Tessema Nadew

Ras Bitwoded Tessema Nadew (died 10 April 1911) horse name Abba Qamaw^[1] was an Ethiopian military commander and a government official who on 28 October 1909 was proclaimed as Ethiopia's future Balemulu Enderase (Regent Plenipotentiary)^{[note 1]} to Lij Iyasu, upon the latter's appointment as heir to the throne by Emperor Menelik II. He died in 1911, predeceasing Menelik and thus never assuming that office. He previously served as governor of Illubabor Province, the campaign of re-conquest for which he had led, and fought in the Battle of Adwa.^[2]
