Adal, Harar plateau, Zeila
Traduction non disponible · Original (anglais) · français indisponible
Se'adedin was a Walasma prince and, with his brother Haqedin II, a founder of the Walasma kingdom of Adal. After Haqedin's death, he ruled Adal independently and led repeated attacks against the Christian frontier provinces of Dawaro and Bali. His campaigns brought him renown among Muslim writers, but Emperor Dawit defeated him, captured him at Zeila, and had him executed in 1403.

Le récit
Se'adedin belonged to the Walasma family of Ifat and helped establish a new political centre around the Harar plateau with his brother Haqedin II. Together they gave new force to an anti-Christian Muslim movement in the eastern Ethiopian region. Their dynasty soon overshadowed earlier holders of the title “king of Adal” and became the principal authority between Harar and the Gulf of Aden.
After Haqedin II died, Se'adedin assumed full powers in Adal and renewed the struggle against the Christian empire. He concentrated his attacks on Dawaro and Bali, frontier provinces that had been incorporated into Christian Ethiopia. His forces carried away cattle and slaves as booty, and their successes repeatedly disturbed the security of the eastern frontier during the closing decades of the fourteenth century.
Se'adedin's fortunes changed during his final confrontation with Emperor Dawit, who ruled the Christian empire from 1380 to 1412. Dawit launched energetic campaigns into the Harar plateau and repeatedly defeated the Walasma prince. In 1403, he pursued Se'adedin to Zeila, where Se'adedin was captured and executed.
The death of Se'adedin weakened Muslim power temporarily and forced his family into a period of exile in Arabia. Yet the Walasma dynasty did not disappear. With assistance from the Rasulid ruler of Yemen, Se'adedin's sons later returned with Arab auxiliaries and restored Walasma authority in Adal.
