Ako Roshi leader vs Aman Andom

After Lord Asano was forced to commit seppuku for assaulting Kira Yoshinaka, Oishi Kuranosuke (Ako Roshi leader) organized the 47 ronin to avenge their lord. He spent over a year planning the attack, feigning dissipation to avoid suspicion.

Oishi led 46 ronin in a coordinated night attack on Kira Yoshinaka's mansion in Edo. They killed Kira and his guards, then presented his head at Lord Asano's grave. The attack was meticulously planned and executed with minimal casualties.

The shogunate ordered the 47 ronin to commit seppuku for violating the law by taking revenge without official permission. Oishi and his men died honorably, becoming symbols of loyalty and bushido. Their graves at Sengaku-ji became a pilgrimage site.

Following the Derg's coup that deposed Emperor Haile Selassie, Aman Andom was appointed as the first post-imperial head of state of Ethiopia. He served as Chairman of the Provisional Military Administrative Council (Derg) for a brief period.

Aman Andom opposed the Derg's decision to execute 60 former imperial officials without trial. His refusal to authorize the executions led to a power struggle within the military council, isolating him from the radical faction led by Mengistu Haile Mariam.

After being dismissed from his position, Aman Andom barricaded himself in his home. Derg forces stormed the residence, and Andom was killed in the ensuing gunfight. His death marked the consolidation of power by the radical faction of the Derg.
