The origin of Jubba

The article states: "It begins at the border with Ethiopia where the Dawa and Gebele rivers meet."

In my atlas it looks that Dawa and Gebele (in my atlas named Genale) meets north of the border - that means inside Etiopia. But maybe my altas is not accurate on this point. Anyone who knows?

God's work?

"Here, at Goobweyn, a spectacular show of God's work, the red-river-waters and blue ocean waters are always at a separating stand. A clear, but never melting or fading line between the meeting of the two waters."

Not quite sure what exactly this sentence is trying to say; but the language is both florid and attributes the appearance of the river to a non-specific deity who large parts of the human race don't acknowledge. For these reasons I've removed it to the talk page, incase someone wants to work it back in with cleaned up language. Basically sounds like it's saying the Giuba river delta is rather pretty.

P.S. to the above anon, my atlas shows the Genale meeting the Dawa/Daua at the confluence of the Somali/Ethiopian/Kenyan borders, so I'd guess the article is correct on that point. Seek100 13:48, 25 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ajuuran is not the only hydraulic empire in Africa

In the history section, the Ajuran Empire is described as the only hydraulic civilisation in Africa but this is wrong. There was atleast one other hydraulic civilisation on the continent, that being Ancient Egypt. So we need to amend this part to say either say, it is one of only two (known) hydraulic civilisations in Africa, or we could say it is the only one in Sub Saharan Africa. I prefer the former option, personally. Gani94 (talk) 16:39, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
