The Makhzumi dynasty also known as Sultanate of Shewa or Shewa Sultanate, was a Muslim kingdom in present-day Ethiopia. Its capital Walale was situated in northern Hararghe in Harla country.[2][3][4] Its territory extended possibly to some areas west of the Awash River.[5] The port of Zeila may have influenced the kingdom.[6] The rise of the Makhzumi state at the same time resulted in the decline of the Kingdom of Axum.[7] Several engravings dating back to the 13th century showing the presence of the kingdom are found in Chelenqo, Bale, Harla near Dire Dawa and Munesa near Lake Langano.[8]
It has recently been proposed that Shewa was not a unified Sultanate but rather a collection of smaller, autonomous political entities.[9]
