You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

== Early life ==
Zewde's father was ''Dejazmatch'' Gebre Selassie Baria Gabr (governor of [[Adwa]]) and his mother was ''Leult'' Wolete Israel Seyoum. His sister was ''Leult'' Ijigayehou Asfa Wossen, his grandfather was ''Ras'' [[Seyoum Mengesha|Seyum Mengesha]], and his wife was ''Woizero'' Alem Tsehai Araya. He received his rudimentary education in Addis Ababa under a tutor, and went to school in Jerusalem and Cairo respectively where his mother stayed during the [[Italian East Africa|Fascist occupation]] of Ethiopia. After the liberation, he enrolled at the Haile Selassie I secondary school in Addis Ababa and subsequently joined the [[University of Exeter]], England, where he studied English literature. This was followed by legal training at [[St Antony's College, Oxford|St. Anthony's College, Oxford]] where he became a senior member of the college from 1963 to 1971,<ref>((Cite book|title=Yohannes IV of Ethiopia|last=Gabre-Sellassie|first=Zewde|publisher=Red Sea Press|year=2014|isbn=978-1-56902-042-5|pages=xiii-xv))</ref> at the conclusion of which he was called to the Bar, Lincoln's Inn, London. After a long interval, during which he held various public offices in Ethiopia, he returned to Oxford and earned his PhD in the composite field of history, politics and economics.

== Career ==
After his return home in the early 1950s, he held various offices, including that of deputy prime minister.

Under the imperial government he held the following positions:<ref>((Cite book|title=The Who's Who in Africa|year=1975|location=London|pages=1167))</ref>
* Economic attache, later Head of Press, Information and Administration Division, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 1951–53
* Director-General of Maritime Affairs, 1953–55
* Deputy Minister, Ministry of Public Works, Transport and Civil Aviation, 1955–57
* Mayor and Governor of Addis Ababa, 1957–59
* Ambassador to Somalia, 1959–60
* Minister of Justice, 1961–63
* Permanent Representative to the United Nations, 1972–74
* Minister of the Interior, March–May 1974
* [[Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Ethiopia)|Minister of Foreign Affairs]], May–November 1974
In November 1974, the Provisional Military Administrative Council's ([[Derg]]) [[summary execution]] of high government officials of the previous regime forced Zewde to go into exile. He eventually became vice-president of the [[United Nations Economic and Social Council]], and subsequently worked for several years as advisor to the secretariat of the United Nations. Throughout his service, he received national honors from at least seven sovereign states, including the Federal Republic of Germany. Together with some other prominent Ethiopians, he attempted to mediate between Ethiopia and Eritrea in 1998.

== Legacy ==
((sources|section|date=April 2023))
Scholars of African history often compare the passing away of a knowledgeable person to a library consumed by conflagration. Zewde's death was described this way((cn|date=April 2023)) when he died of illness in Addis Ababa on 15 December 2008. He combined oral tradition with western education. He was described as being popular among people from all walks of life.((cn|date=January 2024)) His funeral, which took place at the cemetery of Trinity Cathedral, was attended by a huge((quantify|date=January 2024)) crowd of mourners. Tasoma Gebre Mariam, a lawyer, delivered the eulogy, praising him for his contribution to several Ethiopian codes of law. A week-long exhibition of Zewde's works and photos, accompanied by speeches by scholars and family members, was held in his memory at the main campus of [[Addis Ababa University]].((cn|date=January 2024))
