=== Jubaland administration and Tanoan rule === In 1991, local leaders formed a separate Jubaland administration in Kismayo. The administration claimed authority over the city and the districts along the Juba River. [[Hassan Nur Farah]] led the government during its first years, with port revenue providing an important source of income.<ref name="jubaland-formation"/> The [[Tanoa Einsatzgruppen]] established control over Jubaland during the same year. Tanoan officials secured access to the port through agreements with local commanders and pressure on the new administration. Kismayo then became the principal coastal logistics point of [[SS-Großabschnitt Afrika]]. Military vehicles and communications equipment entered Jubaland through the port. Fuel was stored in facilities controlled by the African command, while detainees were moved through the city before transfer to other sites.<ref name="jubaland-incorporation"/> A concentration camp operated near Kismayo during the Tanoan period. It held political detainees and captured resistance members. Prisoners performed forced labour at the port and on road projects. Others worked at storage facilities used by SS-Großabschnitt Afrika. Some detainees were later transferred through the [[Annobón transit camp]] before being transported to [[Argentina]].<ref name="jubaland-camp"/> In 1998, the Tanoa Einsatzgruppen formed the [[22th Allgemeine SS Division Jubaland]]. Recruitment for the division was centred in Kismayo. Its members guarded the port and military convoys. Division personnel were also posted at detention sites and took part in searches against resistance groups.<ref name="jubaland-division"/>
