PAGE 6 African I! l>?i ^r? J VHtari . V \ ^ ^^ -? - i?? ~*^-~ ~ Ethiopia - The Passin * The recent overthrow of Emptor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia by a group of Army officers marks yet another stage in the forceful removal from office of an African ruler. This type of change is familiar now in Africa where many countries have military dictatorship as their government. The ripplca of the events in EthTopia nave sent some waves of concern to many countries of Africa where one man has been in v power too long. One of the many reasons for Emperor Haile Selassie's overthrow is said to be that he has occupied the throne of Ethiopia too long - over 50 years. Somepropie iSeH&be that he Has stayed too close with the problems of EtTffopia that he no longer recognized them as problems. Many say that he would have retired ten years ago and that in 20 years time Ethiopia may be one of the progressive countries in Africa but that today Ethiopia is 20 years behind when ___compared with many otherAfrican?countries in terms progress and achievement. The (j uestion is, do the soldiers have a better answer? From the r< cords of other, countries where soldiers are in charge, the prospect is not very bright. Soldiers seem to lack the kind of experience necessary for effective a'dministration of young and developing nations. Even when some of them seem to be sincere and willing to bring about some good changes, they soon fall ^ ?- into the same trap that caught the politicians they overthrewmoney and wealth. To maintain their hold to power they soon found that they most rely heavily on people from their own ethnic group and by the time they knew it, theif mamas and papas are. running the country. Then comes the cry of tribalism. Since the press is often the~ most voc^fl in pointing out the shortcomings of military dictatorship, the press is often the first to suffer in such a situation.

Should the old man die in detention, the people of Ethiopia will probably assume that their .ruler, who, weeks ago was considered by many in Ethiopia a^ god, is murdered. As a martyr, rallying point for those in that ? country that will like to settle some old animosity^?Alive* allegiance to the soldiers will probably be minimal since some Ethiopians will probably feel that the old man will sooner or later make his usual come back. To side with the army now will be to suffer later. The overthrow of the Emperor will probably not answerEthiopia's many social and domestic problems. Honeymoon has a way of lasting too short and the ills that face a nation surface again when promises of quick result do not materialize. In such a situation, the people often ask. why go out to look for another devil instead of living with the devil they know since all the devils are the same? At the present ^time, no one . leader has emerged in Ethiopia to take the reigns of power. In the event that this vacuum remains unfilled, the chances are that the people of Ethiopia will neither solve their many problems nor have a government to make the necessary decisions for change. n.e. mmmmmmmmmmmmu auc | :ETY I ICER J-SALEM is now accepting >d men and women who. are ing and rewarding careers. *e given excellent Fire and n $644 - $998 per month. fits.
