- Dejazmach Balcha Safo (Amharic: ባልቻ ሳፎ; 1863 – 6 November 1936), popularly referred to by his horse-name Abba Nefso, was an Ethiopian military commander and lord protector of the crown, who served in both the First and Second Italo-Ethiopian Wars. Originally of humble birth, Balcha Safo, along with Habte Giyorgis Dinagde, was one of many Agemja prisoners of war during Ethiopian Emperor Menelik II's expansions south between 1875 and 1889. He came to the notice of Emperor Menelik II, who brought him back to Addis Ababa where Balcha was educated. His ethnicity is disputed with some sources claiming that he was an ethnic Gurage and others claiming he was an ethnic Oromo. He made his reputation, according to oral tradition, in the Battle of Mek'ele, and later at the Battle of Adwa (March 1, 1896), and was rewarded with elevation to the aristocratic status of dejazmach. Later Balcha was appointed a provincial Governor (Shum). He was later a key member of the conservative provincial elite who, in the 1920s, were often at odds with the modernising reforms and rising power of the Regent, Ras Tafari Makonnen. Tafari Makonnen would later force Dejazmach Balcha into retirement, albeit an honourable one, in 1928, from which he would emerge in 1935 to fight against the Fascist invasion, resulting in his death in 1936.
