Kassa was victorious, Birru Goshu was captured and spent the next 14 years in chains. The battle was fought in Gojjam, in the modern Misraq Gojjam Zone . Birru sought to avenge his father, Goshu Zewde , who had been killed in the Battle of Gur Amba two years before. Confident of success, he left his fortress at Jebelli and in March 1854 Kassa Hailu engaged him and defeated him. Birru then tried to use the same tactics he had successfully used against Ras Ali II of Yejju Ali , but his army failed him. As Mordechai Abir notes, His Gojjamites were no longer fighting the hated Oromo people Galla who had continuously ravaged their country, but a successful Amhara leader who was able to crush the much disliked Yejju dynasty. Moreover, Kassa was the idol of the soldiers and his personal bravery became legendary. So when the two armies met again, Birru Goshu s army disintegrated and was taken prisoner. ref Mordechai Abir, Ethiopia The Era of the Princes The Challenge of Islam and the Re unification of the Christian Empire 1769 1855 London Longmans, 1968 pp. 140f ref Birru s wife surrendered Jibelli with its ...
