  • Teddy Afro is one of the ebst Ethiopian artist and a real Great man. he did a lot to creat love, unity , harmony , respect amoung Ethiopian people. He is Great man. I konw that if he did a bad thing, he will be himself pay for that. So, I do not think it is the right wat to keep him in prison …just beacuse ,with his Peaceful acionting, singin love and fraternity, saying people to open their eyes, to be open-minded, not to hate ecah other becuase of the dievristy of etniciy, religion and “samm thing”- but to be together united to hle us- and our country. Ethiopia, unit yourself to help get out form jail your child: teddy Afree Free. Just let him “help us agin with his good words, hlps and suggestions: we need him back on stage. We love Teddy Afro (our Tewodros Kasshun)

    I have read some of the comments before me. but i didn’t understand how some people find him guilty even before the so called jury (w/h is a puppet on a string)finds him guilty first
    I don’t know whether he is a killer like some of you said or he is an innocent person who is in prison for the crime he didn’t commit.
    Never the less i don’t believe our government has an intention to free him out of prison, so we have to try our best to force the government to be free from all the political nonsense and give the right verdict.

    First I am saying TEDDY IS FREE. I can say this word more than Millions. Because Teddy is free. Teddy is Famous singer but he is not Cruel, he is not Killer. Oh . . . . My God, I can’t give explanation for Teddy . . . Our Hero Every day, every time and every place we are praying to Teddy. He is Our HERO.

    I know that TEDDY is one of the best artist in our country but if he did it ,who do u think will pay for it? Eventhough Teddy is best singer , i know he is a man(citizn).Our law says ‘Every citizn have equal right befor the law’,so Teddy is a citizn he should be in prison for what he did.After all for who you saying weyane ,please read more about weyane befor saying unwanted things.We are supposed to make our country paradise.Dont be emmossional.

    it was so shameful to read what martha and gebremariam said. i don’t expect such kind of trush comment from ethiopians..shame on you. Teddy is God’s gift to Ethiopia and the only reason that he is in jail is because of his musics. The government does not like the messages of this music and used the “car accident” as a pretext to punish teddy. Marth..i think you yourself need to go to jail and try jail’s life..we need teddy..jail is a place for the illegals not for innocents like teddy. I pray that God will be with Teddy and i know he will be with him.
    Teddy is the best singer ever and he is innocent and no one can be imprisoned because of what he thinks…he is a prisoner of conscience.

  • HAIMUNAJAA

    Oh . . . . Marta I hate you . . . . You have a tin brain ok. You know the meaning of Kid? Teddy is not KID. Please . . . think before write the comment. Teddy is not politician, Teddy is not kid. You don’t know about Teddy? TEDDY IS MUSICIAN.
    TEDDY IS OUR HEROOOOOO . . . . . . . . LONG LIVE TO TEDDY!
