The Ethiopian–Adal War was a military conflict between the Ethiopian Empire and the Adal Sultanate from 1529 until 1543. The Imam Ahmad ibn Ibrihim al-Ghazi (nicknamed Gurey in Somali and Gragn in Amharic, both meaning "the left-handed") came close to extinguishing the ancient realm of Ethiopia, and converting all of its subjects to Islam; the intervention of the European Cristóvão da Gama, son of the famous navigator Vasco da Gama, helped to prevent this outcome.

  • The Ethiopian–Adal War was a military conflict between the Ethiopian Empire and the Adal Sultanate from 1529 until 1543. The Imam Ahmad ibn Ibrihim al-Ghazi (nicknamed Gurey in Somali and Gragn in Amharic, both meaning "the left-handed") came close to extinguishing the ancient realm of Ethiopia, and converting all of its subjects to Islam; the intervention of the European Cristóvão da Gama, son of the famous navigator Vasco da Gama, helped to prevent this outcome. However, both polities exhausted their resources and manpower in this conflict, allowing the northward migration of the Oromo into their present homelands to the north and west of Addis Ababa. Many historians trace the origins of hostility between Somalia and Ethiopia to this war. Some historians also argue that this conflict proved, through their use on both sides, the value of firearms such as the matchlock musket, cannons, and the arquebus over traditional weapons.
  • La guerre Adal-Éthiopie fut un conflit militaire qui a opposé l’Empire éthiopien et le sultanat d’Adal de 1527 à 1543. Cette guerre fut proche de s’achever par l’anéantissement de l’Empire chrétien par les troupes de l’imam Ahmed ibn Ibrihim al-Ghazi qui convertissaient à l'islam les populations conquises. Les deux parties étaient soutenues chacune par une grande puissance: le sultanat d’Adal par l'Empire ottoman et les Éthiopiens par le Royaume du Portugal. Le rôle de ce pays chrétien européen représenté par Cristovao de Gama fut décisif puisque l’Empire éthiopien remportera le conflit en 1543. Toutefois, cette guerre sera coûteuse et va permettre aux peuples oromos de migrer massivement et de s’installer définitivement en Éthiopie dans les territoires qu’ils habitent aujourd’hui. Selon plusieurs historiens, cette guerre est à l’origine de l’hostilité entre la Somalie et l’Éthiopie .
  • Etiopis-Adal-krigen var en militær konflikt mellom det kristne Keiserriket Etiopia og det muslimske Adal-sultanatet som varte fra 1529 til 1543. Imamen Ahmad ibn Ibrihim al-Ghazi (kjent som Gurey på somali og Gragn/Graññ på amharisk, som begge betyr den venstrehendte) klarte nesten å utslette det elgamle etiopiske riket og å konvertere dets undersåtter til islam. Intervensjonen til den europeiske Cristóvão da Gama, sønnen til den berømte Vasco da Gama, hjalt til med å forhindre dette. Begge landene ble riktignok utmattet av krigen, noe som førte til oromoenes folkevandring nordover, til deres nåværende hjemland nord og vest for Addis Abeba. Mange historikere regner denne konflikten som grunnen til fiendtligheten mellom Somalia og Etiopia. Enkelte mener også at denne konflikten beviste gjennom bruken av skytevåpen på begge sider, som musketter, kanoner og arkebuser, disse våpnenes betydning i forhold til tradisjonelle våpen.
