		The Derg was initially supposed to study the grievances of various military units, and investigate abuses by senior officers and staff, and to root out corruption in the military.
		The Derg chose Lt. General Aman Andom to be its chairman, and acting head-of-state until the Crown Prince Asfaw Wossen could return from his medical treatment in Europe and assume the throne as a constitutional monarch.
		The reign of the Derg in Ethiopia is remembered for the Ethiopian Red Terror in which the government systematically eliminated its opponents between 1975 and 1977 with executions and imprisonments of tens of thousands without trial.

		At first, the Derg's officers exercised their influence behind the scenes; only later, during the era of the Provisional Military Administrative Council, did its leaders emerge from anonymity and become both the official as well as the de facto governing personnel.
		Although the Derg professed loyalty to the emperor, it immediately began to arrest members of the aristocracy, military, and government who were closely associated with the emperor and the old order.
		The Derg's agenda rapidly diverged from that of the reformers of the late imperial period.

	The Derg in Retrospect
		And there were certainly far too many blunders committed by the Derg and its associates, than any one would be ready to accept/admit: summary killing, hasty/drastic decisions, policies/ideologies adopted and implemented (without sober planning, people/the country ending up as guinea pigs!) But all these were perhaps dictated by the waves of the times.
		All the rest of the story to the final days of the derg is left for other writers and researchers to dwell on.
		The Derg was all this and much more, and as such, cannot be recounted in exhaustion in one book.

	Ethiopian Revolution
		Despite his standing, however, General Aman was almost immediately at odds with a majority of the Derg's members on three major issues: the size of the Derg and his role within it, the Eritrean insurgency, and the fate of political prisoners.
		Aman claimed that the 120- member Derg was too large and too unwieldy to function efficiently as a governing body; as an Eritrean, he urged reconciliation with the insurgents there; and he opposed the death penalty for former government and military officials who had been arrested since the revolution began.
		The Derg immediately found itself under attack from civilian groups, especially student and labor groups who demanded the formation of a "people's government" in which various national organizations would be represented.

		This is unexpected because any vaccination typically requires both the use of an antigen (a piece of the disease) along with an adjuvant (an irritant designed to attract the immune system to the injection site where it will react to the disease antigen) administered at the same time.
		This suggests that derG is acting early and directly on the immune system to enhance the ability to respond and protect itself from the disease causing organisms.
		derG could also potentially replace or augment current therapies for Influenza, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C; 2) Sepsis; 3) Cancers; 4) Allergies -- derG could be a more effective replacement for allergy shots and other current therapies and/or augment their efficacy by changing the immune response normally induced by allergens.

	THE DERG REINCARNATED IN THE FORM OF THE CUD
		Subsequent to the downfall of the Derg regime in 1991, the EPRDF has inherited the entire workforce of the EWP excepting its commander-in-chief, Mengistu Haile Mariam and some senior officers who fled the country.
		Ironically, many of the hardhearted Marxist zealots and high-ranking officials of the Derg who played awful roles in the military dictatorship have sought sanctuary in the most unlikely of all places, the United States, and not the most-favored Soviet Union.
		Phenomenally, the Derg’s downfall coincided with the demise of the Soviet Union.

	The axiology of CUD: Centre for united Derg members
		For the young Ethiopian generation who at the time of Derg’s horrible atrocities were small kids, the past is unknown and had no mark on them except some news that they might have heard about it from here and there.
		But for us survived the Derg era, it is clear for us that it’s destructive goal with immeasurable ethnic hate towards the people of Tigreans or Oromos, for example, and that would devastate the Unity of Ethiopia.
		It could be understood that EPRDF had a Political Ad Gentes in terms of reaching out to all Ethiopian ethnic groups by affirming their role as a people of Ethiopia in terms of culture and language so that they may make the entire tapestry of Ethiopia beautiful.

	It is with a great hesitation that I venture on reflecting on the entreaties of former Derg officials for mercy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		As the letter the former Derg officials have submitted to the Prime Minister reveals Ethiopia was faced with a unique opportunity in the immediate aftermath of the 1974 revolution to tread upon a way of constitutionalism and development in all spheres.
		The Derg trial does not have the appearance of one-on-one between the prosecution and the defense; rather, it is two against one as the courts, albeit in certain aspects independent, cannot be viewed as impartial.
		Contrary to this, the Derg officials do not seem to be deeply moved by the atrocities perpetrated during the heyday of the Derg; for them the vengeful trial might have obliged them to think the EPRDF and the victims as one and the same.

		Known at first as the Coordinating Committee of the Armed Forces, Police, and Territorial Army, after September 1974 it was known as the Provisional Military Administrative Council (PMAC), or simply as the Derg (Amharic for "committee" or "council"), a term derived from Gi'iz and little used before the 1974 revolution.
		The Derg lasted officially from June 1974 to September 1987, when the People's Democratic Republic of Ethiopia came into being.

		The Derg, however, adopted a radical approach, with the Land Reform Proclamation of March 1975, which nationalized all rural land, abolished tenancy, and put peasants in charge of enforcement.
		Although the Derg ordered national collective ownership of land, the move was taken with little preparation and met with opposition in some areas, especially Gojam, Welo, and Tigray.
		Students and teachers were alienated by the government's closure of the university in Addis Ababa and all secondary schools in September 1975 in the face of threatened strikes, as well as the forced mobilization of students in the Development Through Cooperation Campaign (commonly referred to as zemecha--see Glossary) under conditions of military discipline.

		The EPRP challenged the Derg's control of the revolution itself by agitating for a broad-based democratic government run by civilians, not by the military.
		Mengistu and the Derg eventually won this latest struggle for control of the Ethiopian revolution, at a cost to the EPRP of thousands of its members and supporters imprisoned, dead, or missing.
		These difficulties were largely the result of the Derg's preoccupation with internal matters and the promotion of Ethiopian variations on what Marxist-Leninist theoreticians regarded as preordained steps on the road to a socialist state.

		Lough Derg, which means the Lake of the red eye reminds us of the influence of poets in ancient Ireland and the merciless way they exercised that power.
		There are very few places on Lough Derg where it can be fished from the shore, so it is almost entirely boat fishing.
