description: "Blatten Geta Heruy Wolde Selassie was an Ethiopian diplomat who was Foreign Minister of Ethiopia from 1930 to 1936 and a writer in Amharic. Bahru Zewde observes that his career \"stands out as the great success story ... of the early twentieth-century intellectuals,\" then continues, \"His prolific literary record, his influence with Tafari-Hayla-Sellase and his ascent in the bureaucratic hierarchy were all characterized by an unchequered progression. Edward Ullendorff concurs in this evaluation, describing his oeuvre as \"a considerable and distinguished literary output.\""
