Historical Muslim town located in present-day eastern Ethiopia
For the capital city of Senegal, see Dakar.
Dakkar (Harari: ደከር Däkkär , Somali: Doggor), also known as Dakar, or Deker, was a historical Muslim town located in present-day eastern Ethiopia. It served as the first capital of the Adal Sultanate after its founding in the early 15th century by Sabr ad-Din III.[1]
The writer of the sixteenth century chronicle "Futuh al-Habasha" Arab Faqīh suggests it was in close proximity with Harar.[2] Enrico Cerulli, Bahru Zewde and other historians identify Dakkar as being located one km southeast of Harar.[3][4][5][6][7][8] However, Richard Pankhurst states that the city was situated near the village of Funyan Bira and G. W. B. Huntingford believes that it was in the town of Chinaksen near Jigjiga.[9][10]
