  1. WOW! Are you really Azael or just pulling my leg!!!??? Know one knows you and if you are her I got to meet you! If your not and just know stuff best stop talking about her...SERIOUSLY!


  2. Azael, are you looking for Minjo?

    Here is a list of the kings of Kaffa, maybe they might be able to assist thee.

    The Kingdom of Kaffa was founded approximately c.1390 by Minjo. The first capital Bonga was either founded or captured by Bong-he; it was later replaced by Anderaccha, but Bonga retained its importance.

    During the 16th century, all of the territories north of the Gojeb River were lost to the Oromo migrations; however, the Kaffa kings compensated for this by annexing the neighboring small Gimira states, and in the later 18th century brought the neighboring state of Walamo under their control.

    Also in the later 16th century, the Emperor of Ethiopia Sarsa Dengel convinced the kingdom to officially accept Christianity as its state religion. As a result, the church of St. George was dedicated at Baha; the building preserved a tabot bearing the name of Emperor Sarsa Dengel. Over the following centuries the influence of the Ethiopian government grew weak, and Christianity more or less disappeared, although the church of St. George was used as a "male house of ritual of George" until late in the 19th century when Christian practices were reintroduced.

    The last Kaffa king, Gaki Sherocho, resisted for months the combined armies of Walda Giyorgis, Ras Damisse, and King Abba Jifar II of Jimma, until he was captured 11 September 1897, and was first sent to Ankober, then to Addis Ababa. Kaffa was then held as a fief by Walda Giyogis until 1914. The inhabitants suffered greatly from slave-raiding in the reign of Iyasu V, and the region almost became uninhabited.

    During the reorganization of the provinces in 1942, the former kingdom was enlarged by the addition of a number of other kingdoms from the Gibe region to become Kaffa Province.
