 BBC NEWS Special Report 1999 07/99 Battle in the Horn Stubborn leaders and national pride
In 1991, Ethiopia's Marxist military dictatorship under Mengistu Haile Mariam was ousted by the Ethiopian Peoples Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) led by Meles Zenawi, and the Eritrean Peoples Liberation Front (now the Peoples' Front for Democracy and Justice) led by Isaias Afwerki.
Ethiopia was concerned about being relegated to the status of supplying cheap labour for Eritrea; by Eritrean use of their common currency, the birr, to acquire dollars; and by overcharging at the port of Assab.
He refutes the criticism that his policies were pro-Eritrean while the war distracts attention from internal criticisms, including similar allegations of a lack of democracy, and that development has been largely confined to Tigray region.

The pragmatic alliance between the EPLF (renamed the Peoples Front for Justice and Democracy in February, 1993) and the EPRDF enabled the two groups during the crucial early stage of their ascendancy to power to receive mutual support in establishing one party states.
In Eritrea, the Christian-dominated EPLF was accused by the Muslim-dominated Eritrean Liberation Front of dominating the government and army structures, and of politically and institutionally marginalising the Muslim population in the country.

 Case Study
The Eritrean-Ethiopian War ended with the Eritrean Peoples' Liberation Front (EPLF, which later became the Peoples' Front for Democracy and Justice) capture of the capital city of Asmara on May 24, 1991 (the war lasted for 30 years).
The Eritrean colony was formed in an area where the peoples had varying and discontinuous relations with the Ethiopian empire in the South, the Ottoman and Egyptian empires in the North and various Sudanic empires to the west and north west.
Also, during this time Ethiopia pressed its territorial interest and mobilized its support for a political union largely among the Eritrean Christian highlanders.

 Eritreans
The Chicago community has a chapter of the Peoples Front for Democracy and Justice (the ruling Eritrean political party, formerly the EPLF), and, in 2001, a chapter of the Eritrean Liberation Front–Revolutionary Council was founded.
Most Eritreans who resettled in the United States identified with one of these fronts, and a significant number were veterans of the conflict.
Between 1965 and 1991, an estimated 750,000 Eritreans fled the Horn of Africa—roughly one-quarter of the country's population—in the wake of war, famine, political unrest, and persecution.

 ROAPE: Article - Eritrea: Transition to Dictatorship, 1991-2003
The EPLF, renamed the Popular Front for Democracy and Justice (PFDJ) in February 1994, reiterated this promise so frequently and eloquently that even the most cynical of persons was inclined to hope Eritrea would be spared the nightmare of dictatorship.
Emphasis on self-reliance and hard work made it easy to overlook the ingrained authoritarianism and basic intolerance of the Eritrean Peoples Liberation Front (EPLF) leadership.
Eritreans and foreign observers believed the promise made by the victorious guerilla leadership that Eritrea would learn the lessons of post-colonial African history and would not repeat its mistakes.

According to a July report by the U.N. special rapporteur on human rights in Burundi, some 800 civilians and one hundred soldiers were slain per month by both sides, meaning that more than 10,000 people may have been killed by the end of the year.
Given that most judges as well as soldiers and police are Tutsi, this situation suggests grave inequities in the administration of justice.
To this end, they favored the establishment of the international commission of inquiry, supported the sending of human rights monitors, and co-sponsored the March 29 Security Council resolution warning of prosecutions for any who became guilty of acts of genocide.

Comrade Rameshwar Prasad said, while addressing the people over the barricades, that the fact that the 'self-proclaimed messiah' has refused to see the slain body and to meet thousands of poor who came to seek justice itself proves it is anti-people government that suppresses people struggling for democracy in Bihar.
While police, as usual, has not arrested any of the murderers even after a week, State Chief Minister Rabri Devi refused to meet thousands of anguished people who marched to Patna on foot right from the place of the postmortem with the body of comrade Vijendra Prasad to ask for justice.
