Boqor Keenadiid had plans to invade Soqotra but decided last minute to head south and take Hobyo. Actually, I'm not quite sure the details, I think it was Hobyo that made him quit his plans for Socotra, it may have been the long-standing feud with his cousin that caused him to skip out on Yemen, but whatever it was, the reason was well within the scope of Somali military expansion. But, Somalis do not live there, I don't know where you get the idea.
