Main reason for the dispersal of the coastal Bantus from Shungwaya

The main reason for the dispersal of the coastal Bantus from Shungwaya was likely a combination of factors, including population pressure, competition for resources, and external threats such as raids and invasions. As the population of Shungwaya grew, there would have been increased pressure on the available land and resources, leading some groups to migrate in search of new opportunities. Additionally, conflicts with neighboring groups or external threats from Arab traders or other groups may have also played a role in prompting the dispersal of the coastal Bantus from Shungwaya.
