Zimbabwe was ruled by a tyrant, Mugabe, who is a socialist like Mengistu so it was only natural that he looked for asylum in Harare, Emmerson was Mugabe's lacky so Mengistu won't be extradited
He has something to trade, most likely. Mugabe, for all his bluster, was not known for his loyalty or gratitude; and neither is the Crocodile, Mnangagwa. Mengistu's contact list might be thinning with age, but no doubt there are still levers he can pull to serve Zimbabwean interests, when called upon.
You forgot to mention that Mengistu was triumphant the war with Somalia because of Cuban and Yemens army fought his side, not by his army alone and the Soviet modern weapens
@@THESURAFELB I hve been in Yemen 1992 and I met ex Yemeni colonel Mr Dariq, he told me that his artillery unit was deployed in Ethiopia to fought with Ethiopian army by the communist South Yemen government of the time, he had all the details
All problems that Zimbabwe faced in recent years could be attributed to Mengistu. Destroying a millennium long African royalty must have carried one hell of a curse
I had no idea Mengitsu was still alive. Just confirms the fact that the just world fallacy is just that. A lie people tell themselves thinking bad people have bad things happen to them by some force of the universe or nature.
Its so important and necessary that you do the research and publish your findings b/c there are still many Ethiopians that belive Mengistu didnt do any of the war crimes and tortures in his 17 year reign. He was a fascist dictator.
The Red Terror lasted for 17 years in Eritrea, not 2 like Ethiopia. The Ethiopians were killed because of their political views but the Eritreans were killed simply for being Eritrean. Derg in Ethiopia only killed men but in Eritrea even women, children and the elderly were killed and imprisoned.
All those who think mugabe is the hero of Africa the fact that he gave this man a place to stay speaks volumes... From 1 butcher to another they were friends
I personally I met Mengisu in suburbs of Zimbabwe. And any dictator thinking is powerful it's vital if he visits him after things turned to the worst for him and resorted to live the poorest life
❤Pm.Abiy ahmed is best leader to Ethiopia❤ The late Meles Zenawi, who was the western emissary, was a murderous racist, and he was the son of a banda banda who separated Eritrea from Ethiopia and gave the port of Asab, which historically was not part of Eritrea, to Eritrea.
I feel like going from an absolute monarchy to another form of government is the most difficult transition. Not to excuse what Mengistu and the Derg did, especially the mismanagement leading to the famine. But pretty much everywhere in Africa was unstable during that time period in one way or another. Either coups, a civil war, genocide, fighting another country, the list goes on. He was a product of his era.
Make a video on the evil Abiy Ahmed that is now destroying Ethiopia. I already know his supporters will be mad in this section but please you have to let people know the crimes he is committing against Orthodox and Amhara.
This video should have started with the fact Tigray and Eritrea worked with Italy and Germany fascist during wwii and haileselassie and the Amharas worked the communist. The first communist in Ethiopia were Italians then haileselassie invited British communist. He was put in power by the communist as a puppet and sent mengestu to Russia to learn from the communist there but I guess he didn’t research the first thing the communist did in Russia was kill the king. Amhara was the communist stronghold in Ethiopia. Before haileselassie died he chose meles zenawi to lead the country since he score the best at the university. The Amhara didn’t like that so they had their own king murdered. The same people who put him in power murdered him. He was never Tigray and Eritrea king
@@jhonywalker1168 child he was. Like u would know. He knew the monarchy wouldn’t last and fascism was better than wat was coming. That’s why his own people did nothing when he died
@@jhonywalker1168I think responding to this man makes you stupid (no disrespect) but whoever claims Italy and Britain were communist is not worthy of reading his comment let alone respond 😂
Don't call him a Butcher 'cause he wasn't. He was a real Ethiopian who loved and sureved his country. He was brave enough to stand against the hypocrisy of the west and that's why they demonize him. Bougut with their money traitors from with in to dismantle the country. So respect urself man!
He was a butcher...simple. U sound like the type that would call Mugabe a hero yet the guy committed a genocide against the Ndebeles killing 20 000 women, children, men, old people. These leaders are bad news. A new brand of leaders is needed in Africa.
@@shauncameron8390 Not really. In fact our family properties were nationalized and we went down the hill economically but i forgive him 'cause his intention was not evil rather he thought it was a strategy for fair distributiin of wealth. See he never targeted a particular clan, ethnic group or tribe. His own father, brother & sister were not exception. He was the father of the poor. So again ur wrong.
Who called Colonel Mengestu Hailemariam a butchery? We Ethiopians know very well that Colonel Mengestu and Thomas Sankara had the same position for the development and prosperity of Africans and their country's people. Don't report the false propaganda of the West. The late Meles Zenawi, who was the western emissary, was a murderous racist, and he was the son of a banda banda who separated Eritrea from Ethiopia and gave the port of Asab, which historically was not part of Eritrea, to Eritrea.
I will never understand why Zimbabwe is still keeping this man in their country
He was a friend of Mugabe. Even though Mugabe is long gone, the new government understands the history and wants to respect the late Robert Mugabe.
He was mugabes friend
Zimbabwe was ruled by a tyrant, Mugabe, who is a socialist like Mengistu so it was only natural that he looked for asylum in Harare, Emmerson was Mugabe's lacky so Mengistu won't be extradited
He helped them in their struggle for independence
He has something to trade, most likely. Mugabe, for all his bluster, was not known for his loyalty or gratitude; and neither is the Crocodile, Mnangagwa. Mengistu's contact list might be thinning with age, but no doubt there are still levers he can pull to serve Zimbabwean interests, when called upon.
this is my favourite channel on youtube!!
It's excellent isn't it?!
Me too
It's a shame he won't face the consequences of his crimes. As an American, I didn't know my country helped him escape.
YOUR COUNTRY IS TIED TO EVERY SCANDAL AROUND THE WORLD
It’s much better than having a protracted civil war that would lead to the death of tens of thousands more just to “bring him to justice”.
Which is a bit funny seeing how Mengistu was a socialist.
America funded the communist revolution in Russia
America too did not face any consequences for killing innocent people in Iraq over a million on a lie.... This world is a mess

You could only wonder what fate Aby ahmed will have. Especially when he destabilizes ethiopia even further.
Hopefully a worse fate than Haile Selassie.
What destabilization are u talking about that Dr. Abiy is doing?
You live abroad or you are on his payroll 😂
Refugee
Ojala el Dr. Abiy siga orientandose mas a la derecha y restaure la monarquia, limpiando Etiopia de marxistas, favoreciendo ademas la libre empresa.
This channel has been a source of great info for me. Not a lot is taught about Africa in our syllabus (Indian). Keep up the good work.

Compliment season
Nice documentary
We students of history dubbed him the butcher of Ethiopia
I enjoy your videos from Malibu California
in 1974, there were more than 80,000 men marching heavily armed for the unity of Ethiopia ; Glory to Ethiopia !
nicely done
Menigistu is generally liked by Ethiopiands, regardless of his mistakes
Are you sure ?! Mengistu is liked by Ethiopians regardless of his mistakes ?!
Eritrea was in an armed independence struggle from 1961-1991. It's was war of independence not war of autonomy as you alluded in your video.
Bono loved this guy
oh wow! He is still around! 😮

In all honesty, even the monarchy seemed nice compared to him
Apparently, His downfall precipitated ethnic based massacres, specially the amharas exposed to genocide.
Thank you this is great, can you please do a video on South Sudan at some point ☺️
Mengistu is still alive? and got away with all his crimes.
Yep, in Zimbabwe and CIA helped him there.
yes he is here in Zimbabwe
Please can you make a video on Ali Soilih of the Comoros

Such excuses are to be done with. It is rather that the likes of him produced the era and there's no end in sight.
I see you read a lot of Wikipedia but you don't attribute it. Yes, it's not a primary source but you can actually trust Wikipedia.
