Period of Activity
He was the governor of Dāmot↗ at the end of 16th century. It was the time of massive Oromo offensive and governors of the most endangered areas had to play the role of the vanguard regiment and to hold the enemy in check until the arrival of the royal army from the centre. In this regard, ʾAsbo fullfilled this task successfully and is known in history as a commander who routed an Oromo raid and rescued fromOromo captivity a noble youth - the future ʾaṣe role: title Susǝnyos to whom he was loyal until his death.
