It is a very sad Museum. Red Terror took place in Ethiopia between 1976 to 1989. The military communist government in Ethiopia was trying to consolidate its power during this time and in the process started a systematic massacre of anyone they deemed opposition.It is a museum to commemorate this part of Ethiopia history where thousands of young people perished.

We received a tour in English from a survivor of the Red Terror. It was a very informative and heartbreaking account of the recent history of Ethiopia.

I heard about this part of Ethiopia's history from different sources, some were friends' personal stories, but seeing is believing! Incredibly moving, couldn't stop my tears.

Maybe I get more out of reading about thngs than seeing visuals since I found the latter disappointngly poor and not in anyway able to bring over the horror of the time.

A touching memorial of a trying time in Ethiopian history. This is not for the faint-hearted though, with real human remains of the madness that was Mengitsu's Red Terror. An absolute must for those resolute enough to endure these displays.
