Emperor Haile Selassie, who ruled Ethiopia for 54 years as a hereditary monarch and monarch, died on this day in 1967. 

 

Emperor Haile Selassie, in February 1966, a popular uprising weakened his government, and his term in office came to an end. 

 

The military Derg, which had controlled the movement of the people through abduction, seized power on September 2, 1967, and arrested Emperor Haile Selassie. 

 

After 11 and a half months in prison, his death was announced to the public on August 21, 1967, due to illness. 

 

It was decided that his burial would be held in an undisclosed location. 

 

The Derg, led by Colonel Mengistu, had been rumored to have died of illness as long as Emperor Haile Selassie was in power. 

 

After the Derg was overthrown, the Derg Chairman Colonel Mengistu Haile Mariam and his followers Shambel Fikresellasie Wagderes and Colonel Fiseha Desta Nigusu were killed and buried in their books.

 

However, the fact that Emperor Haile Selassie was killed was confirmed by his guards and bodyguards to the court hearing his case. 

The Special Prosecutor, through documentary evidence, confirmed that the Derg Standing Committee decided to kill him at a meeting held on December 17, 1967.

 

A letter signed by the Derg Deputy Chairman Colonel Atnafu Abate, which was recently published on social media, shows that the Derg members decided to kill him.

 

After the military Derg assassinated Emperor Haile Selassie, his doctor said that he died of illness. Professor Asrat Woldeyes was not found, he announced to the controlled media.

 

Professor Asrat, in his later testimony to the court, testified that no one called him that day, and that he did not leave his home or workplace at that time.

 

Earlier, the Derg security chief, Colonel Daniel Asfa and his associates, tried to force him to take the pill, but Janhoi resisted, and the pill suddenly fell and disappeared, and the soldiers left in anger, according to his wife. 

 

After his death was announced, the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, through the Patriarch His Holiness Abune Theophilos, requested permission to perform his funeral rites.

 

But they were not allowed.

 

After the EPRDF took power, according to a tip-off, the remains of Emperor Haile Selassie were found buried under the office of Colonel Mengistu Hailemariam.
