Mengistu Haile Mariam led which country's communist regime?

Explanation:
Mengistu Haile Mariam led Ethiopia’s communist regime. He rose to power with the Derg, the military rulers who toppled Haile Selassie in 1974, and they established a socialist state, the People's Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, aligned with the Soviet bloc. This makes Ethiopia the country associated with Mengistu’s regime. The other options don’t fit because Mengistu did not lead those nations’ regimes— Somalia had its own Siad Barre regime, Eritrea was not an independent state at that time and was part of Ethiopia under Mengistu, and Kenya did not have a Mengistu-led communist government.
