Sahle Selassie rushed from Sela Dingay to Qundi to claim the Meridazmach title before his brother Bakure arrived.
Following Wossen Seged's death, Oromo rebels in Marra Biete delayed Bakure's march to Qundi. Sahle Selassie, a teenager, rushed from the monastery at Sela Dingay. Supported by his mother Zenebework's Menzian kinsmen, he was proclaimed Ras and Meridazmach of Shewa at the capital.
