Notes
After the Ottomans established the Abyssinian province in the middle of the sixteenth century, and extended its influence over many islands and ports in the Red Sea, and expanded its influence internally, the importance of this province began to emerge economically, especially in the commercial aspect of it, as its distinctive strategic location in the Red Sea and the availability of the province contributed to many natural resources, most notably gold, agricultural and animal materials, in expanding the activity of commercial exchanges in the province, as its ports became important commercial centers and stations that made East African merchants, and the island Arabic, and Indians go to it to exchange goods. This reflected positively on the revenues of the yayala, which began to reap large profits as a result of the tax and customs system imposed on commercial activity in the region. The establishment of the Abyssinia yayalet and the imposition of security also contributed to making the city of Suakin, the capital of the yayala, a corridor for pilgrim convoys towards Mecca to perform the Hajj through the port of Jeddah. This increased the expansion of the yala’s income through transport revenues and royalties paid by pilgrims.
