Ethiopian Civil War (1974-1991): Why Did the World Ignore a Genocide?

For nearly two decades, the world looked away as the Horn of Africa descended into a nightmare. While the headlines focused on the Cold War and Live Aid concerts, a brutal regime was systematically erasing a generation behind closed borders. In 1974, the 3,000-year-old Ethiopian Empire collapsed, overthrowing Haile Selassie—the Lion of Judah. But what replaced the monarchy was not freedom. It was the Derg, a Marxist dictatorship led by Mengistu Haile Mariam, a man who would unleash the "Red Terror" and weaponize famine against his own people. In this episode of The War Archive, we uncover the full history of the Ethiopian Civil War. We examine how the Soviet Union poured $11 billion of weapons into a starving nation, how Western aid was manipulated, and why the death of over a million people remains one of the most overlooked tragedies of the 20th century. This is the story of an empire that fell from within, and the shadow that still hangs over Africa today. #ethiopiancivilwar #thewararchive #coldwar #historydocumentary #geopolitics Subscribe to our channel and turn on notifications (🔔) so you don't miss any videos:    / @thewararchivechannel
