The king was Somali, you should've mentioned that man, Adal was a Somali sultanate. The majority of the soldiers were composed Somalis. I'm very disappointed with this video.
@@Imperator04 he was a general of the famous Walashma sultans whose origin as they themselves wrote, was in zeila and from aw barkhadle (yusuf al kownayn), he was a general of this famous Somali walashma Royal family which ruled adal sultanate and ifat sultanate, also Ahmed gurey was succeeded as general of the adal armies, by his nephew, the man and ruler who built the harar jugol wall, nur ibn mujahid al dhuhi suha, who also married the wife of Ahmed gurey (in cushite Somali and afar saho culture, when a man dies his brother marries his widow), and emir nur ibn mujahid is a well known Somali ruler...as for hubaat, the futuh al habsha book places this city to be in the valley between dirir Dhabe and jigjiga after you leave harar, and this city was in Somali lands of the ogaden region (hubaat city belongs to the karanle hawiye and geri koombe clans of Somalis) Every way we look at it, Ahmed gurey was somali, his successor nur ibn mujahid was also Somali, his army was 70 percent somali as the futuh al habasha proves, his nephew was Somali, his brother in law who married the sister of Ahmed gurey, was a famous Somali general and clan leader (Garaad), even the Royal family of the Adal sultanate which Ahmed gurey worked for, was Somali (walashma sultans who according to their own Arabic documents, based on their genealogy, verified by harari Arabic manuscripts, were descendants of yusuf al kownayn, a famous scholar from Zeila), even the capital city of zeila, and then dakkar, were both Somali and it was the somali walashma sultan abubakar who changed the capital to harar, and it was the somali emir nur ibn mujahid ruler who built the harar jugol wall
Ahmed Gurey has and will remain in our memories as a Somali hero and warrior who fought for the liberation of his people and refused to accept aggression or defeat. Every kid in Somalia is told about the legendary Ahmed Gurey who wove his flag for justice and truth 🇸🇴
he killed Christians and Burnt churches also converted most christians forcefully but thanks to God we had regained our strength and still remain majority in our country
All he did was took Ethiopian territories (the redsea) , killed chrstians , and burned churchs 🙄😑 The good thing Ethiopians NEVER BACKS DOWN. They were at this time fighting with oromo expansion and the Muslims with Turks Egyptians south Arabians TOGETHER, still defended themselves
@@rediettadesse2828 and Somalis will not back down either. Despite many efforts from centuries of Ethiopian emperors, Somalia is still a land of Islam and has forged its unique culture and identity. We will never bow down for any invaders least of all Ethiopians 🙄
Ahmed Gurey wasn't attacking Christian Ethiopia and their European allies, but defending our Somali people from their aggression and expansionism. I'm so proud of my ancestor my Allah be pleased with him and his soldiers.
@@hrargate aren’t Somalis Muslims? What you mean is he was defending all muslims including Somalis. And if you mean he wasn’t Somali, that’s not up for debate! He is one of my ancestors, you could be too if your ancestors were native to Harar not oromo or middle eastern settlers.
@@Awralla friend you are more focusing about your ancestor, that is not wrong but this tribalism’s destroyed and will destroy Somalie and may be more. If you read the book Fathul Habash then you will understand about it. He just ruled Ethiopia , Somalia, Djibouti , Eriteria and liberated Muslims from operation.
@@hrargate That's true, brother. I am Somali and I believe that he was defending all Muslims from paying Jizya to the Christian Ethiopian and European tyrants. In shaa Allah, we will all reunite as brothers again.
I want everybody to know that the Christians and the Muslims during this period fought due to economic reasons and not religious reasons. The Kingdom of Aksum (in Ethiopia), however Christian, gave refuge to Prophet Muhammad's first followers (the Sahabah) after they fled from the persecution of the ruling Quraysh tribe of Mecca. Ethiopia is a country where people respect and appreciate each others' religions.
@@mrhassanali3297 There are a lot of speculation surround his origin. For all we know, he could have had ancestry in both Harari and Somali and that maybe the reason why his origin is unknown
@@kindsoul8120 What are you talking about sxb. I am not a big fan of certain arabs. Ahmed ibn ibrahim al ghazi was harari and yemeni. He was definitely harari and he did have yemeni lineage. Alot of yemenis lived in harar because it was a acient and medivial trading hub. So its highly possible that he did have some trace of yemeni blood. Many yemenis resided in Harar.
@@mrhassanali3297 He was Somali with no trace of Yemeni. Ooof! Since they found out the Horn Africans are in the "Caucasian race", it's been a never ending thing to ask "are they black?" Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea and Djibouti are not black because the colour black is a derogatory term which means Abeed, Barya and Adoon! All the powerful countries are classed as Caucasians. And Caucasian became White due to some American old man, that's why Caucasian is synonymous with White. I'm not making this stuff up, click the link below: The Caucasian race (also Caucasoid[1] or Europid)[2] is a grouping of human beings historically regarded as a biological taxon, which, depending on which of the historical race classifications is used, has usually included ancient and modern populations from Europe, Western Asia, Central Asia, South Asia, North Africa, and the Horn of Africa. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caucasian_race
The Ethiopian Christian kingdom is surprisingly extremely resilient. The long war against Adal sultanate, then the Oromo invasion right after at its weakest point, The Egyptian Invasions, Turks, Italians and it survived all.
You don’t care about it, because your emperor managed save his kingdom from Islam. You owe everything to the past. The decisions your ancestors made, the deals they struck, the turn of fate. If they had done things another way, maybe you don’t exist
@@ርትእትሃይማኖቶሙለቁዱሳን We are seeing how Oromos are forming Oromia 🤣🤣🤣 It's time for Ethiopia to become the new Yugoslavia. Ogaden becomes part of Somalia. Oromia becomes a country and Afar becomes part of Eritrea.
The Jewish Kingdom of Semien or the kingdom of the Jews under the reign of King Yoram also had heavy casualties when Ahmad was at the brink of defeating Ethiopia. You also forgot the fact that the war didn't end yet after Ahmad's death, his nephew went on and even killed King Gelawdewos! After some time the war ended and Ahmad's nephew later died of typhus. The Muslims's invasion was pretty good karma of what the Ethiopians did with the Muslims and Mosque's especially during the reign of Amda Tsion.
Well then the ethiopian empire started capturing more and more of the adal sultanate throughout the years and even capturing their capital city harar the adal sultanate is no more but ethiopia is still going.

Waaq (God) Waaq is the Somali word for God, and was synonymously used for the ancient Cushitic Sky God Waaq. According to Somali Legend Eebo lived in the Heavens and whenever the nomads successfully prayed for rain it was known as Barwaaqo (God's rain).Then Hubal was brought in, Heedhe Hoobalwa, Hoobalow Hilowle, Hoobaalayoow Heedhe are tradition songs where Hubal replaced Waaq, Somalis specially the Dir continue to compose songs for it. Ayaanle (Angels) The Ayaanle in Ancient Somalia were known as the good spirits and acted as mediators between God and humans. They were said to be bringers of luck and blessings. Huur (Reaper) Huur was the messenger of Death and had the form of a large bird. The deity was akin to Horus of ancient Egypt and played a similar role in Somali society. Nidar (Punisher) Nidar was the righter of wrong. He was considered the champion of those that were exploited by their fellow humans. The deity has survived in modern Somalia as a popular saying; Nidar Ba Ku Heli ("Nidar will find and punish the ones who are naughty"). Amel Ali (Queen) Amel Ali was a legendary queen in ancient Somalia who is said to be the fastest woman in her time. Wiilwaal (King) Wiil Waal was a legendary king in ancient Somalia known for his bravery and skills in battle. Bucur Bacayr (King) Bucur Bacayr was a legendary king of the Yibirs in northern Somalia. Araweelo (Queen) Queen Araweelo was a legendary queen, who empowered women's rights, by making them stop their 'womanly' duties, which made the men realise their need for women. Giants and demons: Habbad ina Kamas (Giant) Habbad ina Kamas was a legendary cruel giant who ruled half of ancient Somalia. Habbad oppressive rule was the complete opposite to the kindness and care that was bestowed upon the other half of the land ruled by the giant Biriir ina Barqo. He was eventually defeated and slain in battle by Biriir, when the latter found out about Habbad's tyranny. Biriir ina Barqo (Giant) Biriir ina Barqo was a legendary heroic giant in ancient Somalia known for his just rule and kindness. He lived in a cave called Shimbiraale (the cave of birds) and used to wear a heavy ring that no man could lift. He answered the pleas of those suffering under the rule of the giant called Habbad and defeated him in battle. He then united the two lands and ushered in a long period of peace. Qori ismaris ("One who rubs himself with a stick") Qori ismaris was a man who could transform himself into a "Hyena-man" by rubbing himself with a magic stick at nightfall and by repeating this process could return to his human state before dawn. Dhegdheer ('"One with long ears") Dhegdheer was a female cannibalistic demon who hunted in Somali forests. Her victims were usually wandering or lost children. Buuti(shape-shifting human/creature) Buuti was one of the children of Dhegdheer who risked her life to save the innocent villagers. She turned heroic when she saved the people but was forever cursed to be shape-shifting cannibalistic creature.
Many regions of Somalia have cities or specific areas whose names corroborate the stories told in Somali mythology. Places such as Abudwaq, Ceel Waaq ("Well of God"), waaq-ooyi("north") and other similar towns with the name Waq in it suggest a relation to the old Waaq worship practiced in the Horn. The Tomb of Arawelo is another popular mythological place in Somalia said to be the final resting place of Queen Arawelo. In modern times, it is considered an important place for Somali women.
I just wanted to thank you for this channel. I grew up a Rastafarian and my parents taught me a lot of history about blacks throughout the world. Fortunately for me, I had family and friends who did the same. Because of this rich history I received, grew up with a real sense of confidence and self love. Only thing about those times were we read from books and different articles. Your channel has made it easier for me to teach my sons and I am learning even more. Lots of love and keep up the good work. Blessings!!
In that case,yous hould read the following books by Muhammad Ata-ur-Rahim and Ahmad Thomson: "Jesus, Prophet of Islam (revised edition)", "For Christ's Sake" and "Islam in Andalus."

Ethiopia was the main reason for somalia's colonisation They cooperated with the Europeans in order to get a share of somali territory You have been occupying the Somali region of ogaden since 1954 thats is 65 years of occupation This people don't want to be part of you they have never been part of your history They are proud somali And you should accept the reality The only solution to this problem is give those people their right for self determination
@@prideoflondon7484 Your comment is very misleading. Somalis bought weapons from the Ottomans. It wasn't aid. Ethiopia asked for aid from Portugal. The Soviet investment in Ethiopia absolutely dwarfed what they gave to Somalia. We lost that war because we were fighting Ethiopian troops+ thousands of Northern Yemenis, thousands of Cubans +hundreds of Soviet military advisors, etc. Siyaad Barre's last strategy was to support rebel groups in Ethiopia (Eritrea, OLF, ONLF, and TPLF) while Ethiopia did the same (Somaliland, Puntland, and Jubaland). Somalia collapsed first but it appears Siyaad's fruits are coming to harvest in Ethiopia today.

The reason for Al Ghazi waging war was because he wanted to make the word of Allah supreme and Ethiopia and the whole world will be Islamic when the second coming of the messiah Jesus the son of Mary happens.
Is one side story to point where he doesn’t mention Ahmed guray as Somalia. I’m not Surprised because majority of African Americans are ignorant about Africa n the only information they got about Africa is through churches which are influenced by Ethiopians. Instead of getting upset by his content, we should create our own to discredit foreign views about Africa history which is mostly rooted in racism.
Why did you not mention that Ahmed al- Ghazi was Somali and that the Adal sultanate was a majority Somali nation? You really dislike Somalis, don't you?
Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Ghazi(Ahmed gurey in Somali) was a Somali sultan of the adal sultanate. Hé was part of the walashma Dynasty. the conflict between Adal and Abyssinia begun when the Abyssinian army killed the sultan Sa'ad ad-Din II. the Abysinnian army composed of Habeshas. The Adal army composed of Somalis, Harla, Hararis, Afars. The abysinnian were so scared for the adal army that they couldnt cook their meat since cooking would create the smoke which would attract the adal army. At one time the adal sultanate conquered 3/4 of the Abysinnian empire. after the wars Adal and Abysinnia became weak. this provided a opportunity for the Oromos to migrate. the Abysinnians and Adals lost a lot of land to the Oromos.
@@gedionendalkachew12 Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Ghazi was born in Zeila. Current Day Zeila is in Somalia. But there is a dispute by historians what the ethnicity is of Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Ghazi. Some say Somali other harari! But hé came from the walashma dynasty a Somali dynasty

@ No. Ethiopia was a storied kingdom from the ancient world-This concept of “Africa,” is in itself a colonial concept-African is a Roman word, it’s not of the continent. The ones liable for the conquest of Africa were the greedy West African slave traders, and the muslim black converts who sold slaves to the Arabs.
I’m not sure if it has anything to do with this story but Ethiopian Christians consider eating or writing with your left hand as a taboo. It could be because Ahmad the left handed left a scar in the Christian community

Good video. Some other points are that Imam Ahmed was an ethnic Somali of the Habr Magadle clan and born in Zeila. Harar was a Somali city founded by descendants of thr Dir clan Gurey's ancestors also descended from. The wall's of Harar were built by Sultan Nur, another ethnic Somali, this time of the Marehan clan to protect the Somali people of Harar. The Imam's biographer was a Moroccan Arab, hence the use of Arabic names in his history. Hararis descemd from Somalis but came under Ethiopian control after the war. Eventually, they even started speaking a Semitic language closer to Amhara and Tigray than their mative togue.

You have missed the Ottoman Empire was using the Somalis. So, the war was between Ottoman Empire armed with modern weapons against the Ethiopians armed with arrows and spears. The other thing is that Muslim leader was wounded trying to cross into Eritrea and died because of his wounds. He was not killed as you claimed.

Ahmed ibrahim ibrahim al ghazi was harari and yemeni from hadarmount region. Sxb beenta joojo. Al gazi is not a common name somalis use. Ahmed ibn ibrahim al ghazi being somali are just speculations without any factual or Intellectual accuracy. After extensive research most historians specializing in East African history and culture concluded that Ahmed ibn ibrahim al ghazi was mostly likely harari or yemeni. He is either full yemeni, full harari or half harari and half yemeni. Many yemenis resided in harar because it was a flourishing trade hub in acient and medivial times. Many yemenis went to harar for trade and commerce. So please stop lying. During Ahmed ibn ibrahim al ghazi conquest of abyssinia Somalis were nomads competitng with each other over scare resources in the dessert like water and pasture. We were busy fighting each other to fight the abyssinia highlanders. Also habar younis lived in haud and didn't practice in the conquest. Ahmed ibn ibrahim al ghazi is a hero to East African Muslims but he was harari with a trace of yemeni blood. Also hargeisa and haraghe region of Ethiopia use to be inhabited by the hararis until the Somali nomads pushed them out or assimilated them. Both cities resemble the harari ethnic name.

Amde Seyon the Christian King who started raiding and attacking Somali *Muslim* territory came FIRST. Muslims acted in self-defense. thats the part people conveniently forget, the Muslims fought in self defense as the Ethiopian Christians were constantly trying to conquer the Muslims, not the other way around. Amde Seyon attacking Muslims is what caused Ahmed Gurey. They also conveniently ignore he was Somali and they were raiding Somali *Muslim* territory. If you are going to tell a story tell all of it instead of trying to make Somalis look like the aggressors.
@Yohannes Adane Hello my dear brother. Muslims always had a policy of non aggression towards the absynnian Christian empire. The prophet Muhammad(Peace be upon him) told his followers to not attack abyssinia as long as they don't attack you. The Quran describes the Christians of Ethiopia as people of wisdom and great knowledge. Muslims always had great respect for abyssinia and would always avoid confrontation with them. But amde seyon was the instigator in the adal and abyssinian conflict. He attacked the muslim kingdom first and the Muslims retaliated by defending their land. Amde seyon wanted to annex the Muslim kingdom. He labelled the Muslims the enemies of the lord and attacked them for no reason. He committed various atrocities towards the Muslims which would amount to human rights violations today. He killed many innocent Muslims, forced them to convert to Christianity and burnt thousands of mosques. This is well documented in the futush al habesh book. Imam ahmed himself said he had no attention of conquering the abyssinian Christian empire and only did so to put an end to the brutality and aggression of the abyssinian empire. Another thing to note is that one of the Christian kings raped Imam Ahmed relative which caused him great pain and sorrow. This is why he retaliated extremely aggressive towards the Christians in abyssinia. An arab writer described how one of Imam Ahmeds relative was raped and decapitated by a Christian king. Some are saying this was his mother or sister. Its well documented in the futush al habesh book. So we must read the context. Muslims are prohibited from attacking abyssinia but only did so to defend their land and people against a tyrant Christian king. I hope people of all faiths can live together in peace and harmony in Ethiopia and around the world. Take care.
As abysinnian I want to hear the full history , from the start it was a war that went on for 3 centuries ? I need studies done how it happened started how it went It was known it's Ahmed that sucessed for the Muslims but many other abysinnian kings were successful prior to ahmhed

The Legend Killer24 king of kings Stop capping. At least 1000 ottoman troops and cannons were at Adal. On top of that thousands of Arabs were aiding Adal. Without their allies. Adal wouldn't have been able to do anything.
EMDNT (Futuh al-Habash) In 1529, Imam Ahmad's Adal troops defeated a larger Ethiopian contingent at the Battle of Shimbra Kure. The victory came at a heavy cost but it solidified the Somali forces' morale, providing proof that they could stand up to the sizable Ethiopian army.
EMDNT The victories that gave the followers of Imam Ahmad the upper hand came in 1531. The first was at Antukyah, where cannon fire at the start of the battle panicked the Ethiopian soldiers. The second was on 28 October at Amba Sel, when troops under the Imam not only defeated but dispersed the Ethiopian army and captured items of the Imperial regalia. These victories allowed the Somalis to enter the Ethiopian highlands, where they began to sack and burn numerous churches, including Atronsa Maryam, where the remains of several Emperors had been interred.The country was looted by the Ahmad's forces, who destroyed several Christian monuments and oppressed the non-Muslim Amhara and Tigray.

To add up , ottomans were kicked out immediately by a Muslim Ethiopian Harari leader Don’t forget that islam (the religion it self) was accepted by negus ashama aka al nejashi (as arabs say) when arabs refugees came by Ethiopia became the prophet Mohammad pbuh told them to migrate there to the land of a fair king who finally converted to islam and never let outsiders use islam to conquer Ethiopia ever since which remained Ethiopian culture beside the ancient religions
Haha almost , do you know what the later kings did tho they imported missionaries ,of other Christianity faith to balance out the Islam expansion into various tribes , Catholics and protestanism now 20% Ethiopian mostly south region n from other tribes are protestant. Which would've been most likely muslim,
If you travel to Ethiopia today most of the country is majority Muslim except for the Amhara and Tigray regions. Even those regions have minority Muslims! Ancient Ethiopia and modern day Ethiopia are two different things. Ethiopia is trying hard to keep the secret that Muslims are actually a majority in modern day Ethiopia.
Maybe you have seen the areas that the majority of people are Muslim, but that doesn't make the country of Ethiopia Muslim. The majority is "Christian" with different doctrine and "Muslim" is the second religion that encompasses the country then the "Pagan" is the rest. But Ethiopia is the country that doesn't belittle others religion while glorifying their own. We love and respect each other's religion and we even celebrate every religion holidays together

@@የኩሽልጅ Hello my dear brother. Muslims always had a policy of non aggression towards the absynnian Christian empire. The prophet Muhammad(Peace be upon him) told his followers to not attack abyssinia as long as they don't attack you. The Quran describes the Christians of Ethiopia as people of wisdom and great knowledge. Muslims always had great respect for abyssinia and would always avoid confrontation with them. But amde seyon was the instigator in the adal and abyssinian conflict. He attacked the muslim kingdom first and the Muslims retaliated by defending their land. Amde seyon wanted to annex the Muslim kingdom. He labelled the Muslims the enemies of the lord and attacked them for no reason. He committed various atrocities towards the Muslims which would amount to human rights violations today. He killed many innocent Muslims, forced them to convert to Christianity and burnt thousands of mosques. This is well documented in the futush al habesh book. Imam ahmed himself said he had no attention of conquering the abyssinian Christian empire and only did so to put an end to the brutality and aggression of the abyssinian empire. Another thing to note is that one of the Christian kings raped Imam Ahmed relative which caused him great pain and sorrow. This is why he retaliated extremely aggressive towards the Christians in abyssinia. An arab writer described how one of Imam Ahmeds relative was raped and decapitated by a Christian king. Some are saying this was his mother or sister. Its well documented in the futush al habesh book. So we must read the context. Muslims are prohibited from attacking abyssinia but only did so to defend their land and people against a tyrant Christian king. I hope people of all faiths can live together in peace and harmony in Ethiopia and around the world. Take care.

@@OneAfricaProject I agree.. all three monotheistic religions were out there to keep the black man in bondage . Islam, Christianity and Judaidm.! None of them has been of any good to the African.
@@OneAfricaProject you know what's funny comrade ? Is the fact that all these abrahamic religions were stolen from Africa. From the 10 commandments , to the creation story , to the belief in a heavenly father , mother n child (Osiris, ISIS, Horus) etc. These enslaves took our spirituality, went and repackaged it with the nasty face of the white jesus and the bloody mohammad , and gave it back to us , to keep us as eternal religious slaves.! I always cringe when I see a black man or woman vowing allegiance to jesus or allah . Its asinine to say the least. !
The earliest creation story has been officially traced back to Egypt, in inscriptions on a stone now famously known as the "Shakkaba Stone" , where the hieroglyphs stated that " in the beginning , the god of Memphis/kush (south of egypt ) decided to create the world which was empty. So he thought about what he wanted to create , spoke it on his lips , and the word became real (flesh) . Remember these inscriptions were curved in Egypt more than 10,000 yrs before the birth of the abrahamic religions . So how the fcuk did the same story appear in the bible , quran and Torah, as their own ??? Africans need to wake up to this religious fraud !!!
Biased history kmt acting like ethopians didn’t kill adapts sultanate twice before this and looted Somali cities al ghazi only came to power after ethopia started the war killing our sultant
Axmed Gurey was a hero. He saved many Africans from slavery and subjugation. this were not a religious wars as the poster suggests but rather wasr against European domination. around the same time the Portuguese who were considered to be one of the world's most advanced naval power kickstarting the the transatlantic slave trade in west africa with the assistance of the abyssinians. he beheaded Cristao De gama, son of Vasco De Gama and freed the swahili coast. Ahmed Gurey was a somali and not ethiopian btw

Well are you talking culturally not free I understand. But as far as Islam is in question they are very very free. Let’s not forget that people use their culture and impose it on the religion. Culture is different from religion.
@Yohannes Adane I wish Muslims and Christians in Ethiopia can always live in together in everlasting peace and harmony. Many of my great friends are Ethiopian Christians who I admire and love. I wish to see the prosperity and happiness of both Muslims and Christians in the horn of Africa and around the world. Let's put an end to our hostilities from previous wars and promote peaceful coexistence between our respective faiths. Thank you brother and wish you all the best. I don't hate you. I see you as my brother in humanity. Ethiopia is an example to the rest of the world how people of different faiths can live together in peace and harmony. Ethiopia is the only country in Africa where you will see Mosques and Churches right next to each other. Ethiopian Christians are well know their hospitality and generosity.

@@crazyfrog3047 He wasn't somali. He was harari. You guys need to stop claiming other peoples history. Harar was never ruled by Somalis. Also Zeila use to be an arab and harari city. The governor of Zeila was arab and harari.
@@mrhassanali3297 Most rulers of harar were somali like amir nur ibn mujahid nephew of ahmed gurey that built the walls surrounding the city till this day
You're misunderstanding. This video is from the perspective of the Christian Ethiopians. The reality was that the Christians were actually attacking the Muslims and Imam Ahmed Al Ghazi was very good at defending the Muslims. Think about it. In the video, he says that Imam Ahmed became the leader due to his military acumen before his first offensive on Ethiopia. That means that he was gaining recognition for his talents because of his defensive operations. This war wasn't about religion but about defeating the oppressors.
One things the Abyssinians known we Somalis known is that imam Ahmed gurey(garagn the left) was Somali ethnic we follow his foot steps track what ever the cost. The Abyssinian follow the track of de gamma. thats difference and struggle of the horn till now, will continue unless policy changed. Thanks as always .
@@Topagendadolla He was born in Zeila, which was and still is a Somali city and the records if him being extremely close to Somalis. Extremely high chance he was Somali.
@@Cz-zi3my probably but he could have easily been an Turkish, arab, harrar or a different Somali clan that longer exists or has been absorbed. And to the point of the original poster. The Ethiopians followed the Portuguese because Ahmed was armed by the ottomans and Egyptians. The fact that Ethiopians stayed relatively Christian and also kept their traditional religion surrounded by powerful Muslim nations is a miracle.
@@Topagendadolla I really doubt he was either Turkish or Arab as Arab sources would have stated such and claim him and Turks didn’t ever settle in Zeila. Ibn Battute who visited Zeila a century or so prior to Adal/Abyssinia wars stated in his book that the people of Zeila majority dark skin shafi’i Muslims which rules out Turks or Arabs as they both aren’t Dark skinned, he also stated that the inhabitants spoke the same languge and had similar culture to the people of Mogadishu which he later visited. Also Hararis never lived in Zeila and the only other ethnicity that lived there in history were Afars.
@@Topagendadolla there is no such thing as harlta or harrir no tribe with that name exists either today or in any documented source, as for oromo we know they weren't even Muslim in the 1500s hence why Somalis called oromos Gaal Madow (black infidels), and all historians agree the oromo migration occurred in the late 1600s and brought migrating nomads from the border of Kenya and South Ethiopia, into the rest of the modern borders Ethiopia ...so how could oromos who were still in South Ethiopia during the 16th century, somehow have risen up the ranks of the Somali ruled (walashma sultans even in medieval harari Arabic documents, are cited as Somalis native to Zeila, even their Dir clan is mentioned in these sources) Adal sultanate? Makes no sense
@Jelijah Jai the Oromos were pushed out of Central kenya and great lake regions. They saw dat Amhara, harala , afar, hararis and somali people were vulnerable to attack from the South. They violently assimilated many somali clans , Amharas and afar people. they almost completely wiped out the harala people . Da remaining join confederated with the Somalis . Harari had the worst time. Somali people were able to push dem back from Northern and southern Somali lands. They literally assimilated half of dir clan ( somali) and took their capital dire dewwa.
Tigrayan people were legends we somalis know because at the time of kingdoms when amhara people ruled. ethiopia was so easy to defeat but tigrayan they were so strong.
You crack me up 😂😂😂 Not to mention they were living on top of mountains for years check out there history they have a famous monastery built on these mountains.
@Aseffa B We didn't hire Ottmoan mercenaries. We only bought their weapons. Portuguese came and gave you help. You didn't purchase their weapons or their mercenaries. That's the difference between a Habesha and a Somali. We can fight our own battles without calling in whites for help.

The Tomb of Arawelo is another popular mythological place in Somalia said to be the final resting place of Queen Arawelo. In modern times, it is considered an important place for Somali women.
Hubal was probably brought from Arabia, it was an ancient Arabic idol that the Qureshites worshipped instead of God.

I just wanted to thank you for this channel. I grew up a Rastafarian and my parents taught me a lot of history about blacks throughout the world. Fortunately for me, I had family and friends who did the same. Because of this rich history I received, grew up with a real sense of confidence and self love. Only thing about those times were we read from books and different articles. Your channel has made it easier for me to teach my sons and I am learning even more. Lots of love and keep up the good work. Blessings!!
In that case,yous hould read the following books by Muhammad Ata-ur-Rahim and Ahmad Thomson: "Jesus, Prophet of Islam (revised edition)", "For Christ's Sake" and "Islam in Andalus." It will teach you the truth of how the Catholic Church really spread (forced) their religion upon the people and how the Protestant Movement formed!

Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Ghazi(Ahmed gurey in Somali) was a Somali sultan of the adal sultanate. Hé was part of the walashma Dynasty. the conflict between Adal and Abyssinia begun when the Abyssinian army killed the sultan Sa'ad ad-Din II. the Abysinnian army composed of Habeshas. The Adal army composed of Somalis, Harla, Hararis, Afars. The abysinnian were so scared for the adal army that they couldnt cook their meat since cooking would create the smoke which would attract the adal army. At one time the adal sultanate conquered 3/4 of the Abysinnian empire. after the wars Adal and Abysinnia became weak. this provided a opportunity for the Oromos to migrate. the Abysinnians and Adals lost a lot of land to the Oromos.

Good video. Some other points are that Imam Ahmed was an ethnic Somali of the Habr Magadle clan and born in Zeila. Harar was a Somali city founded by descendants of thr Dir clan Gurey's ancestors also descended from. The wall's of Harar were built by Sultan Nur, another ethnic Somali, this time of the Marehan clan to protect the Somali people of Harar. The Imam's biographer was a Moroccan Arab, hence the use of Arabic names in his history. Hararis descemd from Somalis but came under Ethiopian control after the war. Eventually, they even started speaking a Semitic language closer to Amhara and Tigray than their mative togue.

You have missed the Ottoman Empire was using the Somalis. So, the war was between Ottoman Empire armed with modern weapons against the Ethiopians armed with arrows and spears. The other thing is that Muslim leader was wounded trying to cross into Eritrea and died because of his wounds. He was not killed as you claimed.

Ahmed ibrahim ibrahim al ghazi was harari and yemeni from hadarmount region. Sxb beenta joojo. Al gazi is not a common name somalis use. Ahmed ibn ibrahim al ghazi being somali are just speculations without any factual or Intellectual accuracy. After extensive research most historians specializing in East African history and culture concluded that Ahmed ibn ibrahim al ghazi was mostly likely harari or yemeni. He is either full yemeni, full harari or half harari and half yemeni. Many yemenis resided in harar because it was a flourishing trade hub in acient and medivial times. Many yemenis went to harar for trade and commerce. So please stop lying.
During Ahmed ibn ibrahim al ghazi conquest of abyssinia Somalis were nomads competitng with each other over scare resources in the dessert like water and pasture. We were busy fighting each other to fight the abyssinia highlanders. Also habar younis lived in haud and didn't practice in the conquest. Ahmed ibn ibrahim al ghazi is a hero to East African Muslims but he was harari with a trace of yemeni blood. Also hargeisa and haraghe region of Ethiopia use to be inhabited by the hararis until the Somali nomads pushed them out or assimilated them. Both cities resemble the harari ethnic name.

Amde Seyon the Christian King who started raiding and attacking Somali *Muslim* territory came FIRST. Muslims acted in self-defense. thats the part people conveniently forget, the Muslims fought in self defense as the Ethiopian Christians were constantly trying to conquer the Muslims, not the other way around. Amde Seyon attacking Muslims is what caused Ahmed Gurey. They also conveniently ignore he was Somali and they were raiding Somali *Muslim* territory. If you are going to tell a story tell all of it instead of trying to make Somalis look like the aggressors.
@Yohannes Adane Hello my dear brother. Muslims always had a policy of non aggression towards the absynnian Christian empire. The prophet Muhammad(Peace be upon him) told his followers to not attack abyssinia as long as they don't attack you. The Quran describes the Christians of Ethiopia as people of wisdom and great knowledge. Muslims always had great respect for abyssinia and would always avoid confrontation with them. But amde seyon was the instigator in the adal and abyssinian conflict. He attacked the muslim kingdom first and the Muslims retaliated by defending their land. Amde seyon wanted to annex the Muslim kingdom. He labelled the Muslims the enemies of the lord and attacked them for no reason. He committed various atrocities towards the Muslims which would amount to human rights violations today. He killed many innocent Muslims, forced them to convert to Christianity and burnt thousands of mosques. This is well documented in the futush al habesh book. Imam ahmed himself said he had no attention of conquering the abyssinian Christian empire and only did so to put an end to the brutality and aggression of the abyssinian empire. Another thing to note is that one of the Christian kings raped Imam Ahmed relative which caused him great pain and sorrow. This is why he retaliated extremely aggressive towards the Christians in abyssinia. An arab writer described how one of Imam Ahmeds relative was raped and decapitated by a Christian king. Some are saying this was his mother or sister. Its well documented in the futush al habesh book. So we must read the context. Muslims are prohibited from attacking abyssinia but only did so to defend their land and people against a tyrant Christian king. I hope people of all faiths can live together in peace and harmony in Ethiopia and around the world. Take care.
As abysinnian I want to hear the full history , from the start it was a war that went on for 3 centuries ? I need studies done how it happened started how it went
It was known it's Ahmed that sucessed for the Muslims but many other abysinnian kings were successful prior to ahmhed
Futuh al Habesh is a book that chronicles this whole saga and it is written contemporaneously by Ahmed Gragn's (Al Ghazi) own scribe.

EMDNT (Futuh al-Habash)
In 1529, Imam Ahmad's Adal troops defeated a larger Ethiopian contingent at the Battle of Shimbra Kure. The victory came at a heavy cost but it solidified the Somali forces' morale, providing proof that they could stand up to the sizable Ethiopian army.
EMDNT The victories that gave the followers of Imam Ahmad the upper hand came in 1531. The first was at Antukyah, where cannon fire at the start of the battle panicked the Ethiopian soldiers. The second was on 28 October at Amba Sel, when troops under the Imam not only defeated but dispersed the Ethiopian army and captured items of the Imperial regalia. These victories allowed the Somalis to enter the Ethiopian highlands, where they began to sack and burn numerous churches, including Atronsa Maryam, where the remains of several Emperors had been interred.The country was looted by the Ahmad's forces, who destroyed several Christian monuments and oppressed the non-Muslim Amhara and Tigray.

If you travel to Ethiopia today most of the country is majority Muslim except for the Amhara and Tigray regions. Even those regions have minority Muslims! Ancient Ethiopia and modern day Ethiopia are two different things. Ethiopia is trying hard to keep the secret that Muslims are actually a majority in modern day Ethiopia.
Maybe you have seen the areas that the majority of people are Muslim, but that doesn't make the country of Ethiopia Muslim.
The majority is "Christian" with different doctrine and "Muslim" is the second religion that encompasses the country then the "Pagan" is the rest.
But Ethiopia is the country that doesn't belittle others religion while glorifying their own. We love and respect each other's religion and we even celebrate every religion holidays together

The prophet Muhammad(Peace be upon him) told his followers to not attack abyssinia as long as they don't attack you. The Quran describes the Christians of Ethiopia as people of wisdom and great knowledge. Muslims always had great respect for abyssinia and would always avoid confrontation with them. But amde seyon was the instigator in the adal and abyssinian conflict. He attacked the muslim kingdom first and the Muslims retaliated by defending their land. Amde seyon wanted to annex the Muslim kingdom. He labelled the Muslims the enemies of the lord and attacked them for no reason. He committed various atrocities towards the Muslims which would amount to human rights violations today. He killed many innocent Muslims, forced them to convert to Christianity and burnt thousands of mosques. This is well documented in the futush al habesh book. Imam ahmed himself said he had no attention of conquering the abyssinian Christian empire and only did so to put an end to the brutality and aggression of the abyssinian empire. Another thing to note is that one of the Christian kings raped Imam Ahmed relative which caused him great pain and sorrow. This is why he retaliated extremely aggressive towards the Christians in abyssinia. An arab writer described how one of Imam Ahmeds relative was raped and decapitated by a Christian king. Some are saying this was his mother or sister. Its well documented in the futush al habesh book. So we must read the context. Muslims are prohibited from attacking abyssinia but only did so to defend their land and people against a tyrant Christian king.

@@big.r5550 exactly.
@@OneAfricaProject you know what's funny comrade ? Is the fact that all these abrahamic religions were stolen from Africa. From the 10 commandments , to the creation story , to the belief in a heavenly father , mother n child (Osiris, ISIS, Horus) etc. These enslaves took our spirituality, went and repackaged it with the nasty face of the white jesus and the bloody mohammad , and gave it back to us , to keep us as eternal religious slaves.! I always cringe when I see a black man or woman vowing allegiance to jesus or allah . Its asinine to say the least. !
The earliest creation story has been officially traced back to Egypt, in inscriptions on a stone now famously known as the "Shakkaba Stone" , where the hieroglyphs stated that " in the beginning , the god of Memphis/kush (south of egypt ) decided to create the world which was empty. So he thought about what he wanted to create , spoke it on his lips , and the word became real (flesh) . Remember these inscriptions were curved in Egypt more than 10,000 yrs before the birth of the abrahamic religions . So how the fcuk did the same story appear in the bible , quran and Torah, as their own ??? Africans need to wake up to this religious fraud !!!
Biased history kmt acting like ethopians didn’t kill adapts sultanate twice before this and looted Somali cities al ghazi only came to power after ethopia started the war killing our sultant
Axmed Gurey was a hero. He saved many Africans from slavery and subjugation. this were not a religious wars as the poster suggests but rather wasr against European domination. around the same time the Portuguese who were considered to be one of the world's most advanced naval power kickstarting the the transatlantic slave trade in west africa with the assistance of the abyssinians. he beheaded Cristao De gama, son of Vasco De Gama and freed the swahili coast.

Well are you talking culturally not free I understand. But as far as Islam is in question they are very very free. Let’s not forget that people use their culture and impose it on the religion. Culture is different from religion.
@Yohannes Adane I wish Muslims and Christians in Ethiopia can always live in together in everlasting peace and harmony. Many of my great friends are Ethiopian Christians who I admire and love. I wish to see the prosperity and happiness of both Muslims and Christians in the horn of Africa and around the world. Let's put an end to our hostilities from previous wars and promote peaceful coexistence between our respective faiths. Thank you brother and wish you all the best. I don't hate you. I see you as my brother in humanity. Ethiopia is an example to the rest of the world how people of different faiths can live together in peace and harmony. Ethiopia is the only country in Africa where you will see Mosques and Churches right next to each other. Ethiopian Christians are well know their hospitality and generosity. Before Eid prayers, Ethiopians Christians helped Muslims set up for their Eid prayers. Wish you all the best my dear brother and thank you for your respectful reply.

Ahmad Gurey single handedly fought Ethiopian empire and the Portuguese who were basically the US of that time who were investing our country Somalia.
The first monotheistic religion in ethiopia was Judaism, brought by the queen of shibba and the great king solomon.
And then they all converted to Christianity.
BTW the ethiopian Christianity is the most similar religion to judaism, because the influences that judaism had on the ethiopian people.

You're misunderstanding. This video is from the perspective of the Christian Ethiopians. The reality was that the Christians were actually attacking the Muslims and Imam Ahmed Al Ghazi was very good at defending the Muslims. Think about it. In the video, he says that Imam Ahmed became the leader due to his military acumen before his first offensive on Ethiopia. That means that he was gaining recognition for his talents because of his defensive operations. This war wasn't about religion but about defeating the oppressors.

The Abyssinian follow the track of de gamma. thats difference and struggle of the horn till now, will continue unless policy changed. Thanks as always .
Ahmed Gurey could have been harlta, Harrir, afar or Oromo as well. Nobody knows if he is Somali.
@@Topagendadolla He was born in Zeila, which was and still is a Somali city and the records if him being extremely close to Somalis. Extremely high chance he was Somali.
@@Cz-zi3my probably but he could have easily been an Turkish, arab, harrar or a different Somali clan that longer exists or has been absorbed. And to the point of the original poster. The Ethiopians followed the Portuguese because Ahmed was armed by the ottomans and Egyptians. The fact that Ethiopians stayed relatively Christian and also kept their traditional religion surrounded by powerful Muslim nations is a miracle.
@@Topagendadolla I really doubt he was either Turkish or Arab as Arab sources would have stated such and claim him and Turks didn’t ever settle in Zeila. Ibn Battute who visited Zeila a century or so prior to Adal/Abyssinia wars stated in his book that the people of Zeila majority dark skin shafi’i Muslims which rules out Turks or Arabs as they both aren’t Dark skinned, he also stated that the inhabitants spoke the same languge and had similar culture to the people of Mogadishu which he later visited. Also Hararis never lived in Zeila and the only other ethnicity that lived there in history were Afars.
@@Topagendadolla there is no such thing as harlta or harrir no tribe with that name exists either today or in any documented source, as for oromo we know they weren't even Muslim in the 1500s hence why Somalis called oromos Gaal Madow (black infidels), and all historians agree the oromo migration occurred in the late 1600s and brought migrating nomads from the border of Kenya and South Ethiopia, into the rest of the modern borders Ethiopia ...so how could oromos who were still in South Ethiopia during the 16th century, somehow have risen up the ranks of the Somali ruled (walashma sultans even in medieval harari Arabic documents, are cited as Somalis native to Zeila, even their Dir clan is mentioned in these sources) Adal sultanate? Makes no sense
After the Muslim and Christian were weakened. The pagan Oromo rolled in
@Jelijah Jai the Oromos were pushed out of Central kenya and great lake regions. They saw dat Amhara, harala , afar, hararis and somali people were vulnerable to attack from the South. They violently assimilated many somali clans , Amharas and afar people. they almost completely wiped out the harala people . Da remaining join confederated with the Somalis . Harari had the worst time. Somali people were able to push dem back from Northern and southern Somali lands. They literally assimilated half of dir clan ( somali) and took their capital dire dewwa.
