Ajuuraan is a Sunni Somali clerical imamate state located in the Horn of Africa and Northern Swahili Coast regions of the African continent; emerging during the 'The Mongol Empire' era. At the starting year of 1220, the country surrounds fellow Sunni nation Mogadishu from all sides pinning it to the Coast of Pepper, and Sunni Pate in the southwest.

In the year 1730, Ajuuraan's remaining territory will be replaced with Sunni Geledi.

    Maritime Enterprise Since ancient times our ancestors were an important link in the Horn of Africa connecting the commerce of the region with the rest of the world.
