Mogadishu fell under Zanzibar’s jurisdiction after Britain withdrew protection

Evidence

In the following year the situation changed radically, and with the refusal of Owen’s government to ratify his protectorate, British intervention disappeared as suddenly and almost as inexplicably as it had come. The rebellious towns of East Africa were now left to face their Omani overlords alone. In 1828, Mogadishu was bombarded and compelled to capitulate. But when, shortly after, the Muscat state was divided, Mogadishu and her sister ports of the southern, or ‘Benadir’, Somali coast passed under the jurisdiction of the Sultan of Zanzibar. — I.M.
