Garad Abogn ibn Adish ruled from 1518 to 1525 and led a campaign against the Walashma dynasty. Abogn 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.[9][10][11] Imam Ahmed Al Ghazi served as an advisor and respected infantryman for Abogn against the Walashma forces.[12][13] After his loss, Imam Ahmed avenged his sultan's death and killed Abu Bakr.[14]
