Belay was born in 1912 in Chaketa, Wollo, Ethiopia, to Oromo parents.
At a very young age under mysterious circumstances, Belay killed his
uncle and fled to a life of fugitive with little or no contact with his
immediate family for about 15 years during which time he developed
traits that would help him achieve a name for himself in Ethiopian
history as one of the greatest heroes who defended their country.
In 1935
Italy
invaded Ethiopia. Zeleke felt the need to defend his country and led a
heroic movement against the occupation in Gojjam. Soon, he became known
for being incredibly brutal among Italian generals and they fought him
as hard as they could. Not only did he defeat the Italian army that was
sent to destroy him, he also took into custody the army’s general and
executed him by
hanging.
The
Ethiopian patriots liberated
Addis Ababa on 6 May 1941 and this victory officially ended the Italian occupation.
Emperor Haile Selassie
returned to Addis Ababa on 5 May 1941 after spending the preceding five
years in exile in Europe. There are no physical signs of Italian
invasion in the province of Gojam largely because of Belay Zeleke's
resistance. It is evident that Belay Zeleke never let the Italian troops
camp anywhere in Gojjam let alone leave a legacy of any sort.
Upon the Emperor Haile Selassie’s victorious return to Ethiopia in
1941, Belay Zeleke was put in charge of a small region in Gojam where he
had assumed a higher rank to be able to play a much bigger role in
reconstructing and administering the region.
He declined the position in protest and started living life as an
outlaw. Soon he was caught and sent to jail accused of being a threat to
the monarchy. Some members of the nobility who protested the actions
taken on the patriot and Ras Hailu of Gojam who was a well known nemesis
of the emperor helped Belay Zeleke to escape during which time a police
officer was killed. He was apprehended later and was executed by
hanging with his brother Ejigu and 17 others who were his followers on
January 12, 1945. Ras Hailu and the other nobles who helped Belay were
immediately put on house arrest and their wealth confiscated by the
government. His execution was bitterly received by many Ethiopians. In
his honor Gojam road was named after him. Most Ethiopians admire him as a
king.
