Hassan Enjamo was the chief of Hadiya in the nineteenth century.[1] He was the last Garad of Qabena before the Abyssinian invasion.[2]

Militant career

Hassan's state dominated modern day southern Ethiopia in the 1800s by expanding his dominion into all of Gurage and some parts of Oromo territory, Islamizing most of the population by 1876.[3]

For two years beginning from 1886, the attempted Abyssinian Shewa expansion led by Menelik II was pushed back by Hassan's militia.[4] Hassan had obtained the support of local Gurage, Wolane, Silt'e, Arsi Oromo and other Muslims in the region.[5][6] Several nobles from neighboring states such as the brother of Abba Jifar I the ruler of the Kingdom of Jimma backed Hassan's troops.[7]

It is believed his resistance, identical to the Talha Jafar-led Muslim revolt in Wollo, was inspired by the Sudanese Mahdist State.[8]

Death

Hassan's followers were finally defeated in 1889 by the Abyssinian forces.[9] Although Hassan was able to flee to the Kingdom of Jimma following the battle, he would soon succumb to malaria in 1889 upon his return to Qabena.[10]
