However, Negus Menelik had worried about a surprise attack, and kept his men at alert.The emir's men opened fire at 11:00 am. The Shewan soldiers quickly responded and routed the Harari infantry with few casualties. Menelik pursued the retreating emir to Harar, whose ancient walls would not long resist his assault. Once again 'Abd Allah refused to surrender, then fled into the desert, leaving his uncle to negotiate the city's surrender. With the occupation, the independence of Harar came to an end.".
