Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox political party The Ethiopian Marxist–Leninist Revolutionary Organization (Amharic: ማርክሳዊ ሌኒናዊ ሪቮሊሽናዊ ድርጅትን), commonly known by its Amharic acronyms Malered or Emelared (Amharic: ማሌሪድ), was a communist organization in Ethiopia active from 1974 to the late 1970s.[1][2]

Formation

According to Bahru Zewde, the organization was formed through the merger of a domestic faction and an exiled splinter group of the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Party (EPRP).[3] According to Christopher Clapham, Malered could have been formed by EPRP members who wished to cooperate with the Derg military junta.[4] Andargachew Tiruneh, on the other hand, states that Malered could have emerged as an offshoot of the All-Ethiopian Socialist Movement (Meison) Youth League.[5] Fred Halliday supports the theory that Malered originated in Meison.[6]

The organization

Malered was led by Gulilat.[1] Politically, Malered was close to Meison.[5] Malered gave support to the Derg military junta, and the group was represented in the Provisional Office for Mass Organizational Affairs (POMOA).[7] Malered supported the entry of Seded (the new political organization formed by Derg militaries schooled in Marxism-Leninism) into POMOA.[8] When the National Democratic Revolutionary Programme of Ethiopia was declared in April 1976, Malered expressed its support to it and its willingness to join a common front with other groups supporting the revolution.[9] In December 1976, Malered published its own programme.[5]

In 1977, Malered took part in forming the Union of Ethiopian Marxist-Leninist Organizations together with four other groups (Meison, Seded, Echat and Waz League).[10] Malered was the smallest of these five parties.[4]

Events that led to its end

After the split between the Derg and Meison, the Derg would eventually begin crushing the smaller leftist groups like Malered.[11] Malered was eliminated from POMOA.[12] As of July 1979, there were reports that member of Malered had been arrested. At the time, Malered was the sole civilian political group still aligned with the Derg.[2]
