Machbuba
Mahbuba (Arabic: محبوبة / maḥbūba c. 1825 – 27 October 1840) was an Oromo girl taken to Germany as a slave. She helped lay the foundations for Oromo Studies in Europe by reciting her oral traditions through song. Mahbuba, Ajiamé, Bilillee The subject of this article is most often called ‘Mahbuba’ or ‘Machbuba’, which is an Arabic name that means ‘beloved’. She appears to have been given this name after being sold as a slave. Elsewhere she is called 'Ajiamé' or 'Agiamé', which is also derived from the Arabic term ʿaǧamī. But her birth name was probably ' Bilillee' or 'Birillee'. Life Some details of Bilillee's early life are unclear, but it appears that she was born in the Kingdom of Gumma, in present-day Ethiopia. She was captured with her sister during local fighting, and, while still a child, taken by slave traders to Cairo. It was there in 1837 that she was purchased by Prince Hermann Ludwig Heinrich von Pückler-Muskau. In a letter to his w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ethiopian Slaves
Ethiopians are the native inhabitants of Ethiopia, as well as the global diaspora of Ethiopia. Ethiopians constitute several component ethnic groups, many of which are closely related to ethnic groups in neighboring Eritrea and other parts of the Horn of Africa. The first documented use of the name "Ethiopia" from Greek name "Αἰθίοψ" (Ethiopian) was in the 4th century during the reign of Aksumite king Ezana. There were three ethnolinguistic groups in the Kingdom of Aksum; Semitic, Cushitic, and Nilo-Saharan (ancestors of the modern-day Kunama and Nara). The Kingdom of Aksum remained a geopolitically influential entity until the pillage of its capital — also named Axum — in the 10th century by Queen Gudit. Nevertheless, the core Aksumite civilization was preserved and continued into the successive Zagwe dynasty. By this time, new ethnic groups emerged – the Tigrayans and Amharas. During the Solomonic period, the latter established major political and cultural ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
