	Mengistu Haile Mariam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Mengistu Haile Mariam (born 1937) was the head of state of Ethiopia from 1977 to 1991.
		Mengistu was one of a committee of low ranking officers and enlisted soldiers known as the Derg who in 1974 overthrew Emperor Haile Selassie, whose regime had lost public confidence following a BBC-produced documentary by Jonathan Dimbleby highlighting a devastating famine in Wollo province.
		Mengistu's government was faced with enormous difficulties throughout the 1980s in the form of droughts, widespread famine (notably the Ethiopian famine of 1984 - 1985) and insurrections, particularly in the northern regions of Tigray and Eritrea.

	"Era of Impersonal Politics"
		Haile Selassie, himself, was the very image of that bureaucracy and an egomaniac of "divine" proportions and tremendous wealth in a land of utter scarcity.
		Haile-Selassie's unlikely successor, Colonel Mengistu Haile-Mariam, was himself involved in a number of shootouts to establish and protect his own dictatorship over the democratic ideals of the Ethiopian Revolution of the 1970s.
		By establishing his personal dictatorship, Mengistu was able to stop the democratic tide of the revolution and dam the popular energy that could have embarked on the path of meaningful development and change.

		In the hierarchy of leftist monsters of the 20th century, Mengistu Haile Mariam, the Communist leader of Ethiopia from 1977 to 1991, is often lost.
		Mengistu, instead of attempting to alter the national economic infrastructure to aid the dying thousands, went on to blame the West for the famine, suggesting that aid agencies avoided Ethiopia for political reasons.
		Mengistu reportedly flew into a rage, and demanded that the army halt its retreat, but surprisingly, he was overruled by his aides and commanders, clearly indicating his deteriorating position.

	PICTURES AND STORIES ON THE IMPERIAL FUNERAL EVENTS
		Haile Selassie's eldest daughter, the octogenarian Princess Tenagnework, and his granddaughters, the princesses Aida, Seble and Sofia, and grandsons Haile Selassie and princes Zara Yacob Asfaw Wossen, Ermias Sahle Selassie, Beide Mariam Mekonen and Teferi were among those to attend the private Fethate Tselot mass of prayers for the soul and the forgiveness of sins.
		Haile Selassie's foes reproach his 44-year reign of absolute power and a failure to change land policy or to make the government of his Horn of Africa country truly representative of the people, which is a patchwork of many different ethnic and religious groups.
		Haile Selassie died, according to the official version, of a "failure of his blood circulation system" on the night of August 26, 1975, at the age of 82.

		In 1930, Haile Selassie was crowned Emperor of Ethiopia and established a more modern state by creating a structured, central bureaucracy, a judicial system with codified laws, and a constitution (IRBDC Apr. 1990, 11).
		The Emperor's unresponsiveness to the economic development of the country and the political needs of his people, specifically his methods of dealing with (and concealing) the widespread famine that plagued the nation in the 50s, 60s, and 70s, is what most scholars believe ultimately led to his downfall.
		In February 1977, Mengistu Haile Mariam arranged the execution of General Teferi along with six other senior members of the government, and publicly took supreme power after their deaths.

		Hence, the recent request by the government in Ethiopia requesting that South Africa (where he is exiled) allow an extradition of Mengistu Haile Mariam has apparently influenced his decision to flee South Africa and relocate to Zimbabwe.
		Upon hearing that Mengistu was in South Africa for treatment, Ethiopia on Friday asked for his extradition, despite the lack of an extradition treaty between the countries.
		Mengistu's effort to avoid being brought to the court since his years as Ethiopia's leader in the 1980s is thinning.

		Mengistu and Meles followed a similar style of repression, the former in the name of defending the revolution and the latter in the name of defending the constitution that he has already flouted a million times.
		Mengistu Haile-Mariam believed that he was the only person born to lead Ethiopia and capable of ‘defending’ the popular revolution that he hijacked with his cronies.
		Again, Mengistu committed all those attrocities countering a group which have tried to kill him at least 8 times and assasinated his best commerades and in case of the generals nearly succeeded in their cou attempt after killing some generals including the defence minstre.

		Mengistu, who has lived in exile in Zimbabwe since fleeing an armed rebellion that ended his rule in 1991, is wanted in Ethiopia to face trial for his infamous "Red Terror" campaign in which tens of thousands of opponents of his "Dergue" regime were slaughtered in the 1970s and 80s.
		Speaking separately, the spokesman of the main faction of the MDC, Nelson Chamisa, said Mengistu should be taken back to Ethiopia not only so he could face trial for human rights abuses there but also to stop him from imparting some of his crude methods to Mugabe and his government.
		Mengistu, who is said to work as a security consultant to Mugabe, advised the President to pre-empt a possible mass revolt by depopulating opposition-supporting urban areas through the controversial slum-clearing exercise.
