The Battle of Enticho[2] also spelled Battle of Enticaw was a battle that took place between the army of the Ethiopian Emperor Sarsa Dengel and the army of the Ottoman Empire led by Ahmad Pasha along with those of the Bahr Negus Yeshaq. It preceded the decisive Battle of Addi Qarro and resulted in an Ethiopian victory.[3][4]
Aftermath
The two armies met again at the decisive Battle of Addi Qarro in December of the same year where Sarsa Dengel's army liquidated the Ottoman army and killed its commander Ahmad Pasha along with the rebellious Bahr Negus Yeshaq.[5][6] The two consecutive Ethiopian victories[7] effectively crushed the Ottoman army and led to the Ethiopian reconquest of Debarwa.
