    this is how a revolution works, Mengistu is criminal but also the king.1million people of wolo perished on his watch if you ask me he had it coming. the king also murdered thousands of Eritreans, he was a feudal imperialist and friend of the colonialists. stop blaming the revolution that freed 30 million Ethiopian peasants from the fucking feudalist landlords and the orthodox church but killing everyone was not necessary.

    Amhara like to scream with music.
    Amhara people have no brain….. Yes all of them. If they do have a brain , it's the size of donkey brain.

    Amhara ruin Ethiopia.

  4. Nahom Wos says

    We had a good momentum to be a developed nation but.. tribalism

  5. Daniel Habte says

    Mengstu had no confidence in his ability to be a leader, the only way for him was to be a ruthless killing machine.

  6. Aluhym Selah TaFari says

    In the name of the Most High Creator may all of them Rest in Peace for Justice Will be made in the Judgment Day!

  7. Deyozion Yahudim says

  13. T S says

    We were strong nations, but the past 6 decked some peoples who is rootless destroy our beloved history mix with blood and hateful. We don't have any archives documents office inside our country, and the next generation simply lost his best history. Thanks who share us this beautiful history.

  14. Makonnen G. says

    At this point in time , everything changed. the course of history deflected to the wrong direction. And now, we, as a people, have to pay dearly for what went wrong then.

  15. g Emirum says

    DERG first big big mistake ,in history.

  16. Adam Eeleye says

    Ras Alula, you must be crazy,. You want a Christian Kingdom over Ethiopian Muslim population.? If that is your mind set, then Syria would be a joke..Centuries of Orthodox abuse is enough ..Simply Haile Salase was another murderer who has a lot of blood on his hands..No body lost a night of sleep over his death but others who were killed by the Derg was pure sadism and criminality on the part of Mengistu ..

  17. Yohannes Chane says

    At some distance in outer space, even those immense oceans look mere swimming pools. History too, as time marches on, makes events look a little different from that which was being looked at in the midst of events.The further away we go, the more the details become condensed and contorted making room for the imaginations of the historian. I wish the "revolutionary" excesses committed both by the military committee and other revolutionary groups were more completely preserved in the photographs and films, like the Nazi film archives, for generations to learn and hopefully be more prudent and maturer than their predecessors, on which I do not see any sign of that as of now!

  18. Debbie Marquis says

    I am no learning about this great nation. my first impression as a child was of famine and war. I am surprised at the rich history of this great nation. I only hope that one day she will returnto her glory. !

  19. Ancient Indigenous One says

    Mengistu and the bloody Dergue what a bunch of devils.

  20. Sramana Dasyu says

    we Africans will fight if we find it necessary, and we know we shall win, for we are confident in the victory of GOOD over evil. HIM 4 ever living.

  21. triscot ronde says

    Hail His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I creator of Ethiopia.

  22. Mad World Leaders says

    I read a book of confession or shall i say history that the decision of killing these great people was not at all Derg's but MEASON's a party of intellectuals most of them students from Europe it says that Derg tried to save Ato Aklilu Habtewold but they refused. They even wanted to kill more if it was not for Derg.

  23. Dereje Belew says

    I haven seen this video so many times. I will see it again and again. RIP. Thank you so much for sharing this video. God bless you and Ethiopian people all over the world!!

He is most famous for his creation of the Chindits, airborne deep-penetration troops trained to work behind enemy lines in the Far East campaigns against the and not mention this generals were the one whom bombed Maqelle Tigray Ethiopia for two weeks in  year of 1943 for behalf of Haile Selassie Teferi traitor against First Weyanayi Tigrayans Ethiopians revolutionaries fighters led by native of Samerea Enderta Tigray Ethiopia because those  Tigrayans Ethiopians refused not be ruled by non  TembienTigrayans Ethiopians Orthodox Christians beliefs, refused not be ruled by non Enderta Tigrayans Ethiopians orthodox Christians beliefs and as well as by non Agew Ethiopians Orthodox Christian belief due to Haile Selassie Teferi traitor was not Tigrayan Ethiopian or not Agew Ethiopian person period

  25. drakehero3232 says

    Just remember that forget in the time of Muhamad and khadijah that was in 611 to 628 A.D even  when the Europeans were paraded in Paris France for the cartoonist condemnation then Palestinian leader was  smiling and leaning toward the  Germany's chancellor she who is woman too that I,was watching by my Eagle's eyes right from youtube clip picture period

  26. drakehero3232 says

    this  kind of  Militaries cloths did not helping to general Oreste Barateiri  against Ras Alula Abba Nega or to Savage Muslims Arabs Egyptians and as well as Savage Mahdi Muslims Sudanese invaders from 1885 to 1897 period instead to the bravery Orthodox Christians Tembien Tigrayans Ethiopaisn defeated them  every corner of Ethiopia upto present still our parents Ethiopaisn do not wear  this kind of cloths because they are/were ancient Ethiopians not  Roman Empire or not Ottoman Empire

  27. Lidj Binyamin Tefari says

    Ethiopian brothers and sisters, please understand what the Monarchy, with our King of Kings STAND for, even today. Only the return of Iyesus can change that. Hold fast to that true "Christian Faith". Igyer ymesgen!   

  28. menilik0001 says

    What a great genration of Ethiopians who laid the foundation of modern Ethiopia, suave, sophisticated and cultured. Rest in peace.

  29. Alexander Tessema says

    These are the best of the best of Ethiopian minds and leadership. True Ethiopians in minds, hearts, body and soul. These "great people" were killed by the dog man Mensgitu and the derg. Ende meliku libum yetekore sew new. I hope he will burn alive in hell in judgment of what he did to these great and innocent Ethiopians. It will take another 100 years to produce great minds like those in Ethiopia. RIP my proud people. I am proud of you for you have reserved my motherland with pride and dignity both at home and in the world stage. I believe that "Constitutional Monarchy" is an excellent option for Ethiopia instead of the current barbarian ethnic politics. Ethiopia has been in dark ages since then and all our people are suffering. We need to change our course for the better and brighter future otherwise we are doomed. You will always be the eternal heroes and the greatest sons and daughters of Ethiopia. Mighty God of Israel and of Ethiopia, forgive us all and bless Ethiopia and Ethiopians for ever.

    Great video and a piece of history . I commend who ever posted this. Having said that, it is easy to blame or praise history makers. Haile Selassie was a power hungry , self aggrandizing and yet a nation loving and compassionate leader. Looking back, what he has done was NOT BAD. Those of you who blame others, show me what you have done for your country! It was too bad Teferi didn't pay attention to his people while partying abroad…

  32. Ae Geb says

    Mengistu the Monster Coward Communist ex-Leader of Ethiopia…….May God never give you peace whether in life or in death.

  33. Liseyas Sanchase says

    Ethiopian scholars are responsible for this..

  34. Radiosky Raheem says

    I hope one of these days the devil Mengistu Hailemariam will face justice in front of the Ethiopian people.

    Rest in Peace!

  36. Ras Alula says

    I agree the Derg killed Ethiopia and woyane buried us ………… the horrible crimes made by DERG has no comparison; no justice they were slaughtered like animals while they give the best of institutions that Ethiopia had never had; will never have again! Woyane is a calamity yes Monarchy is the only solution for Ethiopia, had they known!!! May we see that day when we will give them all State funeral. We grieve , RIP all of you children of God. Mengue Egziaber ketatun yadersebeh! Like meles

  37. waffiki says

    it was started by germame and mengestu neway, brothers who killed do many officials including Abebe Aregai- who destroyed the fascists and brought honor to Ethiopia.
    if it wasn't evil mengestu, there would have been somebody else. Ethiopia is surrounded by enemies, the hardest to beat are when it is our own people who are betraying us.
