These events led to the Haile Selassie government's forced displacement efforts on Hararis, to break their control of Harar.[25] A Harar Oromo proverb alludes to this occasion: "On that day Hararis were eliminated from earth."[26] Former Mayor of Harar Bereket Selassie reported that both the Amhara and Oromo viewed Hararis with contempt.[27] Haile Selassie's overthrow by the Derg communist regime made minor differences for the Harari; they describe it as "little more than a transition from the frying pan into the fire".[28] The 1975 rural act disenfranchised Hararis from their farm land, forcing many to emigrate.[29] The surviving Harari relatives of Kulub movement members would join the Somali Armed Forces; and some, having been promoted as high-ranking military officers, fought in the Ogaden War to free Harari/Somali territory from Ethiopian rule.[30] Hararis were also involved in the WSLF.[31] After Ethiopians won the war in Ogaden, Derg soldiers began massacring civilians in Harari areas of Addis Ababa for collaborating with Somalis.[32] Today Hararis are outnumbered in their own state by the Amhara and Oromo people.
