 * Name of article: Red Terror (Ethiopia)
 * Briefly describe why you have chosen this article to evaluate. One topic that I am considering is Red Terror in Ethiopia. It was a huge political uprising between Ethiopia and Eritrea. Every thing on the article is pretty relevant to my topic; however, I think that some of the background information talks about other countries, which is a bit distracting.



The only information that would be important to add is that in 1991, the EPRDF took control of Ethiopia. Additionally, the article needs more information on both sides of the protest. It doesn't explain how the protests led to killings or talk about the brutality of the red terror. While article has many scholarly citations, a lot of the historical background comes from one source, so I would look into more sources for that section in order to ensure that I am representing every viewpoint. I think this is really important especially given the article's talk page. There is one section for both sides of the argument. One user writes that they don't think the red terror should be called a genocide due to the fact that people were revolting against the government whereas the other user doesn't think the article talks about the killings that happened under Mengistu's rule enough.
