Halaba people

The Halaba people (alternate spellings Allaaba or Alaba) also called K’abeena are an ethnic group inhabiting the central Ethiopian highlands.[1] The Halaba claim to originate from the Arab cleric, Abadir who settled in Harar.[2] They are mostly Muslims but there are also some Christians. A map of the region from 1628 shows a Kingdom of Alaba.[3] They speak Alaba-Kʼabeena which is a member of the Highland East Cushitic language within the Afroasiatic family.[4]
