DANÂKIL – ZAYLA‘I AND HARLA : CONFLICTS AND POPULATION MOVEMENTS ASSUMPTIONS ABOUT THE OLD AFAR SETTLEMENT [Abstract ID: 0501-02]
‘Afar, Harla, Danâkil, Ad ‘ali are well-known ethnonyms, however their reality is little known in the early times. Through the written and oral documents available, we propose to paint a commented picture of the population movements that animated the region between southern Eritrea and the region of Zeyla from the 13th century to the modern era. The aim is to rethink the movements of ancient populations and ethnonyms in order to formulate hypotheses that could justify the "disappearance" of a population like the Harla as well as the real place of the Afar populations in the African space in time.
