Hargaya

Hargaya was a Muslim polity of the Harar plateau, east of the Awash River, among the principalities that formed the wider region of Adal. Its rulers bore the title garad. In the fourteenth century its people chose Imam Salih to fight the forces of the Ethiopian emperor Amda Seyon. Hargaya's warriors later appear in accounts of Imam Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Ghazi's sixteenth-century campaigns against Christian Ethiopia.
