Haile selassie was making a mockery out of them when he bowed, he wanted them to psychologically think they are free while mentally they are enslaved. A sultan has control of vast lands and is independent, its not a self proclaimed title that one holds. The Afar overthrew Harar sultan and tried to invade Harar but couldnt so they now pretend they rule Adal in a desert.
