Wargar

The Wargar (Harari: ወርጋር) also spelled as Wergar were a clan inhabiting the Adal region, first mentioned in the fourteenth century chronicles of Emperor Amda Seyon I of Ethiopia as allies of Imam Salih.

In the sixteenth century, the overlord of Zeila Abogn Wargar, accompanied Adal leader Ahmed ibn Ibrahim al-Ghazi during the Ethiopian-Adal War.

Wargar is described as a Harla sub clan within the Harari people. According to Harari tradition, it was then that, to defend themselves, seven clans of the neighbouring villages united against a common adversary, including Wargar, to form a Harar city-state.
