I have families & friends of families who have died under his rule and yet if you ask any of them they will tell you he is the best leader the nation had ever produced. The majority of Ethiopians still love and respect him because we all finely saw what he was fighting against. Took 20+ years to wake up...
The whole country went in to turmoil because of him. Everything wrong with it started with him. To say he was the best leader and not seeing the damage he did is lunacy.
Mingistu might have killed thousands. But at the same time he saved thousands of Ethiopians from horror and slavery of Monarchist regime that used and abused the nation for decades. He also saved Ethiopia from brutal Somali invasion and Oromo up rising in 1970 s. Without Mingistu, there wouldn't be Ethiopia at all.The Derg was some times Genocidal, but they were not colossal evil. Millions of people went to school because of Derg. Medical care was free,the country was moving the right direction.
Say what U say about him , Even though he made some Big Mistakes .... He Truthfully honestly Loved Ethiopia from the bottom of his heart .... Now can we say the same thing about Melese Zenawi and his Bunch!?!
He loved himself and it showed by how he treated his own people that got him where he got to. He was a classic despotic ruler. Next thing I know you are going to argue that Pol Pot loved his country too.. He might have loved the land and soil but not the people.
A true dictator. Everything will pass, no one thought anyone could defeat him, but he is gone. Every leader will pass or fall, the country will live forever
I love the way this butcher is described as someone who made a lot of "mistakes" but loved Ethiopia... That's like saying Hitler was a bit misunderstood but he was a sweet old man who so loved his country....The mistakes they both made were strategical that resulted in them losing... the slaughter they brought about was no mistake it was deliberate...Loving your country means loving its people...
I am not even in his generation. This guy is attitude is truly a hero. wow. I have a lot of relatives who grew up in his school for children who lost their families through war. They said he was a great guy when he visited them.
has he made Ethiopia rich & prosperous country ? no famine no problems after him, or he introduced cruel communist agenda that destroyed the country, just an other African military dictator
mengistu is honest for his country!! he was not bribery when he was on power.it is well known that still to day he is poplular among ethiopians beacuse he did well. in fact he was dictator but he was kind for people and his country. weyane is bribery and led this country into fall. Long Life to Mengistu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
هذا سفاك مثله مثل هيلي سلاسل في وطني ارتريا ارتكب الكثير من المجازر لكن بفضل الله استطاع ثوار ارتريا الانتصار عليه وتحرير أرضنا من دوله اثيوبيه الاستعمريه
no we Ethiopians are free from u r kind and essayas regime,I like essayas b/c he treats u worse than every leader on earth he wipes u out of the earth!!!!!!!
'Menge' the difference b/n u & Shaebia is one & one. That is trusting & convincing the public but rather u rushed on ammunitions that u thought was the only key. Demo ante man honeh new yesewn kit yemetewegaw? ayeh chegeru ezih gar new. And remember 'NO ONE OWNS NO BODY'.
Mr Binieam. There is one thing you should understand..Ethiopia is nation that always had divided loyalty.You loyalty lies in Woyane regime because you sound like you benefited and found artificial privilege in your causin's arms.There are people like me who benefited the Derg too, therefore, they will praise him as long as they live. Secondly,As you don't care the victims of this regime now, I don't care about your suffering. My hero is not your hero, and yours is not mine. Remember that.
but wanna be ats Tedros, left you behind. He just smart mouth. when the hero peasant come to get his a-s, he him self take off his pant and run off. have you remember that ? now you call that hero. intersting !
