I have studied the history of the Ifat Sultanate and there are a few things missing and information that is slightly incorrect on this site.

Sultanate of Damut

Has anyone heard of the Sultanate of Damut mentioned in this chapter Ethiopia's relations with the Muslim world [1]. It's said that the Walasma migrated from Damut to Ifat (historical region) but I can't find any other information on it which leads me to think it's dubious, and a misinterpretation of Kingdom of Damot Kowal2701 (talk) 20:17, 1 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've come across this state in multiple references but haven't directly researched the topic. The reference you posted seems to credit Ibn Khaldun hence checking the primary source (Kitab al-Ibar) might be worthwhile. Enrico Cerulli states Sultan of Damot was subject to Sultanate of Showa (p.131) [2] Both academia outlets and wikipedia unintentionally distort topics in this area, mainly due to the fact that its understudied. For ex; Sultanate of Showa has been dismissed by modern historians but the vast references on it makes it difficult to delete. Magherbin (talk) 00:56, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea, thank you Kowal2701 (talk) 06:27, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
