One of Ethiopia’s most popular singers, Manalemosh Dibo, passed away today from natural causes, according to news sources in Ethiopia.
Manalemosh died in South Africa where she went to receive medical treatment after suffering from intestinal cancer for over a year.
Before going to South Africa Manalemosh was receiving treatment at Tikur Anbessa (Black Lion) Hospital in Addis Ababa. When her condition deteriorated, Tikur Anbessa doctors recommended that she gets treatment abroad. Ethiopian billionaire Al Amoudi covered her expenses to travel to South Africa.
Manalemosh was a young singer who’s popularity grew with each song she released. She is particularly well-known for her traditional songs such as Asabelew, Awdamet, and Minjar.
Below is a video of one of her most popular and Ethiopian Review’s favorite songs:

Cancer, a white man’s disease, has penetrated our country, Ethiopia, and has claimed the precious life of our beautiful, young sister, Manalemosh Dibo, one of the best Ethiopian traditional singers at an early age.
Ethiopian doctors at Tikur Anbesa (Black Lion Hospital), unable to treat her life-threatening disease finally sent her to another African country as if South African doctors were better than the Ethiopian doctors in treating “mekersa” (cancer).
She should have been sent immediately to America where many cancer patients have been treated, and many of them have survived. Unfortunately, the government of Ethiopia has failed her to cover her expenses to get a well-advanced cancer treatment from the Western doctors; it is indeed a great tragedy for Ethiopia to have lost such a gifted singer, a precious national treasure, a pride, and a memorable icon for the present and the future generation.
Understanding the value of such a great singer, Al Amoudi has covered her expenses but the Ethiopian government has failed to do its part, knowing, perhaps, she is from Oromia, not from Tigray.
Ethiopia is blessed to have so many talented young men and women from all its ethnic’s groups but cursed that she has produced ruthless leaders such as Mengistu Haile Mariam and Meles Seitanawi (Zenawi). I’m sure, Meles or his wife Azeb (Jezebel) Mesfin has never visited her while she was in a hospital.
To the complete negligence of the Woyanne government, to the unequal distribution of wealth to the Ethiopian people, and to the expelling of the best and the brightest Ethiopian doctors from their country they love to serve, our beloved sister, Ms. Manalemosh Dibo, passed away in a foreign country and in the hands of foreign doctors and nurses, perhaps, unaccompanied by her family because of the heavy expenses for a hotel or motel to stay in South Africa.
May the Almighty God bless her soul in heaven and comfort her family and her friends in Ethiopia and abroad!
Thank you, Elias, for posting one of her best songs, and I was in tears when I heard her sing “Minjar.” She left us only her memories, but we will never see her face again, her movement and her future new song.

I am very saddened by what happened. She was one of may favorite cultural singers.
I wish, non sense as always is, Assta have gone in her place. For one thing South Africa is in no comparison with Ethiopia by any standard. It is a nuclear power and a center of quality medicine at low cost. Do you know SA is the home of Jonathan Lewis (oncologist) who was associated with the development of several successful and innovative cancer drugs both in the US and throughout the world. It is a country where you can find best Doctors at reasonable prices.
Secondly, bringing someone in the US or Germany does not guarantee s/he will get the best Doctors and treatment. Thirdly, treatment success of cancer depends on the stage at which you diagnosed the cancer. If she dies just one year after it is discovered may mean the diagnosis was very late might be at stage three or four (terminal stage-untreatable). Many rich and respected people have died including Senator Kennedy and many will be dying of Cancer any where in the world.
Finally, no matter how much we hate Woyane, it has nothing with her death. Come on, the opposition does not think as cheap as you do.

Did she have really intestinal cancer? If that was the case she would have got referral a year ago. My guess is Dibo had a bleeding ulcer and started surgical treatment in Black lion Hospital. It the surgical complication that prompted a referral at the last minute. If indeed it was an intestinal cancer, the diagnosis is often made at late stage with no cure no matter where she is.

Very sad news, I am shocked and deeply saddened by her death. She was my all time favorite traditional singer. My heart goes out to her family and friends.
Yes, many people die from cancer allover the world, but millions of Ethiopians simply die from lack of basic medical care and medicine. Cancer is not the only killer in Ethiopia, besides being killed by woyanes bullets, they die of preventable diseases like malaria, famine and diabetes.

To all my friends and foes:
Anonymous (#11),
I’m not hundred percent sure she was from Oromia, and that is why I said, “perhaps.”
Ras (#13),
Who brought chemical fertilizer to Ethiopia? The white man brought it; some of the Ethiopian farmers started using it, and as a result of this cancerous white man’s product, many Ethiopians are now dying of cancer.
Do you remember what the Italians brought to Ethiopia while they were occupying the country for five years? They brought prostitution, “bojelie” and “kiting” (syphilis). Ask some Ethiopian historians, and they would tell you what other damaging illnesses they brought to Ethiopia.
Shegaw (#14),
You wrote: “…the government money belong [s] to the people” of Ethiopia. Remember, Manalemosh Dibo was one of the people of Ethiopia, and at that, the brightest one, and I argue the government of Ethiopia should have taken care of her since she had entertained millions of Ethiopians. She was one of the national monuments of Ethiopia: we know the Woyanne government takes care of some of those Ethiopian historical sites; in this case, wasn’t she one of those historical places, even better than some of those old historical areas. She should have been given a special treatment by the government of Ethiopia, because she was the delight of the Ethiopian people, and I am sure the Ethiopian tax payers should have never complained if some of their tax money had been spent to save the life of this unique creature of God – Manalemosh Dibo.
I suggest whenever an Ethiopian artist is affected by a debilitating disease such as cancer; the government give the cancer patient a helping hand.
Minaw (#17)
I pity you for you have no clue at all what kind of civilization was there during the Stone Age; neither do you have any idea that people of the Stone Age developed basic skills during their time. You have no any logical thinking how archeologists divide the Stone Age into three broad periods: The Old Stone Age, or Paleolithic, the Middle Stone Age, or Mesolithic, and the New Stone Age, Neolithic.
During the Stone Age, people found that seeds placed in the earth would grow into plants that would furnish both food and many more seeds. Especially their greatest invention was agriculture – one of the greatest discoveries of all time. They also discovered wheat and barley. They tamed the wild dogs that most of the people now use as their best friends; they also domesticated sheep, goats, pigs, and cattle; they learned spinning, weaving, and making blankets, and your people in Ethiopia are still doing it, thanks to the people of the Stone Age. Also, it was the people of the Stone Age who invented religion, living together, working together as a team and defending their own territories.
I am certain your narrow brain cannot comprehend what had been achieved during the Stone Age.
By the way, to which period do you belong, to the Stone Age, to the Bronze Age, to the Dark Age? I’m hundred percent sure you don’t belong to the Modern Age because you have invented or done nothing tangible. To me, you simply belong to the dystopic realm of the after life where the departed souls of the dead – those who passed away without believing in Jesus Christ – reside.
Owho (#25),
In your thinking South Africa is a nuclear power country; therefore she has the best doctors, the best nurses, and she is the center of the best medicine. If your assertion were true, your master, Meles Seitanawi (Zenawi) could have gone there for his medical treatment instead of going to Europe. If the government of Ethiopia has taken care of this young singer at the early stages of her cancer and sent her to America, she might have survived, but the careless government of yours didn’t help her at all because she does not belong to his tribes. Meles Seitanawi knows precisely that in Ethiopia there is only one doctor for every 40,000 people, one nurse for every 8,000 people, only one program to deal with cancer, one cobalt machine to serve 80 million Ethiopians.
Dr. Bogale Solomon at Tikur Anbesa Hospital has said once: ‘Public awareness of cancer is very low and the diagnosis of cancer is considered a death sentence. The waiting time, particularly for radio therapy is 6 months. As a result, some patients die while waiting for treatment.’ That is what had happened to our sister Manalemosh, waiting for a long time to get the best medicine, the best doctor, and finally ended her life in one of the developing countries instead of coming to America or England.
The Life’s Second Chance Foundation urges us this way: “Please come forward and join our vision of bringing modern day treatment, common in the USA, to patients in Ethiopia while instilling dignity, comfort and hope.” It didn’t say “bring modern day treatment, common in South Africa,” to Ethiopia. As far as Meles Seitanawi is in power, people in Ethiopia will never die in dignity, comfort, and hope in their own country.
Knowing that Ethiopia has shortages of doctors, nurses, modern equipments, and medicine, Meles Seitanawi should have sent our cancer patient sister to America, and the American doctors may have saved her life. Senator Kennedy’s brain cancer cannot be compared with Manalemosh Dibo’s, perhaps, curable disease.
You wrote when you have nothing important to write: “I wish non sense as always is, Assta have gone in her place.” Your desperate statement tells me that my previous comments on various subjects, especially on Islam and about your master, Meles Seitanawi, have pierced your heart and broken your bones. For your information, sooner or later, I will follow her if my departure from this troublesome world gives you some kind of satisfaction. You expressed a death wish for me because you know very well I am one of the worst enemies of Meles Seitanawi, your lord and god. Believe it or not, I am going to live on this earth, perhaps, 150 years “For nothing is impossible with God,” (Luke 1:37) and every thing is possible for him.
May our departed sister get eternal comfort in heaven!

She was one of the best singers of traditional Amharic music.
Her song Wollo is the best video of Amharic traditional song I came across. That song is a masterful presentation of the tapestry of multinational and multireligious Ethiopia. To top it all the song is infused with abundant love, joy, and fun. It easily beats a thousand political articles written by our pundits.
What a loss. It is a shame that she was not helped in time. RIP, dear Manalemosh.

You must be an insider Woyane who is trying to demean the opposition by posting his insidious but as one pointed out stone-age smart mind generated opinion.

When cancer kills the host, it kills it self!
From my perspective, while we don’t know what we aught to know about her death, certainly, we know one thing for sure: We have lost her.
I am saddened because she died at a very young age in which she hasn’t seen the best of herself yet.
I am saddened because we were not there to help when she needed us the most.
I am saddened because we are out of touch and cry wolf.
On the other hand, I am proud because there are few among us who steps up to the plate in helping her at the last minute of her breath. Thanks!
Now, what was her intent/wish to the living family of hers? And what can we do to that end? How do we get in-touch with beloved and aging artist of our beloved country?

I was saddened upon coming into work, turning on her video to hear her music when I seen her in the hospital bed, and even more shocked when I heard she passed away. Tew Belut, is my all time favorite song. The rhythms enchants me, and her voice soothes my spirit. I will forever miss you Manelmosh. We’ll meet on the road to Zion.

this comment is for Assta B. Gettu, what an idiotic illiterate comment you just made? a white man’s disease??? wow go learn a little bit about cancer before you make such racist stupid insinuations. You define the very main reason why we ethiopians never advance. You are stuck in this little hole that you’re so strong and no disease can touch you; spend your time reading a little and maybe then you can wake up and try to reach a state of mind filled with something positive!

It is unblievable story to hear that my delighted and everlasting favorite singer Manelomish has passed away. your songs are not separable from my daily diet; they are my strength when I am so lonely, when I miss home land, my tradition (Awdeamet), and everything else. Above all who on earth can have the ANGELIC VOICE God has blessed with? You are irriplacable Mane.
May Your soul rest in peace!
and condolence to her families and fans!

I am very sad about the iconic singer,Manalmosh. God bless her soul.
For those you comment about her death cause,please let’s put aside to the expertises. Let’s note that everybody can get death ‘visa’ anytime and anyhwere and the bottom line would be let’s be ready for better or for worse.

Nous avons appris avec tristesse la mort du chanteurethiopien Manalmosh Dibo ce une femme qui a fait la fierté de toute l’Afrique , les circontances de son decés est l’amentable encore pour l’Afrique et l4ethiopie Je pense cette femme merite un traitement speciale car elle a sortie le nom de l’ethiopie dans le monde et que le gouvernement doit lui etre reconnaissant . Ce triste que l’Etat n’a pas pris soins d’elle.Je pense que l’Etat doit faire quelque chose en sa memoire .

This futile world is meaningless for us, it is better to think for the coming new world. God is our hope not the help of the current gov’t or others.It is a hearttouching the death of Manelemosh however, she is in a good place let us thik for ourselves. Death is an indispensible.

Manalemush ! I love you sweet heart. First I learned about her sickness on Jan 31/2010 at night. I had a bad feeling that she may not servuve. qu’z in the interview she looked tired. And so on that very night, I prayed for her to get well soon only to find out the following morning feb 1 when I searched google I saw it in the article that she had passed away. In the middle of my loneliness and being bored now I had to deal with this tragedy. I just lost my beloved preciouse girl. Well. I will have to deal with this loss for a while. I cann’t go to bed and get up from bed without thinking about her.

Hello to my Ethiopian brothers and sisters
I’m a Cameroonian and I was just watching some of Manalemosh’s video on you tube when I read in comments “rest in peace”… I was shocked! I’m still shocked… As I said I’m a Cameroonian and I discovered ethiopian music in 2006 and i was her. I just fell in love with ethiopian rhythm, moves and dance because she did sing and dance so well!
And I let many other people here to know and discover about Ethiopian Amharic music and beautiful dance. They were mesmerized and so happy and I was proud because i just kept saying to myself: wow Africans do have beautiful, magic and enchanting rhythms and gracious dances! I still think that and I just want to say to you brothers and sisters that I share your lost and pain. Because she was truly a great singer and dancer. What she did was pure beauty.
What else to say? except these sad and somehow helpless words : may your soul rest in perfect peace Mana. One day, you’ll dance and sing again, but you’ll do it along with angels.
Africa is beautiful, Africa is magic song. Africa is pure and true rhythm from which everything came to life.
A fan from Cameroon who didn’t know about Ethiopian music some 4 yrs ago…
Love Mana

Im very young and just started listening to her music for only a couple of years and noticed right away how smart, beautiful, loyal, lovable she was and still today to she is and always be an angel. Wish I have could have helped, when she cried for help I cried for her. Much and many more blessings to the family, the people that were blessed to work with her,and the people she touched without even having to meet her!! I love you and always keep you in spirit!!!

God bless your soul! I heard about Manalbosh Dibo that she passed away very late and about the story of the Tamirat Geleta, I think he is the killer of this talente young woman.if I am not wrong Tamirat Geleta make her to get devorce from her husband and he took their money and make her his “wife” Tamrat is a devil worshiper, a froud, and a killer. and this shuold be a lesson for every body. i felt very sorry about Manalbosh, but may be she felt shame for what she did, and chose not to tell. May God bless your soul and forgive you, and put you in heaven. to other people do not go to Tenqui, awaki, agul emnet amlaki. if you have oroblem go to church and pray to God. ther is only one God! God bless your soul! Tesfay

Quelle perte!
Elle avais une dimension au delà des frontières de son Ethiopie natale!
En parcourant les domiciles des camerounais de la partie septemtrionale, que sa musique retentie!
A mon passage à Addis Abbeba en Septmbre 2011, la prémière chose que j’ai demandé: le CD de MANALEMOSH DIBO!
Je viens de me rendre compte de la disparition de cette icone de la musique éthiopiène adulée même dans les pays lointains de l’Ethiopie, telle le Cameroun!!!
Tu resteras dans nos coeurs pour toujours au délà de l’Ethiopie…
Que Dieu te Bénisse et te garde dans l’haut delà!
