  • The 1958–1975 Wollo–Tigray famine, also known as the Wollo–Tigray famine, was provincial, and later enlarged nationwide series of famines in the Ethiopian Empire during the reign of Emperor Haile Selassie. The first famine was reported in Tigray Province in 1958, after prolonged negligence of the imperial government for years until a report of Were Ilu famine to the Ministry of the Interior in 1965. In November 1965, after the situation came to light to police, the information reached the Emperor taking 320 days, and the Emperor reinforced the Ministry of the Interior to respond to local Wollo officials for enlisting the victims of the famine. The famine widely ravaged the two provinces as well as converging areas such as Afar-inhabited arid region by early 1972. During the 1972 and 1973, the famine killed between 40,000 and 80,000 people. In response, the government initiated the Relief and Rehabilitation Commission (RRC), a department that aim to reduce the famine severity and coordinate international assistance. The famine led mobilization of pastoralists and nomads in general, while alluring advantage to feudal landlords that forced tenants to pay large rents while escorting their retinue of armed guards. The Wollo famine is regarded as the main cause of Haile Selassie government collapse. It has been estimated that the death toll reached 250,000 people in 1975. This has coupled peasants revolution in Ethiopia, continued through the successive Derg regime. Notable of such incident was the rebellion of Dejazmach Berhane Meskel, who assaults the former landlords and government security forces, as well as attacked the Derg government for years. (en)
