majerteen Sultanate and it was separate part.

 * Formerly known as Bandar Qasim, Bosaso's population is estimated at about 700,000 residents. It is the third largest city in the country after Mogadishu and Hargeisa. While Bosaso is a melting pot, with residents hailing from all the major clans of Somalia, most of its population is from the Harti confederation of Darod sub-clans.
 * Bosaso was previously known as Bandar Qasim, a name derived from a Somali trader of the same name who is said to have first settled in the area during the 14th centurysub-clans. . It is believed that Qasim's favourite camel was called Boosaas, from which derived the current name of the town. The town was thus first called Bandar Qassim after its founder ("Qasim's town"), then later dubbed Bosaso after its founder's trusted camel. This story is, however, purely speculative. Historically, Bosaso has been a Harti Darod stronghold, and evolved as a coastal outpost of their Sultanates.
 * Near Bosaso, at the end of the Baladi valley, lies a 2 km to 3 km long earthwork. Local tradition recounts that the massive embankment marks the grave of a community matriarch. It is the largest such structure in the wider Horn region.
 * For centuries the city was among the areas ruled by the Majeerteen Sultanate Later forming a part of Italian Somaliland.
 * In the mid-17th to early 20th centuries, the city was among the areas ruled by the Majeerteen Sultanate. It later formed a part of Italian Somaliland. The town would eventually be administered through the official Majeerteenia region during colonialperiod and Bari region in the post-independence period
 * The port of Bosaso lies in the narrow coastal strip that runs alongside the Red Sea, known in Somali as guban (burnt). Hot and humid for most of the year, temperatures in Bosaso are routinely over 40 degrees Celsius, especially during the xagaa (summer) from June to August, when a persistent dry wind blows from the interior. This time of year is also a lean one for the port due to the dependence on non-containerized traffic, especially dhows (traditional sailing vessels) from South Asia. These vessels make more limited runs across the Indian Ocean due to rough winds and high swells caused by the south-west monsoon (roughly from July to September).
