Ethiopia UN Service Medal Derg Era 1974 1991

Ethiopia: UN Service Medal.
Obverse: The emblem of the United Nations 
and the inscription "United Nations Service 
Medal" in Amharic characters.
The medal was established in 1980 by 
Mengistu Haile Mariam, leader of Ethiopia 
during the Derg era (in office: 1977-1991). 
It was awarded to Ethiopian personnel that 
served in international humanitarian or 
peacekeeping missions under the United 
Nations mandate.
The Medal (with different ribbon) had also 
been awarded to non-Ethiopian UN workers 
who responded to the drought and famine 
in Ethiopia, mainly in food, water and aid 
distribution, during the 1990's. For this 
reason, it is sometimes referred to as the 
"Famine Medal".
