Шаблон:Orphan The Battle of Jigjiga was fought on March 5, 1900 between The Abyssinians and the Dervishes.[1] Шаблон:Infobox military conflict
The Ethiopian empire sent an expedition to capture Mohammed Abdullah Hassan. Failing to locate him they indiscriminately looted the local Somalis.[2][3]
In response, in the first major attack by the Dervishes, Muhammad Abdullah Hassan with his army successfully stormed the Ethiopian garrison at Jigjiga and recovered all their stolen herds.[4]
The British Vice-Consul at Harar reported:
"The Abyssinians, it seems, fear the Somalis very much. I have never seen men so afraid as they are now; they have given rifles to the children to show they have troops here."[5]
After the battle, The whole Ogaden region was at Hassan’s disposal causing an international issue.[6]
