The Ethiopian Exception: Resisting the Irresistible (Part 3)
We trace the 1960 palace coup, the rise of a critical elite, and the famine that shattered Haile Selassie’s story of gradual reform. The fall of the emperor and the Derg’s ascent reveal how Ethiopian exceptionalism became both a source of pride and a barrier to change.
