Garad Abun Ibn Adash[1] (Harari: አቦኝ አደሼ) was a Harari Emir of the Adal Sultanate.[2][3][4] He was the de facto ruler of Adal reducing the Adal sultan to nominal leader. In this period Sultan Abu Bakr ibn Muhammad would move Adal's capital to Harar city after killing emir Abun in order to regain influence in Adal.[5][6][7]

Reign

Garad Abun Adashe ruled from 1518 to 1525 and led a campaign against the Walashma dynasty. Adashe campaigned against Sultan Abu Bakr ibn Muhammad; however he was decisively defeated at Harar his own base and Abu Bakr successfully invaded Harar with the assistance of Somali militias.[8][9][10] Imam Ahmed Al Ghazi served as an advisor and respected infantryman for Adashe against the Walashma forces.[11][12] After his loss, Ahmed Gurey avenged his sultan's death and killed Abu Bakr.[13]
