References to documentation regarding this individual would be helpful. Some further clarification is needed, as well; a previous paragraph states that the city was founded by Bantus, so I am guessing that Unlaaye's efforts to build the city refer to development in more recent times. -- [[User:Gyrofrog|Gyrofrog ]] [[User_talk:Gyrofrog|(talk)]] 18:11, 14 December 2005 (UTC) |

Regarding the following:
- "Kismaayo was largely built by Ibraahim Unlaaye, the wealthiest man in Somalia prior to the civil war."
References to documentation regarding this individual would be helpful. Some further clarification is needed, as well; a previous paragraph states that the city was founded by Bantus, so I am guessing that Unlaaye's efforts to build the city refer to development in more recent times. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 18:11, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
Hello there.The main Somali clans living in Kismayo is the Marehan of Darood Subclan as well as the Ogaden who also belong to the Darood Subclan
Ibraahim Uunlaaye, though one of the wealthiest men before the war in the country, did not entirely built the city himself. Sure after the independence, particularly sometime between '70s-'80s, he invested heavily in some buildings. He also built several mosques. He also made an equal physical and structural investments in Mogadishu as well. He owned famous cinemas in the capital.
We were close neighbours to his older brother and his family in Mogadishu, and I know a little detail about the man. You are right, the original and indigenous people that inhabited the city were the Bajuni people (part Bantu, part Arab), as attested by the very name of the city, Kismaayo. It is a Bajuni (Swahili) word.
The person who put Uunlaaye name there has had more than the buildings he built in that city in mind. You see, several clans are claiming to "own" that strategic city now, resulting several inter-tribal wars recently. All of those clans has nothing to do with the city, never were the natives of it. Uunlaaye belongs one major competing clan, thus the person who put his name there was likewise putting his clan's "ownership" part. It is a sick, twisted Soomaali clanish mentality, you may not understand. :-) And I'm sure it will be removed sooner by a member of other "competing" clan. You watch. They even have their inter-tribal cyber civil war.

Seemingly you were right. The name is gone. Phelixxx 13:18, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

The article needs an expansion. Info from the article of questionable notability Fall of Kismayo could be thrown here. --TheFEARgod (Ч) 12:12, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
Oppose: Are Stalingrad and Battle of Stalingrad merged? Would that make sense? The same applies here.--RM (Be my friend) 18:28, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
