Mordechai Abir writes, "It was during the reign of Ammehayes that the reconquest of the territories held by the Galla really seriously began."1 He imported a number of firearms from the northern parts of Ethiopia, and used them to assert his primacy over his neighboring Christian states including Tegulet, Menz, Efrata and Bulga. He moved his capital to Doqaqit in Yifat, whence he raided the lands of the Afar to the east. He renewed the war with the Karayu, but had more success with the Abichu Oromo, conquering their tribes as far west as the Chia Chia river near Angolalla.

Ammehayes was the creator of the policy, followed by the rulers of Shewa into the middle of the next century, of avoiding being drawn into the struggles around control of the Imperial throne.

The Meridazmach also made a diplomatic visit to the Emperor's court at Gondar in 1771, at the first decades of the semi-anarchical Era of The Princes, where he was received "more like an honoured ally than a vassal" by the then 17-year-old Emperor 'Admas Sagad III' Takla Haymanot II.3 This visit was recorded by James Bruce, who called him "Yasous". Gondar (less commonly spelled Gonder) was the old imperial capital of Ethiopia and the historic Begemder province, now part of the Amhara region. ... 1771 was a common year starting on Tuesday (see link for calendar). ...
