Meskerem (Amharic: መስከረም) was a communist theoretical publication published in Ethiopia, issued by the Ideological Department of the Central Committee of the Commission for Organizing the Party of the Working People of Ethiopia.[1] The goal of Meskerem was to relate Marxist-Leninist theory to objective conditions in Ethiopia.[2] Meskerem functioned mainly as an instrument for political education.[3] Amha Dagnew was the editor-in-chief of Meskerem.[4]
Meskerem was published quarterly.[5] The first issue of Meskerem was published in September 1980 and the last issue (vol. 3, no. 14) was published in June 1983.[1] Meskerem, which appeared in both Amharic and English versions, had a circulation of 100,000.[3]
