History
This polity was marred with internal conflicts between Harla and Arabs.[3] In 1647, the rulers of the Emirate of Harar broke away to form their own polity. imams of the city of Harar continued to have a presence in the southern Afar Region until they were overthrown in the eighteenth century by the Mudaito dynasty of Afar who later established the Sultanate of Aussa.[4] The last ruler of the dynasty, Imam Selman was killed in 1750.[5] According to Heloise Mercier, the inhabitants of Harar who had migrated to Aussa were unable to maintain their customs and dialect contrary to those who lingered in Harar.[6] Enrico Cerulli asserts although Aussa became dominated by Afar people, the ancient Semitic speaking Muslim kingdom survived in the form of the Emirate of Harar post 1700s.[7]
