This article is about a person whose name includes a patronymic. The article properly refers to the person by his given name, Gebre, and not as Tasfa.
Gebre Tasfa[note 1] better known as Gebre of Semien (Gabriel of Semien)[note 2] (died May 1815) was the governor of Semien, Tsegede, Welkait and Wogera during the late 18th and early 19th century in Ethiopia. He held the title of Ras, and had an unusually long reign spanning 44 years during the tumultuous Zemene Mesafint when lords of each province and district continuously fought each other for supremacy. Ras Gebre was the primary backer of his son-in-law Emperor Tekle Giyorgis I claims to the throne.[5][6]
