I am not much happy about the trial of Mengistu Hailemariam of Ethiopia. Regardless of the dicision passed up on him, he is living and continue living in a luxirous life with the other dictator Mugabe. First of all the decision shouldnt take this much time since all his brutal actions are open for every one. If some one goes to Addis Ababa and ask any body, he can get all the informations( ofcourse the bad acts) that Mengistu did. Not only his mass killing but the current poverty of the country is also the product of his mismanagment. The current dictator government of the country is also the product of him. The people of Ethiopia accepted the current government due to the unbearable burden that was inposed by Mengistues regim. But it is a bad luck we transfered from one dictator to another dictator.
