Aze (chief)
Aze was the Garad (chief) of the Hadiya seven houses which consisted of Siltʼe, Wolane, Ulbarag, Azernet, Barbare, Wuriro, and Gadabano, speakers of Semitic Harari language.[1][2] He was defacto ruler of the Hadiya state.[3] During the reign of Emperor Sarsa Dengel of Ethiopia, Aze initiated a revolt after killing the Abyssinian administrator Rom Sagad in Hadiya which led to his defeat at the Battle of Hadiya in 1569.[4][5]
