1894-1942
Telecommunications service was introduced in Ethiopia by Emperor Menelik II in 1894 when the construction of
the telephone line from Harar to the capital city, Addis Ababa, was commenced. Then the interurban network was
continued to expand satisfactorily in all other directions from the capital. Many important centers in the Empire
were interconnected by lines, thus facilitating long distance communication with the assistants or operators at
intermediate stations frequently acting as verbal human repeaters between the distant calling parties.
In this particular period, the telecom telecom has been renamed and restructured through different stages.
First, the management of the service was under the Imperial Court of Menelik II in the name of the
“CENTRAL ADMINISTRATION OF TELEPHONE AND TELEGRAPH SYSTEM OF ETHIOPIA” from 1890 up to
1907. Mr. Stevenin, a French citizen, was appointed as the General Manager of the service.
The service was renamed as “THE CENTRAL OFFICE OF POST, TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE (PTT) SYSTEM
OF ETHIOPIA” since 1907-1909. It was administered by Emperor Menilik II’s Advisor, Mr. Al Fred Ilg, a
Swiss man.
Then the service was renamed as “MINISTRY OF POST, TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE (PT and T)” in 1910.
First, it was administered by Mr. Leo Shafno, a French citizen and then replaced by the first Ethiopian
administrators Lij Gizaw Bezabih, Lij Beyene Yimer and their successors consecutively.
