Our source also said Teddy was cheered by thousands of joyous fans while he was freed from the notorious prison. The 32-year-old singer was found guilty of manslaughter for the death of 18-year-old Degu Yibelte in a hit-and-run incident two years ago.Teddy Afro denied the charge saying he was out of the country on the night Degu Yibelte died.

Guys I welcome his realease. But remember Ethiopia is not a one man nation. We have far too many innocent prisoners in that country. (estimated 30,000). Stop chanting and let us fight for freedom.

Yegziabeher,
Why don’t you leave your religion to your self. He does believe in god but you Pentes is not enough for you because he has to believe like you otherwise, he is in the wrong path. Pathetic. When you say Yiker Yilhal, why can’t you believe that Teddy said he is innocent and you are still acting egzier yiker endilaw as if he really did it.
I know Pente’s rhetoric these days is when discussing about politics they say they don’t like politics. When it comes to Ethiopia’s question I wander what they will do, I guess they will just stand and watch believing god will do something and they don’t do anything. They are using this religion in extreme way yes, there is extremism in evangelists and pentes.

I hope he will continue to use his fame and talent to awaken the need for coming together and fight to eradicate the buthcher Meles and his gangs. His first hand testimony about their brutality and his plea for reconcilliation will help the fragmented opposition to stop their nonsense act and focus on their fight against the enemy of Ethiopia which is TPLF. We don’t need to forget about those who still are langushing their dungeon.
God bless

))))))))))))))))))))))Learn from the past(((((((((((((((((((((((
We are very glad to see Teddy is free from jail!!!We know why he was in jail for the last 41,817,600 seconds.We wish for others to see them out of jail even all the country is a jail it self.The important thing here is:does Teddy learn from this evil weyane!!!Not Azeb or Million what ever happen to him was not legal and it was illegal.
Don’t breath inside the ocean Teddy,these Gangsters are only they know
how to eat.That is why they steal from your age 484 days.
Congratulation!,
See you soon

August 13th, 2009 at 3:48 pm
We love Teddy’s songs, but he is like any other Ethiopian. Whilst we cheer up on his release we commemorate the late Degu Yibeltal as well. He was no more no less than Teddy. A piece of advice to Teddy - Please don’t get carried away and don’t be an instrument - stick to your Profession!
Congratulations Teddy!

God bless you Teddy. Some days ago I dreamt, Teddy talking to many people, I couldn’t belive it when I read an article in EMF couple of days ago he will be freed. Now he is free. It is possible that, woyanes may be scared him not to tell the truth again and to be quiet. I hope he will be as hero as he was. Looking forward for to hear what he has to say when he is really free. God bless Ethiopia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
August 14th, 2009 at 3:56 am
Please all guys, have we ever looked to ourselves. Talking is cheap. Be practical! Every thing that suppose to be done also concerned each of us, there is no job will be left for others if we want to see a better Ethiopia for our children. Let’s ask ourselves, what I ever did more than criticizing or blessing others to my country In what ever means? Is Ethiopia left to few people like Birtukan and many others who are languishing in a prison? Whom we are expecting especial service from those? I am doing something that I can, just don’t under estimate the contribution that you make. It has an effect, when it is going to in a group also more. Help one of practical parties or alert people around you not to be a tool for woyane. Do something! We shouldn’t stop cheering by Teddy’s release. In the first place our natural freedome was taken.

We are happy Teddy is free. My advice to Teddy is to get out of the contry for sometime and study in one of the prestigious universities in Europe or USA. Ethiopia needs Teddy. Teddy might lead Ethiopia to freedom and economic liberation. Whatever the future maybe, Teddy is well off to study Law or Economics or Political Science to lead Ethiopia to a better future.

ethiopia has been under sieged by weyane TPLF for the last 18 years.
if we ethiopian don’t wake up. it will contune and our people will suffer.
The looser between ethiopian-eritrea coopeartion is the tigrain people. Isayas of eritrea believe united sudan, somilia & united ethiopia, not ethnic based politics like weyane TPLF.
you only have to listen to the interview he gave to Elias of ethiopian review.
