In May 1991, after hearing of Mengistu Haile Mariam 's fall from power, he fled to the Italian embassy in Addis Ababa along with Lieutenant General Tesfaye Gebre Kidan , Foreign Minister Berhanu Bayeh , and Chief of General Staff Adis Tedla . He was succeeded by Tesfaye Dinka . While the other two remained at the embassy for years, Yimenu committed suicide on May 26th 1991 after only a short time in the embassy compound. Following the death of Gebre Kidan years afterwards, rumors began to circulate caused by the embassy's lack of detail on the death of both Gebre Kidan and Yimenu's earlier suicide. The Ethiopian government demanded Italian records on the incidents in June 2004. He was succeeded by Tesfaye Dinka . |
