Oromo lost all their Somaliland territory north of the Juba by 1700

Evidence

In the following decades the Rahanweyn continued their pressure and, probably about the end of the seventeenth century, succeeded after hard fighting in driving the remaining Galla from their stronghold at Bur Hacaba. These Galla withdrew westwards, eventually crossing the Juba and moving on to its right bank. This, of course, increased the pressure upon the Zanj whose traditional capital, Shungwaya, was at this time in the Juba region. Thus by the turn of the century, the Oromo, whose strength must have been very greatly reduced by their massive drive into Abyssinia, had lost to the Somali all their former territory in Somaliland to the north of the Juba River. — I.M.
