አዎ እኔም የእብድ የቃውስ የሸርሙጣ ትርጉም ለነፃነት የሚታገሉ ኢትዮጵያዊነትን የሚሰብክ ግፈኞችን የሚታገል…ለኢትዮጵያዊነት የሚኖር ከሆነ አዎ እብድ ነኝ አዎ ቀውስ ነኝ አዎ ሸርሙጣ ነኝ እላቸዋለው፡፡
Who were these two best friends of the 1960s inteligencia?
================================
They are Haile Fida (left) and Negede Gobeze (right). Both were Ethiopian politicians, best friends and leaders of the All-Ethiopia Socialist Movement (popularly known as "MEISON",). Haile Fida was from Oromo and Negede Gobeze was from Amhara both were revolutionist who had been studying in France since the early 1960s, and had acquired a Marxist ideology that was closer to the Soviet version. Haile Fida was the one who drafted the Program for the National Democratic Revolution on behalf of the Derg. They returned to Ethiopia soon after the start of the Ethiopian Revolution, sometime in 1975, having answered the Derg's appeal for all educated Ethiopians to return home to help modernize the country. But they found out that they were wrong as Derg continue to kill and brutally imprisoned many young citizens in major towns. They eventually supported the 1976 failed coup attempt against Mengistu. On 26 August 1976 Haile Fida with several other leaders were captured outside of Addis Ababa, a number of the other MEISON leaders were killed either on the spot or in subsequent shoot-outs. The two best friends were separated forever as Negede Gobeze managed to escape the Derg, and found sanctuary in Yemen, Haile Fide languished in prison for some time, until at last he was executed; the circumstances of his death are unclear, but Andargachew Tiruneh states that he was killed two years after his arrest, in 1979.
