About End of the Derg Day in Ethiopia
Civil Rights , Military
Africa
Ends: May 28, 2025
DESCRIPTION:
May 28 is an important date in Ethiopia because it marks the downfall of the Derg regime and the end of the Ethiopian Civil War. On May 28, 1991, the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF), a coalition of rebel groups, took control of the capital city, Addis Ababa, effectively ousting the military government led by Mengistu Haile Mariam.
The Derg, a Marxist-Leninist military junta, had ruled Ethiopia since 1974 when it overthrew Emperor Haile Selassie in a coup. The Derg's rule was marked by widespread human rights abuses, economic hardship, and social unrest, which eventually led to the Ethiopian Civil War. The conflict lasted from 1974 to 1991 and claimed countless lives, caused massive displacement, and devastated the country.
Although May 28 is not an official public holiday in Ethiopia, it is remembered by many as the day that marked the end of the Derg regime and the beginning of a new chapter in Ethiopian history. The date symbolizes the transition to a new political era and the hope for a more democratic and prosperous future.
