Talk:Mareeg

Establishment
According to the Somali Studies stalwart Lee V. Cassanelli, Mareeg, Hobyo and Bosaso, were "established as coastal outposts of various sultanates which emerged among Somali pastoralists between the fifteenth and nineteenth centuries". Similarly, Kismayo (which was "originally a small fishing village") became "a major center of livestock trade after Harti pastoralists settled in its hinterland in the later nineteenth century".
