As heard by us
A clear look at Kilwa's move from Portuguese damage to an uneasy Omani capture.
The episode traces Kilwa through a rough political turn: Portuguese violence, ruin, a failed recovery, and then the arrival of Omani forces. It works because it treats the moment as politics first, not as simple rescue or conquest. The reactions are mixed, which helps.
Why you'd press play
You want the politics behind Kilwa's handoff from Portuguese rule to Omani control on the Swahili coast.
