Ras Mulugeta Yeggazu [note 1] (Amharic : ሙሉጌታ ይገዙ; 17 February 1865[1] – 27 February 1936) was an Ethiopian government official, who served in the first cabinet formed by Emperor Menelik II . He served as Imperial Fitawrari, Commander of the Mahel Sefari (Central Army) of the Ethiopian Army during the Second Italo-Ethiopian War .
Biography [ edit ]
Of Amhara descent, Mulugeta came from Menz in Shewa , he was relative of Emperor Menelik II and Tessema Nadew , and was a descendant of Tedu , the 18th century ruler of Morat in northern Shewa .[1]
Mulugeta fought as a young warrior in the Battle of Adwa during the First Italo-Ethiopian War in 1896. In January 1905, he became palace treasurer (Bajerond ), and a confidant of Menelik II . In 1908, he served as Minister of Finance during the last years of Emperor Menelik II's reign. He was demoted when Menelik's health detoriated and affairs was nominally ruled by Lij Iyasu . Tessema Nadew , regent of Ethiopia, reappointed Mulugeta as dejazmach over Gimira to the west Jimma . In 1916, after the deposition of Lij Iyasu , he was again made minister of Finance under Empress Zewditu .[1] [2] [3]
From 1916 to 1917, he was Ethiopia's Minister of Foreign Affairs . While governor of Illubabor , Mulugeta escorted then Ras Tafari (the later Emperor Haile Selassie ) on his tour of Europe in 1924.[4] In 1926, he was appointed as Minister of War , and a few years later commanded the loyalist troops to victory at the Battle of Anchem .
During the Second Italo-Ethiopian War , Mulugeta was appointed Imperial Commander of the Vanguard (Fitawrari ) to replace the disgraced Birru Wolde Gabriel . Along with his son, Tadessa Mulugeta , he was killed during the retreat of his defeated army from Amba Aradam .[5]
