![]() According to Abbé João Bermudes, Imam Ahmad received 2000 musketeers from Arabia, and artillery and 900 picked men from the Ottomans. Ahmed sent for armed assistance from the Ottoman Empire in Arabia. Ahmed and his forces spent the rainy season at Zobil Mountain (east of Kobo) while the Ethiopian forces stayed at near Lake Ashenge. This marked the first use of firearms by the Abyssinian military. In April 1542 the two armies met north of Lake Hashenge (near Korem ). The Ethiopians asked for help from the Portuguese, who arrived at port of Massawa on February 10, 1541. This infamous period of conflict was known as the Ethiopian-Adal War. However, in the 16th century, the Angot now Raya area was the site of an important conflict in Ethiopian history between the armies of the General of Adal, Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Ghazi, known better amongst Ethiopians as Imam Ahmed Gragn, and the Abyssinian forces of Lebna Dengel. Much of the early conflict took place further south on the eastern border of what is now Shewa. This area has been involved in disputes between the Christian highlanders and Muslims from the east since the time of the Ifat Sultanate (13th century). In medieval Ethiopia, much of Kobo was part of Angot, a province predominantly inhabited by the Qeda people, who spoke a language similar to Amharic. Kobo is part of a mid-altitude area which lies between the Ethiopian Highlands to the west and the Afar Depression to the east. | COUNTRIES | Geographic.This section possibly contains original research.
