Imperfect Journey-A Documentary Film by Haile Gerima part 2

(PART 2 OF 7)
This is a documentary film on Ethiopia's modern history....from the brutal military regime of Mengistu Haile Mariams Derg to lives Ethiopian under the current EPRDF government....
NOTE: this film was made in the mid 90's so it doesn't really reflect what is occuring today in Ethiopia...although in some cases i think it does

Big thanx to Mr. Haile Gerima, who is a tremendously gifted filmmaker, for documenting an excruciating piece of our history to be viewed and learned from.

@princedaniel10 it sounds more like your wish. The only time the 'Meles' regime, as you call it, or the gov't acted aggressively was in the election 97 and most of the people weren't innocent as it is claimed,they even came 2 my highshool and threw stones at us and they broke buses and public and personal belongings, but there were few who were unfortunately hurt by other people's irresponsible actions.By no means is TPLF a perfect government but it deserves my respect for a lot of achievments.

When asked who ordered she say Mingestu!like I say he was not in commanIt seems that we have not learned from the past . Tigray elite mafia are doing what durg solders did to the people. Many Tigran are boosting because they mafias are in power. What about tomorrow ? Does this occur to us that the coming situation is going to be even worst? 75 million people are angry with the current ruler . All I can say is that god help us when that day come, because no one has learned anything!

What I don't get is that Colonel Mengistu Was not the leader of Durg at the time of those Ministers executed .But I see ppl keep referring his name! He came in power after not before. Well some one her wonder why Mengistu did not get death sentence , well Weyanee could not kill him b/c they know they have blood on their hand too! They would be face jail and execution as well for thousandths they have slaughter so go figure
