- W264844477 abstract "Ababa is nine degrees north of the equator, a city of brutal sun and cold nights chilled by mountain ringed by hilltops, and fed by springs that tumble into polluted creeks swarmed by buzzards and hawks. is a city of old palaces hidden by soaring gates and of dirt alleys that vanish into neighborhoods of mud and scrap metal. is a city that smells of sweat and dung and diesel; a city in which herdsmen chase goats alongside traffic and children sell shoeshines and songs for pennies; a city of beauty as well as of misery, clinging to hope against all odds. More than 30 years ago this windblown, sunbaked African capital, banked approximately 7,700 feet in the Entoto Mountains, was reeling from revolution. A coup had toppled Haile Selassi, the 82-year-old emperor, the only ruler most Ethiopians had ever known, sparking a power struggle in which a pug-nosed army colonel named Mengistu Haile Mariam emerged as the most ruthless member of a secretive military jun ta called the Derg. After executing his military rivals, Mengistu went after the civil opposition with a series of search-and-destroy campaigns that he christened the Red Terror. People were caught hiding in ?he woods and at roadblocks, seized jumping over walls, and plucked from demonstrations, buses, and homes. It was a time when many young people simply vanished into thin air, wrote Nega Mezlekia in his memoir, Notes from the Hyena's Belly, calamity was beyond anyone's wildest imagination. The streets, public parks, and market stalls were littered with the open-mouthed dead. Africa Watch called it one of the most systematic uses of mass murder by a state ever witnessed in Africa." @default.
