Ītyoṗya, Ītyoṗya, Ītyoṗya, qidämī (Amharic: ኢትዮጵያ ኢትዮጵያ ኢትዮጵያ ቅደሚ, "Ethiopia, Ethiopia, Ethiopia be first") was the national anthem of Ethiopia from 1975 to 1992, during the Derg military junta of Mengistu Haile Mariam. The anthem was first performed on Revolution Day on 12 September 1975.[1][a] When the junta was reorganized in 1987 as the People's Democratic Republic of Ethiopia, the song was retained until 1992.[2] The lyrics were written by poet Assefa Gebre-Mariam Tesema, and the music was composed by musician Daniel Yohannes Haggos.[3][4][5]
