The evil Hailesselasie supported by the western powers was the most criminal feudal Ethiopian that turned back the development of capitalist Eritrea 100 years back. After British occupied Eritrea, the Western powers had imposed a United Nations mandate on the region and made Eritrea forcefully a semi-autonomous territory under the sovereignty of Ethiopia. The U.S. Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles, explained:

“From the point of view of justice, the opinions of the Eritrean people must receive consideration. Nevertheless, the strategic interest of the United States … [makes] it necessary that the country has to be linked with our ally, Ethiopia.”

Furthermore, Haile Selassie never respected the autonomy agreement & Eritrea’s independent institutions were gradually subverted, political parties were banned, and Tigrinya, Tigre, and Arabic were suppressed as the languages of Eritrea and replaced by Amharic. The following year Eritrea was formally annexed by Ethiopia and became just another of its many provinces. In Eritrea, there were more than 300 factories. The Haile Selassie government was taking everything worthwhile out of the country to Ethiopia. Here is a short list of atrocities that committed by the Haile Selassie regime against civilians by the Second Ethiopian Army division:

1965 at Merara, Hamassien province, and at Medeka, Keren province 67 men and 46 men respectively were killed by the Ethiopian soldiers.

On 11 February 1967, many villages were burnt down in Barka district by the Second Ethiopian Army division. According to reports from local community leaders, 402 civilians were killed, and about 60,000 cattle and camels slaughtered with machine guns and knives and burning alive. In addition 21 detainees, most of them teachers and government employees were summarily executed in Tessenei prison on February 12.

Following an attack launched by the Ethiopian army against the area where the Eritrean Liberation Front was operating, 28, 600 refugees crossed into Sudan in March 1967.

The February-March 1967 martyrs at the villages of Ad-Ebrihim, Ad-Kukui, Ad-Jemil, Ad-Omer, Ad-Saydna Hamid, Ad-Gherbet, Ad-Fedl, Ad-Habab, Emtrub, Mogoraib and others in Barka who were killed after the burning of 62 thriving villages and the machine-gunning of over 60,000 of their livestock. Renewed burning campaigns of that year killed many and displaced thousands after burning the villages of Halhal, Bab-Jengeren, Hamelmalo, Melebso, Felhit, Enchinaq, Hashishai, Fana, Wazintet, Qamchewa, Azreqet, Habero and many others put at 173 villages by some field researchers.

Between February and April in 1967, the Ethiopian soldiers burned 62 villages, including Mogoraib, Zamla, Ad Ibrahim, Gerset Gurgur, Adi Bera, Asir, Fori, and Ad Habab. Furthermore, 402 civilians were killed, and about 60, 000 cattle and camels slaughtered with machine guns and knives and by burning them alive. This was reported by local community leaders.

Between 30 April and 8 May 1967, the Ethiopian army burnt 120 villages to the ground, with an estimated 10, 000 people killed and approximately 50,000 fleeings to more secure parts of the country, or into Sudan as refugees. Eritreans for Liberation in North America,( EFLNA, 1977:23.). Reporting on the military actions against civilians in the southern lowlands and districts surrounding the town of Keren in Senhit Province, an Ethiopian. prisoner of war commented.

"It is true that whenever we were going to or coming from a battle, we used to burn many village s on the way, kill anyone insight and take away whatever property we could put our hands on. For instance, I can recall, when we were engaged in a battle near Keren around December 1967, seeing many villages burnt such as Babjengen", Halhal(cited in Eritrean People's Liberation Front, 1982: 72). Furthermore, according to the ELF (sep.1977) report, an estimated number of 40,000 civilians were massacred during the six years of the armed struggle. Over 1,500 villages were given to flames, 3,000 forced-settlers were created

Your question is not clear.
As an Eritrean all I can say is that some one's hero is others villain.
So if you want the right answer, specify whom you are directing your question.

The enemies within who hate Ase H/Selassie, Ase Minilik and Ethiopia means they hate every single Ethiopians and want to destroy you. That is why ever since the overthrow of Ase H/Selassie Ethiopians have been dying like a fly and they are nearing to kill Ethiopia, mark my word. These enemies whom they tell you they hate Agame like Kuasmeda above, clear 12, etc are cleansing Ethiopians right and left with Tplf, Olf and now pretty soon Abn. The fact that we are in ER dominated by Shabians, Tplf and Olf says they are ready to eliminate you while you are talking to them ER. They are right at a target that using ER, they are insulting humiliating the name of Ethiopians, their past leaders and no one can stop them. That is why unless Ethiopia eliminate these evils, Ethiopians will cease to exist. The cowards Ethiopians have been sleeping with them, almost like begging and nothing had changed for the past 30 years. Most of the reason is the complex they have towards Ase H/Selassie and Ase Minilik, why why would they have complex toward their own type of people while cow towing with foreign enemies? Boggles the mind and typical house [ deleted ] type. It doesn't matter, until they eliminate Ethiopia reach their agenda, they will continue to paint bad picture of the Ases.
