It discusses the three phases of the population movements in the region. The southward and the northward mobility of the people and the settlement pattetns in the Horn of Africa. It raises the main causes of mobilities, which were dyanstic wars, evnivromental distresses and pastoral factors. The mobile character of the royal capital of the Christian kingdom and deployment of military regiments were intentional mobility and settlement. The paper underscores how these continual mobility and settelemt had shaped the cultural and demographic landscape of the Ethiopia and the Horn of Africa.

Gabriel, une église médiévale d’Éthiopie, 2012

Pour tenter d'y répondre, un site fut choisi, Meshala Maryam dans le Manz (Sawa), où une église royale avait été fondée par un souverain éthiopien dans la seconde moitié du XVe siècle. De nombreuses traces au sol aux alentours de l'enceinte de l'église laissaient penser que se trouvaient-là les vestiges du camp royal. Plusieurs campagnes de fouilles ont eu lieu à Meshala Maryam entre 1998 et 2001. Elles ont été étendues à un autre site, l'église de Gabriel, qui s'est avéré beaucoup plus riche en informations que le présumé camp royal. Cet ouvrage rend compte à la fois de l'impossibilité de trouver le camp royal à Meshala Maryam malgré tous les efforts entrepris, mais aussi de la découverte de l'église de Gabriel, petit bâtiment ayant abrité de nombreuses sépultures privilégiées et un mobilier de grande valeur. Par le croisement des sources archéologiques, des sources orales et des textes anciens c'est l'histoire de ces deux sites et leur construction mémorielle qui prend corps

This ideology was based on the national epic of Kəbra Nagast (Glory of Kings) that narrates the legendary visit of Queen Sheba to King Solomon (971-931 BC) of the Bible. It gives the Judaic origin to both the church and the state of the Christian kingdom of Ethiopia. It highlighted the unity of the Christian kingdom under the promised Land of Ethiopia in the model of Israel. This legendary origin was intended to defend the widely spreading Muslim kingdoms that threatened to dominate the fragmented Christian polities. The Christians were limited in the narrow highlands of the Northern Ethiopia and part of Eritrea. The legend revitalized and united these Christian polities and strengthened them to confront the expanding power of Islam in the Horn of Africa. Eventually, it allowed them to establish intended unity and they created an unprecedented powerful kingdom in the Horn of Africa. This paper proposes how the shebanization process interrelated the multicultural peoples of the Horn to forge the birth of the Ethiopian nation in medieval period.

They live in diverse parts of the country, but the largest number of Wärğəḥ are found in north Šäwa and near Dəre Dawa. In north Šäwa, the community of Wärğəḥ has established scattered pockets of villages between Däbrä Berhan and Säbäta towns. Linguistically, they speak Oromo and also Amharic. Fragmentary medieval Ethiopian historical sources describe the Wärğəḥ as inhabitants of the lowlands of south-east Šäwa. They were herdsmen, particularly camel keepers. Post-16th century sources record that the Wärğəḥ transformed their way of life to become traders following the great medieval caravan trade routes. Due to their resistance against expansions, they were described as warriors and a ferocious people. For the purpose of this paper, we have gathered oral accounts from 13 local villages of north Šäwa to identify how these people reconstruct their history and to understand how all these villages networked wit...
