Polanyi Posted April 13, 2010 On June 1, the first engagement of the war commenced in the Vilcabamba valley. The Inca people attacked first with much spirit despite being only lightly armed. Again and again, they attempted to lift the siege held by the Spanish and their native allies but each time they were forced to retreat. On June 23 the fort of Huayna Pucará surrendered to Spanish artillery fire. The Inca army now in retreat opted to abandon their last city and head for the jungle to regroup. On June 24 the Spanish entered Vilcabamba to find it deserted and the Sapa Inca gone. The city had been entirely destroyed, and the Inca Empire, or what was left of it, officially ceased to exist. Events began unfolding an ocean away in the land known now as Somalia, where the regional power, the Christian Kingdom of Ethiopia, had begun to attack the Muslim Sultanate of Adal, (which was formerly part of Ethiopia), located in Somalia, and mounted a raid on the city of Hubat in the early 1500’s. The Ethiopians took many Muslim women and children during their incursion as well. The mujahid, Ahmad Ibn Ibrahim ‘Al Ghazi131,’ under the command of his Emir, Umar Al Din, like his brothers today, refused to be cowed down by the Ethiopians mushrikeen and decided to counter attack the Ethiopians and defeated the Ethiopians, free all the Muslim women and children held prisoner withouteven the loss of a single man. Imam Ahmad’s force regressed towards Harar, the capital of Sultan Abu Bakr’s Sultanate. The sultans, being weak and favorable to the Christians, feared meeting Imam Ahmad and his mujahideen and thus fled the capital wherein they encountered Imam Ahmed in battle. Sultan Abu Bakr’s troops one again fled and were allowed to flee by Imam Ibrahim, (as the ruling of the Baghi would be applied upon Sultan Abu Bakr, and thus when his forces were weakened, Imam Ahmad was not allowed to pursue and annihalate them as they retreated). Thus Imam Ahmad’s troops established themselves in Harar, but Sultan Abu Bakr, the obstinate rebel attacked Harar once again, causing Imam Ahmad’s men to retreat to Hubat once again. Unlike Imam Ahmad, Sultan Abu Bakr pursued Imam Ahmad and besieged them in Hubat leading to the death of Emir Umar Al Din. A truce was struck between Imam Ahmad and Sultan Abu Bakr, but once again, (and repeatedly), he broke the agreement and killed many of Imam Ahmad’s men. This cycle of equitable truces offered to Sultan Abu Bakr continued, until finally the last attempt at peace failed and Sultan Abu Bakr attacked Imam Ahmad and his men for the third time, leading to Sultan Abu Bakrs death and defeat. Imam Ahmad finally cemented his hold of Harar and gave rulership of the lands to Umar Al Din’s brother, allowing Imam Ahmad more time to concentrate of jihad. With the scenes of such victory against the lackeys of the Christians, the Muslims of the town of Adal refused to pay tribute payments to the Ethiopians, to which the Ethiopians decided to dispatch their troops to Adal to force them to pay. As was expected, by the will of Allah ( سبحان ﻪو تعلى ) Imam Ahmad and his men destroyed the Ethiopans on the field. Imam Ahmed had decided to fight further into Ethiopia to spread the deen and to once and for all end Ethiopian tyranny by launching a counter assault into Ethiopia in 1527. He ralled the various tribes of the area to wage jihad against the Ethiopian mushrikeen. It must rememberd that this was jihad and not simply a tribal dispute as, “…although Somali clans -- principally the Habar Magadle, Isse, (***), the Gadaburrsi Diir, and the Daroood -- played a strong role in the Imam's conquest of Abyssinia, these clans went to war not so much as Somalis but as Muslims, (Laitin & Samatar, 12).” Imam Ahmad defeated the mushrikeen at the Battle of Shimbra Kure in 1529 with the help of Uthmani weapons sent by the khalifa. The jihad continued as the Ethiopans continued to resist. Eventually, as the Muslim forces of Imam Ahmad progressed further into Ethiopian territory, the Ethiopians asked for help from the Portugese crusaders. http://www.kalamullah.com/Books/TheIncompleteHistory-AndalusAfter1492.pdf The traditions from which these intellectual traditions had emerged had diffused throughout Hausaland, Nupe and Yorubaland by 1835. The books of Shehu Uthman Dan Fuduye’, Muhammad Bello and especially Abdullahi Dan Fuduye’ were memorized by the scholars of Illorin and Nupe, not to speak of the scholars of Hausaland. We can safely assume that if there were indeed full-fledged Muslim scholars captured and enslaved in Bahia, they were quite familiar with the ideas of Shehu Uthman and his chief helpers. Especially since Illorin and Nupe were under the political jurisdiction of the Sokoto Caliphate. There were at least ten Muslim scholars who conceived, organized and led the revolt of 1835. Shaykh Dandara, Shaykh Sanim, Malam Bubakar Ahuna, Malam Bilal Licutan, Imam Manuel Calafate, Silvestre Jose Antonio, Antonio, Thomas, Dassala, and Nicobe. These men established mosque and Islamic madrasas (schools) for the purpose of keeping alive the Islamic traditions that had generated the Sudanese Islamic states in Africa. Some of these scholars were Yoruba, some Hausa, and some were Nupe. A few of these scholars were freemen and merchants, while others remained enslaved to men whom they considered barbarian. Many court records of 1835 reveal that a strong movement of Islamic conversion and proselytism was under way in Bahia during the 1830s. It was the above scholars who were essentially responsible for this growth in the ranks of the Muslims.162 In order to understand the revolt of 1835, closer examination should be made of these scholars. ASWRB. Somalia is under attack and Somalis must defend their country…Anybody who sides with Ethiopia will be considered a traitor ...... the Islamic courts will lead the people to victory…"-21 July 2006 Guetamala Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
