Ahmad I ibn Abi Bakr was Emir of Harar 1755 1782 . In the first years of his reign, the Emir went with a friend to the Jarso Oromo Jarso and Nole Oromo , taking bales of sheetings for the first time to these Oromo in order to civilize them. He was the first Emir of Harar to give the neighboring Oromo gifts, which may have been a subsidy to free the way for salt and other goods which must have arrived through their territories. ref R. A. Caulk, Harar Town and Its Neighbours in the Nineteenth Century , Journal of African History , 18 1977 , p. 372 ref Another example of his efforts to civilize the Oromo was his construction of a shrine to the Baghdadi saint Abd al Qadir al Jilani near the tomb of Sheikh Hussein , which lies to the south deep in the territory of the Oromo people . ref J.

Muhammad ibn Ali Abd ash Shakur was the Emir of Harar , Ethiopia 1856&ndash 1875 . In the oral traditions of the Harari, he was reviled for having entered in an ilman gosa adoptive brotherhood with the Bokku of the Ala Oromo . This alliance enabled him to usurp the throne 30 August 1856 and oppressed his own people by not only devaluing the city s currency while extracting a special mahalaq al Galla or Oromo tax. ref S. Waldron, http repository.forcedmigration.org show metadata.jsp?pid fmo 2127 The political economy of Harari Oromo relationships 1554 1975 , p. 12 Forced migration Online website, accessed 3 July 2009 ref Richard Pankhurst academic Richard Pankhurst also notes that Emir Muhammad forbade his subjects from eating rice or Date Palm dates , declaring that they were suitable only for rulers. ref Ref Ethiopia Pankhurst 1968 pages p. 37 ref The native Harari appealed to khedive Isma il Pasha Isma il of Egypt , who then directed Ra uf Pasha , in command of the military expedition that had annexed Zeila and Berbera to Egypt in 1870 , to march on Harar. Ra uf Pasha occupied Harar October 1875, according to Trimingham, without encountering any resistance except for some from the Galla tribes. So ended the independence of the petty city state of Harar after less than two centuries. ref J. Spencer Trimingham, Islam in Ethiopia Oxford Geoffrey Cumberlege for the University Press, 1952 , pp 120f. ref Two letters of Emir Muhammad survive, both dated 6 October 1875, to Ra uf Pasha, which discuss the terms of the city s surrender. ref Printed with an English translation in Sven Rubenson ed. , Acta Aethiopica, Volume III Internal Rivalries and Foreign Threats, 1869 1879 New Brunswick Transaction Publishers, 2000 , letters 133 and 134. ref Notes reflist See also List of emirs of Harar Category Emirs of Harar Category Year of death missing Ethiopia royal stub ... more details
Abd Allah II ibn Ali Abd ash Shakur , also known as Amir Hajji Abdu llahi II ibn Ali Abdu s Shakur , was the last Emir of Harar from 1884 or 1885, various sources carry various dates to January 26, 1887, when the state was terminated, following the defeat of the Harari troops at the Battle of Chelenqo January 6 . According to R.A. Caulk, Emir Abd Allah was the son of Muhammad ibn Ali Abd ash Shakur by Kadija, the daughter of Emir Abd al Karim ibn Muhammad . ref R. A. Caulk, http www.jstor.org stable 180638 Harar Town and Its Neighbours in the Nineteenth Century , Journal of African History , 18 1977 , p. 384 ref To secure his hold on the emirate of Harar, his father had married Abd Allah to the daughter of Ahmad III ibn Abu Bakr , his predecessor. When the Egypt ians evacuated Harar, Abd Allah became the logical choice to rule Harar, and was given a few hundred soldiers trained by one of the British officers, 300 to 400 rifles, some cannon, and munitions, a force hardly sufficient to garrison Harar and Jaldessa , let alone police the traderoutes and ensure the security of the state. ref Ref Ethiopia Marcus 1995 pages pp. 89f ref Emir Abd Allah grew paranoid of the growing Ethiopian threat to his domain, and accused the resident Europeans of co operating with Negus Menelik II of Ethiopia Menelik II . His situation deteriorated by July 1885, according to Harold Marcus the population grew uncontrollable, European traders became virtual prisoners in their homes and shops, and the adjacent Oromo people Galla raided the town. ref Marcus, Menelik II , p. 90 ref In response, the Emir introduced a new currency which impoverished the local population the neighboring Oromo and Somali ...
