EMF(21 July ‘08) The TPLF kangaroo court ruled today the famous Ethiopian artist, Teddy afro to defend the charge, despite clear signs of false evidences presented to it. Teddy was told to appear on 4th October 2008 to defend himself. Teddy Afro was accused of being involved in a fatal car accident. All evidences provided to the court by prosecutors have been proved to be false and forged. Despite that, however, the judge had to read a usual politically prescribed decision. “God is great! እግዚአብሔር ታላቅ ነው!” Teddy Afro told judge Leul on today’s court drama. Many believe that the charge against the artist is politically motivated. It is a vendetta for his critical songs against the regime. Read more in Amharic from EthiopiaZare.

ወያኔ ወደደም ጠላም; ይቆይ እንጂ ቴዲ መፈታቱ አይቀሬ ነው:: ይህ ሁኔታ የሚያስተምረን Miki ከፍ ብሎ እንዳለው የሰላም ወይም ህጋዊ ትግል ዋጋ የሌለው; ወይ ፈጽሞ የማይቻል መሆኑን ሳይሆን; ወያኔ ግፈኛ መሆኑን ነው::
ቴዲ የታሰረው በሰላም የፖለቲካ ትግል አደርጋለሁ ብሎ አይደለም:: ቴዲ ዘፋኝ ነው እንጂ ሌላ አይደለም; አልነበረምም::
የታሰረው ግፈኛና ቂመኛ መንግስት በሀገራችን በመኖሩ ብቻ ነው::
Miki በፈለግኸውና በመረጥኸው መንገድ ታገል! ካንተ ጋር ነን::
ቴዲንና ፕሮፌሰሩን ለቀቅ:
ወያኔ ላይ ጠበቅ!

Watch and Learn from teddy!! Do Not Drink and Drive, and Nobody is above the Law in Ethiopia anymore!!!

Teddy’s situation is a symptom of the widespread injustice perpetrated and being perpetrated against millions of Ethiopians by Meles and his Tigre thugs or better yet since occupation of Ethiopia by Woyane/Tigre.
The hundreds of thousands of Oromos, Sidamas, Agnuaks and Somalis among others who are currently in Woyane dungeons maybe cited as to the immeasurable brutality of Meles and his Tigrean thugs.
As has been said, time and again, Woyanes are Enemies of Ethiopia and have to be dealt with as such - a complete and total annihiliation through peoples’ uprising. If we are united, it is a matter of weeks if not days to kick out the enemy and punish the criminals!!!

To Gen shoaregede gedele,
It is not reasonable to generalize on a region. Meanwhile, you can not say the people are backward. Who are you to say the whole people of the region backward. Are you Canadian or American? If you think you are an Ethiopian wherever you were born and grown up, you can not undermine any Ethiopian. The country as a whole is poor ad no one is any better than the other to make such a claim.
Cheers,
Kebede.

INJUSTICE! The Judge has the Ball but He is too Fast…WATCH !!!!!!!
Dr,Ladisperto does not rewrite #61843 victim record correctly?
what is that? Cuba and Ethiopia use the same number’s. third witness
is not appear but his word is accepted. A Taxi driver first call not reveal.
the police officer able to read the plate number while the car runs 60K/hr
from fifty meters far. the incident happen 7:20 pm the defendant was arrested in his house. BMW car found in road side staked far from the place where the incident happened. the car condition or any dented or scratch or blood or if the window was broken didn’t mention. it is weird that specially in this hospital within 24/hr the doctor perform his duty!
why the judge is not interested in cross examing against the doctor?
drink and drive! how they perform the Evaluation. Please Solve here?????

Shoareged And you are a general too? What is wrong with you guy? Your hate of the Tegre has nothing to do with the Teddy case. Teddy IS innocent. It is a politically motivated justice system, not racial.
