However, Emperor Haile Selassie responded quickly and sent military forces against Abba Jofir, and brought Abba Jofir back to Addis Ababa, where he was imprisoned. Following the Italian invasion, he was made governor over part of the Italian East African province of Galla-Sidama, but after the Italian defeat in 1942, he was put back into prison. Herbert S. Lewis described his situation in 1960: "having been given amnesty, he lives in what is left of the crumbling palace in Jiren, his movements circumscribed and watched."
