Benadir

Benadir

      traditional coastal region, southern Somalia, on the Horn of Africa. The name, from Persian bandar, “port,” refers to the voyages of Persian and Arab traders to eastern Africa across the Arabian Sea during the European Middle Ages. Benadir passed to the sultan of Zanzibar in 1871; it was leased by Italy in 1895 and thereafter shared the political fate of the remainder of Somalia (until World War II, Italian Somaliland). Largely agricultural, Benadir has an area of about 17,000 square miles (45,000 square km).
