That's a weird comparison.
Unlike Traore's Burkina Faso, which joined with Niger and Mali, in an anti-imperialist West African military agreement of AES, with no ideological path to meet YET,
the DERG was an explicitly Marxist Leninist state focused on cracking down on other fellow Marxist Leninists, like the states of Somalia and Eritrea and Tigrayan rebels, in a fit of ethnic sectarianism, in East Horn of Africa.
Oh no not how derg operated, but the whole military leading couping the government but doing socialist actions. There is a very informative and mostly neutral with some lib video about them.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
