The record lists Mulatu Teshome as former President of Ethiopia.
Mulatu Teshome was born at Arjo in 1957. His recorded nationality is Ethiopia. He was educated at Peking University.
Twentieth-century politics was conducted under the shadow of two world wars, decolonisation and the Cold War, and broadcast to electorates that could watch it happen.
The offices held were President of Ethiopia (2013–2018), Member of the House of Federation of Ethiopia and ambassador of Ethiopia to Japan (1992–1994).
His political affiliation is recorded as Oromo Democratic Party and Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front.
Power is judged twice: once by contemporaries who felt it, and again by historians who did not.
That the career was made in Ethiopia is not incidental: the institutions available, the franchise, and the constraints of the moment all shaped what could be attempted.
Mulatu Teshome's career is not finished, and the historical verdict on it has not been reached.
