Yimam of Yejju (also transliterated Imam; died 1828) was a Ras of Begemder and Enderase (regent) of the Emperor of Ethiopia.
[1] According to Trimingham, Ras Yimam openly supported Islam against the local Ethiopian Church.
When Yimam heard of this, he returned by way of Dengel Ber, pursuing Dejazmach Haile Maryam as far as Waldebba where they fought for three days until 25 December 1825, when Haile fled the battlefield for Semien by way of Wegera where he later died, allowing Ras Yimam to restore Gigar to the throne.
[4] Typically for the Zemene Mesafint, relationships between these major lords quickly changed.
Not long after, Yimam joined forces with Wube, who had succeeded his father as Dejazmach, against Goshu and Meru in the Battle of Kossober October 1827, defeating their opponents.
