In 1517, an Ottoman fleet under Selim I sailed south through the Red Sea to capture the port of Suakin, then part of the Funj Sultanate. This episode unpacks the siege itself, the strategic importance of Suakin as a gateway for spices and slaves, and how the Ottomans established the province of Habesh, ruling through local Beja leaders. We follow the story of Özdemir Pasha, the Ottoman governor who first set foot in Suakin, and the long-term consequences: the introduction of Ottoman architecture, the spread of Islam deeper into the interior, and the eventual decline under the Egyptian Khedivate. We also explore the controversy over whether Suakin was truly conquered or surrendered through negotiation—contemporary accounts from Evliya Çelebi and local chronicles offer conflicting views. This is a forgotten chapter where Ottoman, Funj, and Beja interests collided on the Sudanese coast. #Suakin #OttomanEmpire #SelimI #ÖzdemirPasha #FunjSultanate #RedSea #SudanHistory #Habesh #EvliyaÇelebi #Beja #PortHistory #Siege #1517 #NorthAfrica #IslamicHistory #TradeRoutes #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
