According to Terje Ostebo, the Islamization of the Oromo in southeastern Ethiopia began with Somalis expanding west into Hararge during the 18th–19th centuries. Their interaction with the nearby Oromo gave rise to the Warra Qallu, who later spread Islam across Hararge and beyond. https://t.co/7zC1xCCjg2...

To outsiders Abiy Ahmed falsely presents himself as a hard core Ethiopian representing Amharas. A guy who was born into a conservative Moslem family is cashing on Ethiopia’s ancient Judeo Christian relationships for favours from Israel. This is while he is shooting drones at historical monasteries & massacring Orthodox Christians. Amharas have to get out of political correctness & deal with genocide. All the song & dance by Abiy Ahmed’s dialogue commission is to make him an “Ethiopian” president. His Oromo base is collapsing & unsustainable for him....

⚡️TPLF forces loot sacred Tabots and impose liturgical changes at Debre-Medhanit-Eyesus Church in Alamata City (📍North Wollo Zone, Amhara Region, Ethiopia). 🔴 On July 15th, TPLF forces entered Debre-Medhanit-Eyesus Church under the Raya EOTC Diocese and removed several sacred Tabote Tsilat (Tabots), relics regarded as central to the religious identity of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. 🔴 Priests and deacons of Amhara ethnicity serving at the church were subjected to intimidation and persecution during the operation. 🔴 TPLF forces allegedly ordered clergy to stop commemorating His Holiness Abune Dioskoros during the Divine Liturgy and instead commemorate Abba Libanos of the Menbere-Selama. 🔴 Clergy were also instructed to replace the traditional liturgical invocation "Zehagerine Ethiopia" ("of the land of Ethiopia") with "Zehagerine Tigray" ("of the land of Tigray"), marking a significant departure from established Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church liturgical practice. #Amhara_War_Updates...

NEW: Ethiopia's Tigray Orthodox Tewahedo Church Synod has declared the historic town of Axum will officially be known as "Holy Axum of St. Mary of Zion." The declaration is reported to have reignited longstanding tensions over religious rights in the town, including disputes surrounding mosque access, and could bring church doctrine into conflict with Ethiopia's constitutional framework.

The Solomonic Dynasty and Israelite Continuity in Northeast Africa (Ethiopia) and South Arabia The Kəbrä Nägäst, a majestic medieval repository of sacred national memory, records how the Queen of Sheba—Mākkədā, who ruled the ancient Sabaean Kingdom encompassing modern Yemen, Ethiopia, and Eritrea—journeyed to Jerusalem, conceived Əbnä Ḥakīm (Menelik I) with King Solomon, and returned bearing the royal seed that would establish the Davidic line in Ethiopia and Yemen. Emperor Yekuno Amlak invoked this lineage in 1270 to restore the ancient house after the Zagwe interregnum, and the Solomonic emperors ruled with it as their Divine charter until Emperor Haile Selassie I. Ethiopian Orthodoxy bears living witness to this Hebraic foundation: practices such as the Saturday Sabbath (in historical observance), eighth-day circumcision, dietary laws, and the profound veneration of the Ark (Tābōt) reveal a Judeo-Christian synthesis that originates in First Temple-era Judaism and transcends later influences. The Beta Israel (Ethiopian Jews), too, who preserve traditions of descent from the Tribe of Dan or refugees from the Temple’s destruction, maintain ancient Israelite customs amidst the highland kingdoms. These traditions (Christian and Jewish) entwine in the shared religiocultural fabric of an Israelite-infused civilization that resisted Islamic expansion for seven centuries and defeated seven major sultanates while guarding its ancient, biblical heritage and calling. Linguistically, the evidence is equally compelling. Ge’ez and its descendants—Amharic, Tigrinya, and others—belong to the South Semitic branch and are intimately linked to Ancient South Arabian (Sabaic) and rich in Hebrew cognates. The arrival of Ethio-Semitic speech around 2,800-3,000 years ago coincides precisely with the era of heightened Red Sea contact and the biblical Solomonic age, embedding Levantine genetic, cultural, and religious elements into the Horn. Genetically, modern analysis confirms what tradition has long proclaimed: northern Ethiopian populations (Amhara and Tigray) carry approximately 40-60% West Eurasian, Levantine ancestry, introduced roughly 3,000 years ago; which aligns with the introduction of Semitic languages and the Sheba-Solomon timeframe. This Levantine genetic signature, though diluted in some groups through local admixture, reveals the demographic reality behind the elite cultural transmission that formed Solomonic legitimacy. Hence, the Solomonic claim stands not as mere medieval "propaganda," but as the profound synthesis of genetic influx, linguistic kinship, theological continuity, and collective historical memory. It reflects a real, First Temple-era Israelite-Sheban heritage that took root in the Horn of Africa and South Arabia, producing one of history’s most enduring Judeo-Christian (literally) civilizations. The Lion of Judah emblem, which the Solomonic dynasty bore, embodies a bloodline, a faith, and an eschatological vision—thus being unerasable....

This is an excellent paper that examines and or explains Al-Idrisi’s account of the Somali peninsula in the 12th century, one of the most important sources for mediaeval Somali history. During the 11th and 12th centuries, the Somali peninsula (which included present-day Ethiopia and the coastal areas of East Africa) experienced the spread of Islam, the rice of Muslim Sultanates (Muslim Kililoch in Amharic), urban growth, and increasing integration into Indian Ocean trade network. Al-Idrisi describes Janbayta as the main city and the Zayla as the principle port linking the Somali peninsula (Horn of Africa region) with the Red Sea and Indian Ocean. The paper suggests "Janbayta" was like near "Derbi Balanbal" in the Nogob area of the Somali state (Ogaden region) under Ethiopia, and highlights Zayla’s role as a major commercial hub connected to coastal settlements and smaller cities across the region. Ibn Sa’id Al-Maghribi places "Marqatah" at coordinates close to 6°00′N, 43°25′E, near Gode or approximately 30-50 km west-southwest of Gode town, and because of this the author connects "Marqatah” with the Gode area in the Shabeelle zone of the Somali state (Ogaden region) under Ethiopia. Although some of Al-Idrisi's places, names and distances are uncertain, the paper concludes that his work provides a valuable picture of medieval Somalia’s geography, trade, politics and economy, making it an essential source for understanding the history of the Somali peninsula (Horn of Africa). The places discussed in the paper - such as Zayla (on the Red Sea), Janbayta (likely near Derbi Balanbal / Duhun in the Nogob area of the Somali state (Ogaden region) under Ethiopia), Marqatah (possibly near Gode (in the Shabeelle zone of the Somali state (Ogaden region) under Ethiopia), and the Shabeelle river- are in the north-western part of the Somali peninsula. Together, they illustrate the close connections between the Red Sea / Gulf of Aden and the inland caravan routes, which linked the Red Sea trade with highland (present-day northern and south-western Ethiopia) and beyond. Historically, Abyssinia was a region with religious status in the Somali peninsula. In the 16th century, when the Somalis (Muslims) defeated the Abyssinian bandits and pirates, as well as foreign invaders (the Portuguese), they guaranteed freedom to the Jewish community (Falasha) in the highlands (BejaMeder (Bejaland area) in what is now the the Amhara of Ethiopia). Thank you, Calaa ( @Djbawlah ), for researching this forgotten history in the Somali peninsula (Horn of Africa region).
