Queen Arawelo: the queen who destroyed the Aksum & Aksumite Empire
Posted: 24 Nov 2023, 06:27
Queen Arawelo (aka Gudit in the Abyssinian society) was the queen of the Horn of Africa region known as the “Somali Peninsula Region”, and she destroyed the Aksumite Empire which was originally built by the Agaw and the Somalis peoples. Like many female rulers, Queen Arawelo fought for female empowerment. Under her reign, it was also common for men to have their testicles tortured as a form of punishment, including punishments that involved hanging them by the testicles.
The Oromo were not present in the Horn of Africa at that time, but rather they invaded the land of the Somalis and Abyssinians (Amharas) after the Portuguese defeated the Muslims (Somali) during the time of Imam Ahmed Gurey. It is clear that the Somalis ruled the Ethiopians at least three times, but it is not mentioned in history that the Abyssinians (Amharas) ruled the Somalis. The Afars were part of the Somalis and the Abyssinians (Amharas) as well, and when they faced a threat from the Abyssinians (Amharas), they were always helped by their Somali brothers. Tigrayans also were un Amharas.
Why was the Aksumite empire destroyed? The reason is that the Tigrayans obstructed commercial and community movement in the region, plundered commercial convoys, and attacked neighboring communities in the region. Therefore, the queen ended the rebellions and plundering in the region.
