Haile Woldense or Woldetensae (ሃይለ ወልደትንሳኤ) is an Eritrean politician. Woldense was born in 1946 and attended High School in Asmara, Eritrea. After graduation he was accepted to the Addis Ababa University engineering program. There he met Isaias Afewerki and they withdrew from school to join the Eritrean Liberation Front. In 1974 he became a member of what would become the Eritrea People's Liberation Front (EPLF) Central Committee and joined the Political Bureau. He was the head master of EPLF's cadre school, who transformed the movement. After Independence he became the Minister of Finance and Development and served in that position until 1997. In mid-February 1997, he was instead appointed as Minister of Foreign Affairs.〔("President quietly shuffles cabinet" ), ''Indian Ocean Newsletter'', 29 March 1997 (''Horn of Africa Monthly Review'', 21 February–28 April 1997).〕 As a member of the G-15, who requested the resignation of the President of Eritrea to end the war with Ethiopia, he was arrested and replaced in his position. Amnesty International considers Woldense and the other imprisoned G-15 members to be prisoners of conscience and has called for their immediate release. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Haile Woldense」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
