Changed Posted October 13, 2003 i vote for: Ahmed Gurey he defeated the ethopians Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
koonfur Posted October 14, 2003 This is a good topic. We talk about non-somalis almost all the time like rappers, celebs, sports players and so on. So, now that we talking about true somali hereos is great. Since we are voting for our favorites here, I think a poll would be nice so that can see who gets the most votes. By the way my vote goes to the Sayid. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Muhammad Posted October 14, 2003 do you guys know that the son of Vasko Da Gama, was leading the portugese army that come to the rescue of Ethiopia and defeated Ahmed Gurey and his Army? Think about that next time they teach you about Vasco Da Gama and his expeditions in school! strange that some years ago, I was big fan of the Brazilian soccer team, Vasko De Gama.

OG Moti Posted October 15, 2003 maskiin macruuf loooool sxb ukaaadi bal, i didnt mean that way, what i ment is Ahmed gureey was a muslim guy maybe harari, and gureey was added by sumalis his name was not gureey, anyway i would love to find out he was somali, but i read history of horn africa and there was a doubt of him being somali, any way i totally agree with u 13 guys of SYL were men of courage and honor, www.syl2.s5.com join that club bro.. it is re introducing of famous SYL peace Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jamster Posted October 15, 2003 Nuune, there is good book written in Arabic with the name of Futuuxaat Habasha. His history is well documented there. Good luck with the research-- I hope it would be a fruitful one. Respectively, Farah Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muhammad Posted October 15, 2003 check out this painting: "As we study the patriotic paintings, we find that the subject of warfare is often introduced as in all nations where warfare and patriotism seem inseparable. This is a painting of a Muslim warrior, Ahmed Gran, who was probably the fiercest Muslim warrior to battle the Christians in Ethiopia. He was a 16th Century warrior whose valor was undisputed and whose powers were said to be miraculous. He was impervious to bullets, and his huge sword could severe a tree. He was killed by a combined Portuguese-Ethiopian army. Portrayed in this painting, in the upper left-hand corner, are Portuguese soldiers with rifles, in modern uniforms, and Ethiopian soldiers with white headbands, sword fighting the Muslims who are in green. Also pictured is a tree which Ahmed Gran has sliced with his sword. He claimed bullets would not kill him. As you can see, there are bullet wounds and blood streaming from him. He was killed by the combined Portuguese-Ethiopian soldiers after he devastated much of the highlands of Ethiopia. He invaded several Ethiopian churches and subjected many of the Christian Ethiopians to indignities of all kind." http://www.shorelinemarketing.com/pages/038.htm ----------- Info on: Imam Ahmad ibn Ibrahim (Gurey or Gran): If you want to read up on Imam Ahmad ibn Ibrahim (Gran) start with the chronicle of his campaigns, Chihab ed-Din Ahmed ben Abd El-Qader (Arab Faqih) *Histoire de la Conquete de L'Abyssinie* (trans. Rene Basset), and with the most comprehensive study of the subject, Takla Tsadiq Makwariya's *YaGran Ahmad Warara* (Addis Ababa, 1966 E.C.). All accounts rely on Arab Faqih, but you might also look at Cerulli *Studi Etiopici: I. La Lingua e la Storia di Harar* (plus tons of articles published all over the place), Trimingham *Islam in Ethiopia* and Cuoq *L'Islam en Ethiopie* Dialog on Imam Ahmad ibn Ibrahim (Gran) and Queen Gudit English: J.S., Islam of Ethiopia, 1952, pp.84-90.

Aqoonla'aani Waa Iftiin La'aan! It was actually Christopher Da Gama , Vasco Da Gama's brother who came to help the Ethiopians against Ahmed Gurey.However upon landing in Ethiopia half the army of 400 portugese soldiers and their leader Christopher Da Gama were ambushed by Ahmed Gurey and subsequently killed in the ensuing battle.So dhaweyn fiican dheh.
