Ennarea

Ennarea, or Hinnario in the Gonga tongue, was a kingdom in the Gibe region of the southwestern Ethiopian highlands. Ruled by the Hinnare Bushasho clan, it had been a province of Damot.

Ennarea broke away in the fourteenth century and made Kaffa a tributary. Oromo attacks began in 1578; during a brief occupation in 1588, Emperor Sarsa Dengel marched south and converted its elite to Christianity. Around 1710 the Sadacha overran Ennarea, and King Shisafotchi led his people into exile in Kaffa.
