Former Ethiopian president Mengistu Haile Marian, seen here in a mural which was displayed at the ‘revolution square’ in addis ababa, now known as 'Meskel square'. Mengistu, the Ethiopian dictator who directed the 'Red Terror' in which thousands of people were killed, was convicted Tuesday, Dec. 12, 2006, of genocide. Mengistu has been living in exile in Zimbabwe since 1992 and was convicted in absentia after a 12-year trial. He could face the death penalty at his Dec. 28 sentencing, but Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe has refused to deport Mengistu. - Monday - December 11, 2006
