Muhammad Nadi Pasha

Muhammad Nadi Pasha (born in 1836 – death date unknown), energetic powerful General who served as a Deputy Governor of Sudan, then was promoted to the rank of Mirmiran and served as Governor General of Harar and its independents, the area which is now include all Somalia, Djibouti, Eritrea and East Ethiopia. During the Egyptian British war which led to the British occupation of Egypt, Nadi pasha served as Governor General of Harar and also Acting Governor General of Sudan. Under his leadership, the greater security reigned in the region and all people considered him a good governor.

In Harar, Nadi Pasha managed to force the troops to observe a strict discipline and organized the city police. It's also up to him the honor of having raised the walls of Harar.

Nadi Pasha always regarded trade as essential to the prosperity of Harar, especially trade with the Europeans. He encouraged the "white" to undertake the business of the city and insisted on the idea that the main wealth of the country was in agriculture. The presentation of his views on this subject to the Royal Society of Geography is well known.

Nadi Pasha allowed, on the other hand, the Catholic Mission to freely practice her religion in Harar and even allowed the ringing of bells, thus giving, in a city where there was a strong fanaticism, a remarkable example of tolerance.

Nadi Pasha was the one who put an end to the arduous work, carried out by the Egyptian soldiers. He also played a major role in ending slavery trade in the Horn of Africa.

At the end of his career in 1897, Nadi Pasha was appointed Prince of Pilgrimage (Hajj).
