over 200.000 habasha were defeated by 12.600 Imam ahmed gureys army. with 5000 somalis and 7000 others. the somalis fled him first so he took them back at sword point.. they thought it was a suicidal battle and that they were outnumbered.. they say faith can move Mountains.. he was a truly believer.

mind blowing.. this video speaks about it in great details and remember there was not canons, rifles etc etc nor ottomans were there..


adaris song for the Imam..

it was not 200,000 ethiopians they only outnumbered the muslims 2 to 1.
quite a victory however because you need to consider the added difficulty of commanding a multi ethnic, multi lingual muslim army against a solid united christian block.
it was like herding cats..
it shows that imaam ahmed was on the same level of skill as Hanibal Hamilcar Barca.
