Dankali Sultanate
Dankali, also known as Dancaly, Dancale, Dandali and Dangalli was a medieval Muslim kingdom ruled by the Afar people located in the Horn of Africa.
The people to the north, living along the coast, came to be known as the Ankala. Some scholars have suggested that the name Dankali—Danakil in its plural form, may be an Arabized version of Ankala. According to the Anthropological Society of Paris, the word Dankali may have been derived Arab word "Djangali" meaning stupid or the Amharic word "Donkoro" meaning weak. The term “Dankali” could also be traced back to the Afar language and is derived from the words “dan” (meaning “people” or “nation”) and “kali” (referring to the Afar Region).[citation needed] Somali's referred to these Afars as Udali (Adal)
The earliest surviving written mention of the Dankali is from the 13th-century Andalusian writer Ibn Sa'id, who reported that the domain of the Danakil inhabited the area around the port of Suakin, as far south as Bab-el-Mandeb.
According to an Ethiopian royal chronicle, the ruler of Dankali on the occasion of Baede Maryam's conquest against the Dobe'a offered him military support. In his pledge to help combat the Dobe'a. James Bruce stated that he had gifted the Emperor a horse and a mule laden with dates, together with a shield made of elephant hide and two spears. With a message attached stating:
"I have set up my camp, Oh my master, with the intention of stopping these people. If they are your enemies, I will not let them pass, and will seize them".
Baede Maryam replied with warm appreciation, saying "You have done well; do not let them enter your territory".
In Suseynos' chronicle, it reports that the Dankali king Kamil had recently overthrown his brother Sahim, had travelled up to the Emperor's camp at Dehana in 1620. He prostrated himself in front of Emperor Suseynos and appealed for his protection. The monarch therefore crowned him, made celebration for him, confirmed his royalty and established a tribute that half of his taxes collected in his country. Several members of Kamil's family were later brought up in the Emperor's court.
According to Pedro Paez however, it was the son of Sahim who had overthrown Kamil:
