Islamic state
Originally an Islamic state ruled by a Garad and later a Hegano, Ganz was part of the unsuccessful Islamic alliance that opposed Amda [Seyon I] in the 1320s. The polity allied with the Sultanate of Adal again in Ahmedudin Badlay's war to retake Dawaro from Abyssinian control, but Ganz was defeated and became an Abyssinian province.Imam Ahmed Gurey's forces recaptured Ganz during his jihad, but the territory returned to Abyssinian control soon after his death.
