I want to know the answer to the following question:
New coins were a proclamation of independence by the Somali Muslim Ajuran Empire from whom?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The Somali Muslim Ajuran Empire, allied with the Ottomans, defied the Portuguese economic monopoly in the Indian Ocean by employing a new coinage which followed the Ottoman pattern, thus proclaiming an attitude of economic independence in regard to the Portuguese.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
