Zengisa Acra


Zengisa Acra, was a regional name which existed along the east of the Horn of Africa during the 1st millennium.
Ajan Coast was eventually superseded by the Sultanate of Mogadishu. The term Ajan is sometimes used interchangeably with Azania. However, Cyril Hromnik, has suggested Ajan comes from the Indian term Ajan Bar.
However, the overlapping analysis frequently places the core of Ajan Coast in the region of the plains beyond the promontory that follows the Horn's headland. The Ajan Coast was bordered to the north by Aromata, to the west by Rauso, to the south by various peoples including the Zanj and Tunni and to the east by the Indian Ocean. A notable city state of Ajan was Sarapion.
