Wargar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
First mentioned in the fourteenth century chronicles of Emperor Amda Seyon I of Ethiopia as allies of Imam Salih.[2]
In the sixteenth century, the overlord of Zeila Wargar ibn Abogn, accompanied Adal leader Ahmed ibn Ibrahim al-Ghazi during the Ethiopian-Adal War.[3][4]
Wargar is described as a Harla sub clan within the Harari people.[5] According to Harari tradition, it was then that, to defend themselves, seven clans of the neighbouring villages united against a common adversary, including Wargar, to form a Harar city-state.[6] The title Wargar persisted in the post seventeenth century state Emirate of Harar's fringes.[7] The Warjih people today inhabiting Shewa are commonly referred to as Wargar.[8]
