Dejazmatch Zewde Gebre-Sellassie (Amharic: ዘውዴ ገብረ ሥላሴ; 12 October 1926 – 15 December 2008) was an Ethiopian nobleman, historian, and former deputy Prime Minister of Ethiopia.
[2] Zewde's father was Dejazmatch Gebre Selassie Baria Gabr (governor of Adwa) and his mother was Leult Wolete Israel Seyoum.
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.
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.
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.
