The voluminous trove of documentary evidence collected by the SPP was made the Derg officials; its probative value could not be contested successfully by the accused themselves. As will be shown in Chap. 5, the SPP did not face evidentiary problems. The mass of relevant documentary evidence and testimonies of witnesses helped the SPP to successfully prosecute the Derg officials. This makes the Ethiopian processes of bringing Derg officials to book similar to that of the Nuremberg trial,104 an African Nuremberg . However, unlike the Nuremberg trial, the SPP introduced a large number of witnesses in the trials.105 In Nuremberg ‘thirty-three witnesses gave evidence orally for the prosecution against the individual defendants, and sixty-one witnesses, in addition to nineteen of the defendants, gave evidence for the defence.’106 On the contrary, in the Red Terror trials about 8,000 state witnesses testified. For instance, in the case of Mengistu et al alone, over 700 state witnesses and over 62 defense witnesses testified.107 It has to be born in mind; however, that the Red Terror Trials involved enormous number of cases and a wider array and larger number of accused.108
