The Ethiopian Red Terror, also known as the Qey Shibir (Amharic: ቀይ ሽብር, romanized: ḳäy shəbbər), was a violent political repression campaign of the Derg against other competing Marxist-Leninist groups in Ethiopia and present-day Eritrea from 1976 to 1978. This wave of repression followed Ethiopian People’s Revolutionary Party's guerrilla assassination campaign, which targeted and killed fifty Derg officials and Derg supporters.
