Hawiye settlers conquered Mogadishu and ended its Muzaffar dynasty

Evidence

The true conquerors of the ancient city were those new Hawiye Somali settlers who defeated the Ajuran and brought the downfall of the Muzaffar dynasty in the early seventeenth century. By this time Mogadishu had split into two rival quarters, Hamarweyn, and Shangani in which the new invaders were established. — I.M. Lewis, I. M. Lewis, A Modern History of the Somali_ Nation…, 129

• XREF: Mogadishu’s split into Hamarweyn and Shangani persists into the modern period Lewis covers later; useful for the arc from precolonial to contemporary factionalism.
