Taye Dendea (Amharic: ታዬ ደንድአ) is an Ethiopian politician and activist. Taye has been subjected to arbitrary detention multiple times. During Abiy Ahmed premiership, he was appointed as State Minister of Peace from 2021 to 2023.
On 12 December 2023, he was arrested by federal police and charged with terrorism for alleged unauthorized weapon possession. In mid-2024, he was charged with terrorism for his alleged connection to the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA), which was antigovernmental insurgent. In September 2024, the Federal Supreme Court denied his bait and Taye remained in custody.[1]
