The Long Wars Fought Between Tigray and Enderta - Enderta Was Raya Amara Before They Forced Them To Join Agame

By the Zemene Mesafint, or Era of Princes (1769–1855), the province of Enderta assumed great prominence when its nobility ascended to power. The beginning of this period is set to the date Ras Mikael Sehul killed Emperor Iyoas (7 May 1769), Ras Suhul Michael after he was defeated by rebels at Sarbakusa in May 1771 however, he was chained, imprisoned for a year in Gondar and let go to Tigray. Upon hearing Michael's predicament, Dejazmach Kefla Yossous, the then hereditary governor of Enderta, challenged Michael for the over-lordship of Tigray and Merebmilash; in the ensuing battle Kefla Yossous was killed.

The two fought many battles but Ras Gebra Meskel was on the losing side; this prompted Wolde Selassie to head for Gondar to claim the governorship of Enderta. When he petitioned the Emperor Tekle Giorgis for that office, the Emperor however, gave the position to Ras Gebra Meskel instead; this angered Wolde Selassie, and he soon quickly marched forth with a small army against Gebra Meskel. He defeated his troops, then entered Gebra Meskel's camp and took him prisoner. Wolde Selassie, after effectively clearing the way for the highest office for himself, headed back to Gondar and placed his claim to the throne. The two Emperors, Tekle Haymanot and Tekle Giyorgis, bestowed Wolde Selassie the titles of both Ras and Bitwoded of the Abyssinian Empire in 1790.[16]

ገብረ is an agame name. ወልደ is an Amara name. ወልደ ሚካኤል is an Amara name. ገብረ ሚካኤል is agame name

Notice all names of Enderta are ወልደ

እንደርታኛ የሚባል ቋንቋ አለ። ልክ አማርኛ ነው የሚመስለው አሉ። ግን tplf እንደርታኛ እንዳይነገር ከልክሎ የሚናገሩትን እያሳደደ ገድሎ ለማጥፋት ብዙ ሞክሯል
