Action A of 301074 - More Mischief in East Africa for Ottoman EmpireDescription
Mirale Beque didn't return the following year, but he did return at the beginning of 1589 with a stronger force of galleys. Again he was warmly received by the Sultan of Mombasa who was under siege by the cannibal Zimba tribe. This time, however, the Portuguese had received word of his coming and were prepared for him. They trapped him in Mombasa harbor and allowed the Zimba to take the city as punishment for supporting the Turk. The Sultans of Malindi and Zanzibar were rewarded for their loyalty.Actions

Nuno da Cunha was determined to avenge the insult offered by Mombasa to the Portuguese. It simply would not do for a city like Mombasa to insult the Portuguese Crown and get away with it. He stormed the city on 17 November 1528 and started to razed its buildings before the Sheikh of Mombasa offered to swear allegiance to the Crown of Portugal if da Cunha would stop. The Sheikh paid his tribute, but his submission proved to be merely pro forma to get the Portuguese to stop their demolition.
