Generations of partying !!

Tedla Asfaw

I read an Amharic piece in Amharic , "Hiliname Ende Kwase Siteleze" by Ato Tekalegne Nigusse posted on  www.debteraw.com and I would like to highlight a factual error on page three paragraph three line 6 and seven unintentionally the writer is promoting the billionaire Sheik Alamoudi.

I will not be surprised if this piece is posted on TPLF's  sites to demoralize the Diaspora Ethiopians by painting all of us as generations of partying. The young Ethiopians interest in partying and avoiding civic and political gatherings in D.C might be due to  TPLF's dollar mixed up with some who think of themselves as the "chosen" to lead and categorize many opponents of TPLF as enemies to be rejected at any cost if they do not accept their leadership.

The writer's  account of the number of people who attended various meetings in D.C that ended on first week of July  will surely make TPLF supporters jump up and down and the majority of anti-TPLF Ethiopians to be disappointed.

The writer should be commended for going to all the meetings and give us his perspective even if it is demoralizing for the struggle to liberate our country from TPLF and in fact millions of  Ethiopians who tuned to VOA and German radios every day has high expectations of their children far from them. Unfortunately what they heard on the VOA Amharic on the soccer week is not much different than this writer.

Teddy Afro abandoned by Ethiopians!!

Tedla Asfaw

"I did not kill any one and I have been  jailed in lice infested jail  for the last three months" , that was Teddy Afro today in front of TPLF's court drama after his attorney call for the dismissal of the case due to forged document provided by the prosecutor was rejected by cadre/judge  Lieul preparing the ground to send Teddy for long term jail at the end of this month.

Supporters of Teddy were crying and that is the least they can do. TPLF knows very well Ethiopians are not Somalis who can heat back. What a shame !! When are we going to say enough is enough and fight back ? No food OK !!, give our land OK !!, NO protest OK !!, beloved singers jailed, crying.

We have let down Teddy Afro because of fear. Let alone those in Ethiopia even the thousands who partied in D.C last week there was no anger and call for the immediate release of Teddy Afro and this is a coward generation  who has no love for truth and justice.

It is sad we the diaspora abandoned Teddy Afro and allow TPLF to get a free ride to finish its drama unchallenged. It is shame to call oneself today  an Ethiopian by abandoning Teddy who sang for Ethiopia more than any singer in TPLF's Ethiopia.

We are all useless, "Hulacnhenem Zero" quoting singer Shanbel . I pray for  God to give fellow Ethiopians a courage to stand for truth and face evil head on like the brave Somalis who are battling the TPLF mercenaries and soon will get their freedom.

TPLF's forged document !!!

Tedla Asfaw Today Friday July 4,  Teddy Afro was dragged to the TPLF made court drama in the name of justice for the innocent man who lost his life by car accident more than two years ago. The prosecutor provided a forged document and blamed the Doctors who did the autopsy on the dead man by putting wrong date on the certificate of death and Teddy's defense called for dismissal of the case, however, the judge set another date  to continue the drama. Who knows they will call those doctors to correct "their mistakes" and correct the  death certificate to match the day Teddy was alleged seen drive and then killed the man. This is justice in Ethiopia. You create a crime or organized a crime, recruit witnesses and drag those who are not kissing Meles' shoes to their court. The judge will act on stage and call for different court/drama dates for further advice from Meles' inner circles and let Ethiopians think about the coming court drama  with empty stomach. Do not worry Meles promised to flood Ethiopia with Birr 350/ 100kg of  wheat in few weeks time and not worried about anything else and we might also see a letter of apology to be signed by Teddy Afro to face save Meles' Theater Company from embarrassment in front of his bank-rollers.

Arrest the thieves in Sudan and Ethiopia !!!

Tedla Asfaw

To our brothers, sisters, fathers and mothers currently in Washington D.C. celebrating Ethiopia  during the soccer tournament of this week, I want to remind you to join us this coming Thursday, July 3rd in front of TPLF, Anti-Ethiopia Office,to denounce the huge land sale Meles Zenawi approved, about 1,600 km long approximately 50,000sqkm area of fertile land for undisclosed amount of money, to Beshir of Sudan.

The land deal has displaced thousands of our people and our brave people are fighting not to surrender this land and it is time for us to join this struggle. We can contribute money or be part of this holy struggle and sacrifice ourselves like our ancestors did in their heroic history both Beshir and Melese wanted to soil now by their secret deal.

Let us rally and support our people on the fire line from Humera in north to  Gambella in south  and let  each one of us be counted. We are not this generation of Ethiopians who seat idle while two thieves are profiting from land our ancestors kept in their blood. Let our enemies know that they have crossed the green line and they have to face the consequence. We are not hear talking about  stolen election  we  are here in hot pursuit of  two thieves, Meles and Beshir to be captured and face justice.

Here is a telephone number to call . It is 240-472-4439 and register any lead to apprehend these two  criminals. We can not rest until these thieves caught and face justice. The Ethiopian Diaspora has shown its resiliency in exposing  thieves who stole the 2005 election even if the criminals are still in their hiding palace in Addis Ababa and I am sure we can succeed this time.

Let Sudan and Meles know whatever deal they make is null and void and we are declaring war on them. We are also calling all oppositions to do their share to join the struggle and talk in language both Meles and Beshir know, armed rebellion.

Beshir the butcher of Darfur is now opening  another Darfur in Ethiopia's western front with collaboration of Meles, the butcher of Somalia and we want to remind them Ethiopians never submitted for Dervish in the past nor  will they accept Janjawid's occupation of our land in our time.

Our rally in D.C is going to send shiver in the thieves' camp and our people will be emboldened to continue their struggle to reclaim their land and let us make July 3, 2008 a day to be remembered in our struggle for bringing all Ethiopians and different political groups for a noble cause of reclaiming their land that was sold under the table for big money.
