The Sultanate of Aussa was a kingdom that existed in the Afar Region in eastern Ethiopia from the 18th to the 20th century.
It was considered to be the leading monarchy of the Afar people, to whom the other Afar rulers nominally acknowledged primacy.
The Ethiopian Empire nominally laid claim to the region but were met with harsh resistance. Due to their skills in desert warfare, the Afars managed to remain independent, unlike other similar groups in the region.[3]
The Sultan Yayyo visited Rome along with countless other nobility from across East Africa to support the creation of Italian East Africa.[4] This marked the end of the region's independence and it was disestablished and incorporated into Italian East Africa as a part of the Eritrean Governorate and the Harar Governorate.
