Line 3:
In May 1991, after hearing of [[Mengistu Haile Mariam]]'s fall from power, he fled to the [[Italy|Italian]] embassy in [[Addis Ababa]], along with Lieutenant General [[Tesfaye Gebre Kidan]], Foreign Minister [[Berhanu Bayeh]] and Chief of General Staff [[Adis Tedla]]. He was succeeded by [[Tesfaye Dinka]].
 
While the other two remained at the embassy for years, Hailu committed suicide on [[May 26]] 1991, after only a short time in the embassy compound.
 
Following the murderdeath of General Tesfaye (thirteen years later on [[June 2]], [[2004]]), rumors began to circulate caused by the embassy's lack of detail on the death of both General Tesfaye and Haile's earlier suicide. The Ethiopian government demanded Italian records on the incidents during that month.
