About this person

Tsehafi Taezaz Aklilu Habte-Wold was an Ethiopian statesman and politician who served as Prime Minister of Ethiopia during the reign of Emperor Haile Selassie I from 1961 to 1974 until his resignation due to the civil and military unrest brought by the student youth uprising and internal pressures of the soon to come military junta. He previously served as foreign minister before his premiership from 1943 to 1958. He was described leading the position of "Minister of the Pen" an ex-officio title due to his role as prime minister and handling all the practical leadership roles in the Ethiopian Empire.
