TL;DR:
The funerary stelae of the Dahlak Archipelago provide concrete material evidence of the Alid-Sharifian flight from Abbasid persecution in the late 8th century. These inscriptions serve as a genealogical map, identifying the specific Hasanid and Husaynid branches that established the first autonomous Sharifian enclaves in the Horn of Africa.
