  Before Naa Gariba, Dagombas had diplomatic relationship with ashantes. In 1701 when Ashanti clash with Denkyeras, Naa Zagli had to send troops to help ashantes combat the Denkyeras ( rattray 1929, p47-48). So they couldn't have been a war between the two tribes during. The truth is that, Naa Salan ziblim was the rightful owner to the thrown of Dagbon but his uncle was inskinned. So he went and sought help from Asantihene to help him remove naa Gariba. Since Asantihene could not use force, he invited Naa Gariba under the guise of diplomacy. And he went , he was detained in Kumasi to allow naa salan ziblim to rule Dagbon. They had never been a single war between Dagombas and ashantes. If you insist so then tell me the name of the war. Number of fallen heroes, both Asante side and Dagombas side. Every war has a ñame but i never heared the name of that purported war between Dagombas and ashantes. We know of the war between Dagombas and Germans called the Battle of Adiboo
