Ethiopia's Tiglachin Monument: Three continents, united in stone
Towering over Addis Ababa stands a potent symbol of the Ethiopian capital's history of internationalism. The Tiglachin Monument was sculpted by artists from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea to commemorate the Cuban soldiers died defending Ethiopia in the 1977-78 Ogaden War. It remains an iconic testament to the intertwined histories of Africa, Asia and Latin America.

Red Terror Martyrs Memorial Museum in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
Red Terror Martyrs Memorial Museum in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
The “Red Terror” Martyr’s Memorial Museum in Addis Ababa was unveiled in 2010 to honor the victims of Mengistu Haile Mariam’s Derg Regime. Anywhere between 500,000 and 750,000 people were tortured and killed during the brutality.
The museum is a memorial to the martyrs who fought against the dictator’s violent military campaign. Although the museum is modern, clean, and well presented, it doesn’t pull its punches. It’s full of coffins, bloodied clothes, and images that tell the story of this devastating period in the country’s history.
One particular room contains a number of glass-fronted partitions displaying the remains and personal effects of people killed by the regime. The remains had been exhumed and placed in the museum as they had been found. Some of them even included the rope used to strangle the person. Each partition also includes a photo of the victim.
Ethiopia’s “Red Terror” reached its height between 1977 and 1978. Men, women, and children from various ethnic groups were tortured and killed under the dictator’s plan to rid the country of those who allegedly opposed his party. Citizens were captured and tortured before their dead bodies were dumped in the streets.
Some of the museum guides themselves are victims of the terror, pointing out that they too suffered the various methods of torture displayed in graphic detail by mannequins.
The museum is free but does rely on donations. After witnessing the exhibits in this building it would be hard not to leave a generous sum.

Red Terror Museum in Addis Ababa Ethiopia
View of Museum in Addis Ababa.
Mengistu officially began his campaign with a speech in Revolution Square (formerly and currently Meskel Square) in the heart of Addis Ababa, which included the words Death to counterrevolutionaries! Death to the EPRP! When he delivered these words, he produced three bottles of what appeared to be blood and smashed them to the ground to show what the revolution would do to its enemies. This campaign involved organized groups of civilians, or kebeles, which within a month's time began to receive arms from the Derg. Contrary to expectations, note the Ottaways, these squads did not all side with the Derg or heed its call to track down 'reactionaries' and 'anarchists'. Rather, many followed their own whim and law, in accordance to the political faction that controlled each kebele or factory. Not only had numerous defense squads been infiltrated by the EPRP, but also those controlled by the Political Bureau were often bent on furthering the interests of MEISON rather than the Derg.
The Ottaways date the height of the Red Terror in Addis Ababa to 22 March, when the Derg felt that they had armed enough civilian groups to permit a house-by-house search for EPRP members, arms, and other paraphernalia. However the search was anything but systematic, the Ottways note, with each squad a law unto itself. Some looked only for arms, but others confiscated food supplies, building materials, and gasoline; some considered cameras espionage equipment, and others regarded typewriters as highly dangerous. Despite many being taken from their homes in the middle of the night, some never to return home, few of the top leaders of the EPRP were amongst the dead.
A number of distinctly ugly incidents followed. One was at the Berhanena Selam Printing Press, where three days later a dozen workers were arrested for being EPRP members, then afterwards released for lack of evidence; on the morning of 26 March, nine of them were found murdered, including a woman in an advanced stage of pregnancy, which shocked the city. The deaths were found to be the responsibility of a certain Girma Kebede, and who was later found to be the Political Bureau's chief executioner; he had already murdered twenty-four persons and had a list of over two hundred others he was supposed to liquidate. Embarrassed, the Derg had him and five associates executed as counterrevolutionaries on 2 April.
Despite this brutality, the EPRP continued to strike back, best as it could. As one contemporary report, describes:
In and around the capital, the main opposition group is the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Party (E.P.R.P.) .... E.P.R.P. has given the Dergue good reason to be nervous: it has assassinated more than 20 government officials, mounted at least one daring raid on Dergue headquarters, and even wounded Mengistu in an ambush. One rebel sympathizer accosted Correspondent Griggs on a busy downtown street and boasted: We have 700 marksmen, and some of them are Mengistu's own soldiers. It will take time, but we will clean out the pseudo-Marxist military leaders eventually.
Events like this led to tension between the Derg junta (and presumably Mengistu) and the civilian Political Bureau. Concern over the threat of the EPRP kept this tension from becoming a definite break until the eve of May Day, when the Political Bureau, on the pretext that an anti-government protest was in the offing, ordered the kebeles to arrest any young person suspected of being an EPRP member. According to the Ottaways, Hundreds were arrested, taken to three different sites on the outskirts of Addis Ababa, and executed en masse. Scores of others were gunned down in the streets by the Derg's 'permanent secretaries', the jeeps mounted with machine guns constantly patrolling the streets of Addis Ababa. The death toll may have been as high as one thousand. Afterwards, the Derg disavowed this outrage and put the blame for the slaughter on the Political Bureau in a proclamation on 14 July. The Bureau's leader Haile Fide and a group of his followers attempted to flee the capital the following August, but were caught.
At the same time, the Red Terror made MEISON its next target. Sensing danger, writes Bahru Zewde, the leaders of the organization hastily tried to go underground. But almost all of them were either captured or killed in August 1977 as they tried to retreat into the countryside in several detachments.
Thousands of men and women were rounded up and executed in the following two years.[9][16] Amnesty International estimates that the death toll could be as high as 500,000. Groups of people were herded into churches that were then burned down, and women were subjected to systematic rape by soldiers. The Save the Children Fund reported that the victims of the Red Terror included not only adults, but 1,000 or more children, mostly aged between eleven and thirteen, whose corpses were left in the streets of Addis Ababa

The Marathon World Record - BAREFOOT! || ABEBE BIKILA - ETHIOPIA
In 1960 and 1964, Abebe Bikila from Ethiopia won both Olympic Marathons, breaking the existing world record at each race. In 1960, Bikila famously ran WITHOUT SHOES as the shoes he had with him were too uncomfortable. Although he was barefoot, Bikila ran a time of 2:15.16, breaking the world record in the marathon by 8 tenths of a second!
Bikila's second world record run, which took place in the 1964 Olympic Marathon, broke the previous world record by almost 2 minutes as it took the record from 2:13.55 to 2:11.12!
Bikila will forever be remembered as the original East African Olympic Icon, and although he tragically passed away at the age of 41, his memory will forever live on.
Thanks for watching!

Aid money and rebel groups
On 3 March 2010, Martin Plaut of the BBC published evidence that millions of dollars worth of aids to the Ethiopian famine were spent in buying weapons by the Tigrayan People's Liberation Front, a rebel group trying to overthrow the Ethiopian government at the time. Rebel soldiers said they posed as merchants as a trick for the NGOs. The report also cited a CIA document saying aid was almost certainly being diverted for military purposes. One rebel leader estimated $95 million (£63 million). Plaut also said that other NGOs were under the influence or control of the Derg military junta. Some journalists suggested that the Derg was able to use Live Aid and Oxfam money to fund its enforced resettlement and villagification programmes, under which at least 3 million people are said to have been displaced and between 50,000 and 100,000 killed.

Ethiopia marks the day in accordance with Coptic calendar
Tuesday has been Christmas day in Ethiopia. Ethiopia marks the day on 7th of January, unlike most parts of the world where the ceremony is recognized on 25th of December. The country, which is largely Orthodox Christian, follows the Coptic calendar. CGTN's Coletta Wanjohi visited a small community in Addis Ababa, that has slaughtered an ox together every Christmas for over 3 decades.
