<DIV>"As it happened," Lindsay, the Unit Historian, recalled, "we caught a
contrary wind, and ended up in the middle of some unpleasantness in Oltre
Giubba, instead of down at alex, where we had counted upon some weeks of
educational diversion, not to mention a more salubrious atmosphere" (p.

<P>Jubaland (Somali: <I>Jubbaland</I>) or Juba Valley (Somali: <I>Dooxada
Jubba</I>), formerly Trans-Juba (Italian: <SPAN lang=it xml:lang="it"><I>Oltre
Giuba</I></SPAN>), is the southwesternmost part of Somalia, on the far side of
the Juba River (thus "Trans"-Juba), bordering on Kenya.</P>
<P>It has a total area of 87,000 km² (33,000 sq mi), and in 1926 a population of
12,000. The main city is Kismayo, on the coast near the mouth of the Juba. The
area was mainly inhabited by the Ogaden nomads sub clan with other Dir and
Hawiye clans. </P>
<P>[...]</P>
<P>Jubaland was ruled by the Arabian Sultanate of Muscat (now in Oman) from 1836
until 1861 when the new Sultanate of Zanzibar was split from Muscat and Oman and
given control of its African territories .</P>
<P>The area was mainly inhabited by the Somali Ogaden nomad sub clan with other
Dir and Hawiye clans.</P>
<P>On 7 November 1890, Zanzibar became a British protectorate and, on 1 July
1895, ceded all its coastal possessions in continental East Africa to its
protector. Together with Zanzibar's other former possessions in the area,
Jubaland became part of the British colony of British East Africa (present day
Kenya). [...]</P>
