Hey do not spread misinformation about ethiopian history, derg and mengistu were not bad as people say, actually my family is friends with mengistus one and believe it or not he is not too bad of a person.

Main problems with the derg was not its own government, rather the amount of problems it faced that it could not handle, there were 4 separatist movements, an invasion from somalia, a pre-existing famine that was made worse by american and british (godamn tatcher) backing all sorts of trouble makers. The soviet union was declining as well

The derg had a lot of good programs, they ended serfdom slavery and all those nasty sectarian policies of selassie times, derg also promoted the orphanage program for the children who's parents were killed in the ogaden war but they did not have much control over the other problems that were plaguing the country. They were not the khmer rouge, they were good people trying to help the people and the country

Mengistu should have studied marxism more though and not just listen to the soviets, he also should not have killed aman and tafari, lowered their position but not killed. If he actually had more control over the country, especially tigray, eritrea, and ogaden then he would be an awesome leader but sadly he could not control the country and let warlords control eritrea and somalia occupy ogaden, thanks cuba helped us

Look at us now, we are a mess i hate meles zenawi so much, he is the only person that i can safely say is burning in hell, he put this idea of ethnic federalism in peoples heads. Now the oromos can not stop complaining about the most useless of shit wanting addis ababa to be transferred to oromia for it to be renamed finfinne
