Muhammad ibn 'Ali 'Abd ash-Shakur
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Muhammad ibn 'Ali 'Abd ash-Shakur was the Emir of Harar, Ethiopia (1856–1875). With the help of Oromo leaders, Muhammad usurped the throne 30 August 1856 and persecuted his own people. The native Harari appealed to khedive Isma'il of Egypt, who then directed Ra'uf Pasha, in command of the military expedition that had annexed Zeila and Berbera to Egypt in 1870, to march on Harar.
IsnahAlahRa'uf Pasha occupied Harar in 1875, according to Trimingham, "without encountering any resistance except for some from the Galla tribes. So ended the independence of the petty city-state of Harar after less than two centuries."[1]
