one could argue that Oman wasn't the only Arab colonial empire, even in terms of the original sense: the 'colonia' forts established on the coast by maritime empires. The ottomans did this, having a colonial empire that stretched even towards Indonesia with their contacts with Aceh. One could also point to the Umayyads or Aghlabids as a colonial empire due to their maritime conquests in Spain, Sicily, and even southern Italy

just because the Portuguese blame all their defeats on "disease" doesn't mean it is true.

while Oman may not have "conquered" Africa in the manner of vast empires, their influence and contributions to the Swahili coast is rich. legacy of Omani arhcitecture, language, and customs can still be seen in these regions today. In Oman they speak Swahili to this day and we are proud of it.

Amazing watch as a history I really love this thanks

The historical account that attributes the decline of Portuguese presence in East Africa solely to disease is inaccurate. In reality, it was the Ajuuran Empire that played a significant role in combating the Portuguese. The Ajuuran actively engaged in battles against the Portuguese, who were not established rulers but rather pirates disrupting the Indian Ocean trade routes.

The Ajuuran Empire ruled regions including Sofala in Mozambique and, recognizing the threat posed by the Portuguese, sought to eliminate their interference. To strengthen their efforts, the Ajuuran invited the Omanis to join the fight against the Portuguese. They also shared their advanced shipbuilding technology and knowledge of navigating the monsoon seasons with the Omanis. This collaboration was instrumental in their combined success against the Portuguese, ensuring the continued dominance of the Ajuuran Empire in the region and gifted Mombasa to the Omanis as fellow Muslim nation with the same interest.

Could it be that the Sultan of Oman lives in Zanzibar now?

The fort was subject to an epic two-year siege from 1696 to 1698 by the Omani Arabs, led by Saif bin Sultan. The capture of the fort marked the end of Portuguese presence on the coast, although they briefly captured and re-occupied it between 1728 and 1729 with the help of the Swahili city-states

The Portuguese have been defeated by Somalis twice making somalis the first Africans to defeat a White Power
The Omani and Somalis captured Mombasa using their Navies
Somalia at that time was under the Ajuran Empire

The Portuguese dont like when they get defeated in battle and site disease as the main cause 😂

Ajuran Empire successfully resisted Oromo invasions from the west and fought against Portuguese incursions from the east with the Ottoman Empire in the 16th century🇸🇴 never heard of Oman entering Africa before 19-20th century but Saudi yes, but that was more than 1, 000 years ago is how Islam reached the Somali people 🤔

The Portuguese lost interest in East African ports such as Mombasa and Malindi. Mozambique was good enough for them to resupply their ships on their way to India. Besides, what profit did they achieve? They were interested in gold and silver which were minimal in EastAfrica (except Sofala where the Portuguese held for over400 years ).
