The World's 10 Worst Dictators
By David Wallechinsky
Published: February 13, 2005
The past year was a good one for
dictators—unfortunately. None of the most serious offenders lost his job.
Competition for the Top 10 Worst of the Worst was so heated that two
dictators who made last
year’s list were
nudged off—Fidel Castro of Cuba and King Mswati III of Swaziland—even
though their actions were as harsh as the year before. (See “Dishonorable
Mentions” below.) The following list has been
prepared after consultation with Human Rights Watch, Freedom House,
Amnesty International and Reporters Without Borders—human-rights groups
that have not hesitated to expose the policies of dictatorships on both
the left and the right. |

COUNTDOWN TO FEB
23 2005 |
Meskerem
2-22-05: Mesfin Hagos's meeting with
the US government, a positive move for the opposition.
Observers
agree that EDP Chairman Mesfin Hagos' meeting with the US
government, especially at this juncture, is a political and
diplomatic victory for the opposition and an encouragement
message to the Khartoum meeting. Although EDP refused to comment
on whether Mr. Mesfin Hagos will share with his comrades at
the Feb 23 meeting about his meeting with the US
government, it would be a surprise if he does not. It is to
be remembered that he has already shared the
information with the
Eritrean public in his meetings with Eritrean in Washington DC.
