  • Gragna Ahmed was a harrari hated Christians for killing his dad, who happened to be a Christian. Somalia is like 47 years old and you can count 16 years out of that 47 years because they torn their own country to pieces!

  • I know it is hard for some to imagine that a non-Amhara can actually unify Ethiopia, Somalia, and Eritrea by force so they feel compelled to make Imam Ahmed half Amhara. Ethiostruggle we are talking history here and not fairytales. If you want to learn about his heritage watch the other part of the video.

  • malasay, is it possible to have sub tittle in English?

  • Insha'Allah soon.

  • Prof. Lapiso is discussing one of the major wars that was waged by Imam Ahmed, known as Gragn, at Shumbura Kuri. However, Imam Ahmed is not a Somali - according to Prof. Lapiso he is from the people of Harla. Axmed Gurey, who was a somali and a brave fighter, was on of his generals.

  • wow thansks to God, this cult(amhed grane) is not Ethiopian.He is somalian or arab cool..

  • he married Bati del Wambara, not fucking Dele-wan-bara.

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAHHAHA!!! how the fuck can he be a afar if he is from a Somali clan, and came from a Somali city!

  • dude, why do you think Somalians and ethiopians hate eachother so much? it's because of THAT WAR!!! we have been enmies for almost 600 years, we HATE eachother, why do you think ethiopian soldiers are dragged true the streets of mogadishu that lies thousands of miles south of zeila? because they hate eachother cuz of that war! so don't try to denie that ahmed was a somali and don't try to say that his troops were freaking Afars.

  • Àhmed gura? his name is AHMED GUREY in somali and gragn in ethiopian, he is 100% ethnic somali and there is evidence on that. the Ethiopians thod he was a Arab, but the somalis have evidance on that he was a somali, he was from the fucking DIR clan that lives in from Zeila to djibouti , to dire dawa, dire dawa means where the dir putted his spear, man your insane, where did you get all that bull shit from ?

  • OMG!!!!! i can't belive it.....it was a MUSLIM army not a freaking afari army, it was a Somali muslim army. omg...what the fuck is wrong with you .the imaams army was a very advanced army compared to the ethiopian army, the muslims had canons and guns, meanwhile the ethiopians were armed with spears and shields, and you said Afar tribes men? Afars don't even know how to milk a fucking camel.
