Why do you think Battuta recorded this description of Mogadishu in his travels?

In Ibn e Batuta's time, Mogadishu was extremely prosperous.

Explanation:

Ibn e Batuta described Mogadishu as a large prosperous city and then went on to describe in great detail its governance and administration. It was a rather new development in Mogadishu which he failed to record as he found himself less in higher up circles than he would have wished.

Still Batuta saw Mogadishu at its very prosperous under the peaceful rule of their Sheikh in the 14th century.
