Менгисту Хайле Мариам
The early 1990s was a burgeoning period in the history of Ethiopian writing and journalism. The military junta led by Mengistu Haile Mariam collapsed and was overthrown by a rebel group, the Tigrayan People's Liberation Front (TPLF), which later evolved into the coalition Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) that formed the transitional government.
