Good fucking riddance (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7420212.stm).

I hope Zimbabwe gets a new government and extradites him, so he can suffer the fate he so richly deserves.

Obviously Ethiopia has been corrupted by bourgeois western capitalist ideology and has abandoned the workers paradise it once was. This will easily be corrected by the glorious revolution by our proletariat comrades that is sure to follow.

A man so intricately linked to the destruction of what was, historically, one of the worlds strongest economies, and who made black African countries that were able to withstand the invasion of the European empires in the age of Imperialism subservient to a foreign master, that he cannot but be guilty of countless crimes against humanity and the people of Ethiopia.

I object to the use to comrade Stalin's name before his mans name, he was little but a pawn of Soviet-Cuban revisionist social-imperialism in Africa, and was nothing but a fake Marxist-Leninist.

Ethiopia is fucked up anyway. Whether Haile Selassie or Mengistu Haile Mariam or the current regime is in power really makes no difference.

I can think of a myriad of countries who would take him. Libya, Syria etc.

I'm not so sure. Both the Syrian leadership and Colonel Qaddafi have been making moves to try and have better relationships with the west, and Qaddafi is pushing the United Africa line pretty strongly - so he wouldn't want to piss off a large section of Northern Africa.

A lot of these countries used to give automatic asylum to people in order to A) cozy up to the Soviet Union and B) piss off the USA. But neither case applies today, since the USSR is gone and the US doesn't care.

The only countries he could maybe get asylum from these days is China or NK. But hopefully they'll decide not to get involved.

Probably better than the noose.
