Who Are Habesha?

The Habesha are located in the highlands of Eritrea and Ethiopia.

In Ethiopia, the Habesha are from the North part of Ethiopia, specifically, the Tigre, the Agew, the Beta Israel and the Amhara.

During the Axumite Empire, in the first century, Sabaean traders from Southern Arabia came into the region and intermarried with the natives,. Their offspring were called “Habesha” which means “people of mixed blood”.

Their land was later called Abyssinia. Abyssinia was later merged with the South and West to form Ethiopia.
