Ex-Ethiopian dictator convicted of genocide
Former Ethiopian dictator Mengistu Haile Mariam was convicted Tuesday of genocide and other charges in a rare case of an African strongman being called to account by his own country.

Mengistu is living in exile in Zimbabwe and was being tried in absentia.

Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe has pledged not to deport Mengistu as long as he does not engage in political activity.
