Ato Abebe Belew of Addis Dimts radio told Ethiopian Review that there are currently (8:15 PM EST) thousands of Ethiopians enjoying the concert, which will go on until 10 PM.

The free concert was planned for last night, but Woyanne agents and sympathizers had reserved the place in advance. Thinking that last night’s concert was given by pro-Ethiopia artists, thousands of Ethiopians went to the Washington Monument. But they were shocked to find out that the Woyanne ambassador Samuel Assefa was invited as a guest of honor. When HodAder Samuel tried to give a speech, the crowed showered him with insults: “leba!” “leba!” The Woyanne presence spoiled the mood of most of the people in the crowd. So they left in disguest. Fortunately, they have the chance to enjoy the real event tonight patriotic artists such as Abebe Belew.

    Elias, you are doing great and thank you.Weyanes eat your heart out,the real Ethiopian new year celebration was on the 12th of September. Weyanes, you think you are smart by using text message and let the people out.

    Congratulations and happy new year Ethiopians. Ethiopians, in the future we need to be careful with the smell and looks of Woyanne there is a big ugly blue star on the flag. If you see it stay as far as possible.
