He resided there until he became regent in 1916.
 Seven Months tO Conquer
 The Dedjazmach Nasibu, governor of Harrar, and the Turkish General Wahib Pasha, World War hero Of the Dardeneliles campaign, fortified Jigjiga and Harrar so strongly that 1t took Graziani seven months or constant fighting to carry their posi- tions.
