The Portuguese colonial presence in East Africa served two primary purposes: the extraction of tribute from coastal polities and the control of trade within the Indian Ocean through piracy.
However, Portuguese naval vessels were very disruptive to commerce within the western Indian Ocean and were able to demand high tariffs on items transported through the sea due to their strategic control of ports and shipping lanes.

The Church, by fraud and fear, brought the secular rulers under her ignominious domination, and forced them by her threats, as we have seen proved and admitted, to make and enforce these infernal enactments and destructions.
The Church was then itself a secular ruler over vast territories, the stolen "Patrimony of Peter" or States of the Church; and for those territories their Royal-Holinesses set the example of murder and burning of their own heretics.

Many individuals, from military leaders to courtiers, were on the alert to uncover secret information about their countrymen for their rulers, who rewarded them for this intelligence with office, prestige, authority, and financial windfalls.

In late October 1890, a British force led by Admiral Fremantle assaulted and subdued the East African town of Witu, the mainland capital of the Nabahani rulers of Pate; five years later, the entire region and the adjacent coastal islands came under British administration.

Indeed it might even be that the city states would swear allegiance to an outside suzerain authority as they did to the ancient rulers of Yemen, to the Imam of Oman, to the Caliph of all-Islam, to the Portuguese rulers, or to the British crown.
It was also not unusual for the rulers of different city states to be inter-related, as it happened in the case of Hassan bin Ali and his six sons from Shiraz who together formed a loose sort of empire known as the Daulat-e-Zinj or the Zenj Empire.
How much influence the coastal states had with the interior of Africa depended upon varying factors, such as the power and political acumen of rulers, or the love of adventure and boldness of traders and pioneers enjoying the protection of such rulers.

Only two hours by ferryboat from Lamu, totally unaffected by tourism and rarely visited, Pate island has some of the most impressive ruins anywhere on the coast and a clutch of old Swahili settlements which, at different times, have been as important as Lamu or more so.

The latter's most remembered ruler is one Muhammad bin Abdulrahman, nicknamed "Mkame Ndume", a title, which I believe, is wrongly translated "Milker of Men", implying his alleged reputation of giving impossible commands.
It could possibly as well have been derived from the word "Makamo wa Madume", which could have been calculated to mean: "Supervisor of Males", or "Ruler of Men", more or less equivalent to the Kiganda title for the Kabaka, "Sebasaja", meaning "Above Men", a loose substitute for His Highness, or His Majesty.
