Hi sean. It is an interesting article. it seems to me you are traveling in Ethiopia to explore a history of nations in Ethiopia. I wonder how you started in Harar then interested to go up north some few hundred miles from where you are to know some about and then want to come back East to go to somaliland (I believe Ogaden) and keep doing your research or adventure to know more about that region. One person could have his own interest in what he study or his own interest in what he like to explore but in dismissing the reality no one could go far. what I want to say is you are in the middle of Oromo land (Oromia) but you failed to say something about this vast country and social oromo people. I know you are doing your own research but you can mention some about Oromo and Harari people social and other relations, how Harari encompassed in that small area, where the Harari came from and How they got a refugee in that region and so on. I still know it is hard to cover everything cover everything in this short article but it is that region Oromo who shares more in common with Harari than Tigray university and Tewodros, Maqdala. So, My advise to you is don't be biased or follow what you have told from some history distorting people. In general I want to here some from you about Oromo
