In a statement issued on Tuesday, the ruling Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF), broke its silence, after almost a decade, denouncing the Emperor as a despot and tyrant who oppressed and exploited the masses.

It is believed that the statement is aimed at defusing rising criticism at the government's lack of support for the reburial of the man who is regarded as a figurehead of African independence.

In the months leading to this reburial, members of the Ethiopian imperial family in exile and supporters of Emperor Haile Selasssie, have called on the Ethiopian Government to make the funeral a state occasion.

But the EPRDF has refused, saying that it is "a family affair, rather than a state occasion".

Despite this, with the help of contributions from Ethiopians in the country and those living in the diaspora, the funeral is going ahead. Organisers say it will be a "modest, yet dignified affair".

Requiem masses and vigils have been held in all 500,000 churches and monasteries in Ethiopia, according to Archbishop Girima, of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church.

The funeral cortege will leave Ba'ata Mariam Geda Church at dawn and follow a 10km (six mile) route to the Trinity Cathedral, via the main Meskal Square in Addis Ababa.

This is a unique and detailed first-hand account of Ethiopia in 1896-98 -- at the change of an era -- by a Russian officer with remarkable understanding for the many varied people who lived there and keen insight into their destiny.

Amharic is the national language of Ethiopia. It is the second most spoken Semitic language in the world. Over 2.7 million immigrants outside of Ethiopia speak Amharic. As much as we interact as immigrants in different languages globally, we will think and dream in Amharic. (T-shorts)
