Editing Addis Ababa (section)

====Federal Democratic Republic (since 1991)====
On 28 May 1991, the [[Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front]] (EPRDF), a coalition party in course of [[Fall of the Derg regime|overthrowing the Derg]], seized Addis Ababa. They entered Menelik II Avenue and ordered a curfew for 24 hours. According to a witness, residents of Addis Ababa were ignorant and not terrified by the event, as the military told them everything was safe. The military went to central locations of the city (such as Hilton Hotel) and displayed banners  "Peace, Solidarity, Friendship". At 5:30 am, they took control of the presidential palace and large-scale tanks were seen entering the area.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Addis Ababa falls to dawn onslaught |url=https://www.theguardian.com/theguardian/1991/may/29/fromthearchive |access-date=2022-03-20 |website=The Guardian |archive-date=20 March 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220320201354/https://amp.theguardian.com/theguardian/1991/may/29/fromthearchive |url-status=live }}</ref>
