The 2005 Massacres In the aftermath of the 2005 Ethiopian Election, soon after Meles Zenawi declared live on Ethiopian Television that the security services, police and army were under his direct control, his TPLF security forces (Agazi) massacred 193 people who protested against election fraud in June and November 2005. The victims were shot, beaten and strangled. The demonstrators were unarmed, yet the majority died from shots to the head. Many people were killed arbitrarily, old men were killed while in their homes, and children were also victims of the attack while playing in the garden. The unrest followed parliamentary elections in May 2005, which the regime lost, but announced an illegal victory. The opposition parties confronted the regime peacefully and within the constitution, saying the election was marred by fraud, intimidation and violence. Below are various facts on the Ethiopian Massacre of 2005 in various medium. |
