MENGISTU : The Butcher of Addis Ababa and the story of Socialist Ethiopia | African Biographics
Haile Mariam Mengistu was a popular army officer who was installed as ruler of Ethiopia following the country's 1974 revolution which led to the overthrow of Emperor Haile Selassie.
He remained in power for the next seventeen years, and his attempt to mold the country into a Soviet-style socialist paradise plunged it into a brutal reign of terror instead. Ethiopia's government-sanctioned campaign of political repression resulted in an estimated 150,000 deaths, This became known as the "Red Terror" and Mengistu became known as "the Butcher of Addis Ababa" for it.
In 2007, 16 years after his 1991 flight into exile, Mengistu was found guilty in absentia of genocide. In this episode of African Biographics, we look at the reign of Ethiopia’s dictator, Mengistu Haile Mariam.
