History
Osman Ahmed is considered less illustrious than his predecessors,[1] and Gobroon power considerable weakened under his rule. He was the son of Sultan Ahmed Yusuf and succeeded his father after his death. He signed treaties to the Italians for protectorate in 1908 for his possession of territories he controlled like Jubbaland, Bakool, Bay, Lower Shebelle and Benadir. After his death in 1910, the Kingdom ended.

gollark: `func:address():address()` won't work because `func:address()` returns a string.
gollark: Depends how flexible lua is with colon syntax.
gollark: It's an entirely unimportant thing, potatOS just lets you do `func:address()` for some reason.
gollark: Hmm, `function`s `tostring` differently to in CCEmuX, that might break that one thing.
