  • for the village in Nepal see Hadiya, Nepal Hadiya was a powerful vassal kingdom of Ethiopia, located in southwestern Ethiopia, south of the Abbay River and west of Shewa. It acquired its name from its inhabitants, the Hadiya people. The historical Hadiya area was situated between Kembata, Gamo, and Waj, southwest of Shewa. By 1850 Hadiya is placed north-west of lakes Zway and Langano but still between these areas. It was described in the mid-Fourteenth century by Chihab Al-Umari as measuring eight days' journey by nine (which Richard Pankhurst estimates was 160 by 180 kilometers), and although small it was fertile with fruit and cereals, rich with horses and its inhabitants used pieces of iron as money. It could raise an army of 40,000 cavalry and at least twice as many foot soldiers. The current Hadiya Zone of the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and People's Region, is located approximately where this former kingdom was.
