Battle of Embabo
The Battle of Embabo was fought 6 June 1882, between the Shewan forces of ''Negus'' Menelik II and the Gojjame forces of ''Negus'' Tekle Haymanot. The forces fought to gain control over the Oromia Region south of the Gibe River.〔Shinn, p. 67〕 The Gojjame forces under Tekle Haymanot were defeated. This is one of the three battles (along with Chelenqo and Adwa) which Donald Donham lists that led to Shewan supremacy over the rest of Ethiopia.〔Donald Donham, "Old Abyssinia and the new Ethiopian empire: themes in social history" in ''The Southern Marches of Imperial Ethiopia'' (Oxford: James Currey, 2002), p. 23〕
==Background==
South of Gojjam, across the Abay River, and southwest of Shewa, lay the fertile Gibe region and the gold deposits beyond. Both polities craved control of these resources in order to assert dominance over the rest of Ethiopia. Of the two, the Gojjame had the earlier start and better position: as early as 1810, a large volume of luxury trade passed North through Gojjam (and its major market at Boso) to the coast of the Red Sea, far more than passed east through Shewa to the coast. ''Negus'' Bofo of Limmu-Ennarea maintained good relations with the contemporary governor of Gojjam.〔Mohammed Hassen, ''The Oromo of Ethiopia: A History 1570–1860'' (Trenton: Red Sea, 1994), pp. 133–138〕 A letter survives from his son Abba Bagibo to ''Dejazmach'' Goshu Zewde, seeking an alliance against a mutual foe.〔Mohammed Hassen, ''The Oromo'', pp. 176–180〕
The armies of Shewa and Gojjam had clashed earlier in 1882. The Shewan was led by ''Ras'' Gobana Dacche, and the Gojjame by ''Ras'' Darrasu, a deputy of ''Negus'' Tekle Haymanot; ''Ras'' Gobana had forced his opponent to surrender the tribute he was bringing back to Tekle Haymanot. Humiliated, Tekle Haymanot exchanged angry words with his peer, Menelik II, which resulted with the two potentates leading their armies to face one another at Embabo near the Guder River.〔Harold G. Marcus, (1995). ''The Life and Times of Menelik II: Ethiopia 1844–1913'' (Lawrenceville: Red Sea Press, 1995), p. 69 ISBN 1-56902-010-8〕
