Haile Woldense is an Eritrean politician.
Woldense attended High School in Asmara, Eritrea. After graduation he was accepted to the Addis Ababa University engineering program. There he met Isaias Afewerki and they withdrew from school to join the Eritrean Liberation Front.[1]
In 1974 he became a member of what would become the Eritrea People's Liberation Front (EPLF) Central Committee and joined the Political Bureau.
After Independence he became the Minister of Finance and Development and served there until the Eritrean-Ethiopian War when he was shuffled in the Cabinet to the Minister of Foreign Affairs position. As a member of the G-15, who requested the resignation of the President of Eritrea to end the war with Ethiopia, he was arrested and replaced in his position.
