EPRDF could have kept Teddy under a house arrest, if need be. Teddy is a known Ethiopian and was not a risk for the govt. of fleeing. Imagine if it was Sheik Alamoudi! I bet
the EPRDF would handle the Sheik differentlly, probably with money thrown there and here. I have no desire to implicate anything, but the EPRDF’s propaganda that even the poor is equal under the law is just propaganda! If not, why is that no one has been brought to court with the killings of 197 people yet. I agree EPRDF is a comical government when delivering justice, but its hipocricy is paramount.

It is quite easy to know it by a common sense that Tedy has nothing to do with the poor killed man by car accident.. it has been clear.. and will remain clear..

Is it the characterstic of such a person to let a poor citizen bleed to death and not offer help??????? I don’t think so!!!!! How could Tedy cry for the entire nation????
If Tedy was guilty of such a crime couldn’t he hide some where in the west and seek perminent residence somwhere??????Woyane simply is frustrated by Tedy’s patriotic songs and was looking for excuses to revange period.Guys please do not waist your time even woyane himself will not deny this.Do you all remember that Tedy was schedualed to sing at alamude’s sheraton to celebrate woyanes hliday but refused to be sansured and cancelled the woyanes programe and spent his time with the local people glorifying Ethipia and promoting love and unity among people?????Well woyanes qosht was burned by this decision and is now revanging.

When will Meles, Azeb, Seyoum Mesfin, Mebrahtu Gebrihiwet (Bereket Simon), and other weyane thugs face justice for killing 153,000 innocent soldiers during the Ethio-Eritrea war, the 4000+ annuaks, the 193 in bright day light infront of their beloved ones, and the daily killing in Somalia. If weyanes court of law has any credentials bring all of the above mentioned individuals to court of law and then the Ethiopian people will believe them that at times their justice system is fair; until then all they practice is lip-service and their prime goal is to appease the paedophiles of the west!

ህግ በሀገራችን ቢከበር ኑሮ፤ ልክ ጸሐፊው በትክክል እንዳስቀመጡት ሁሉም፡ የአባም ገዳይ፡ ነፍስ የበላውም የኢሀደግ አባል፡ ሌሎች ገዳዮችና ነፍሰ በላዎች ሁሉ ዋጋቸውን ያገኙ ነበር። ህግ ግን በኢትዮጵያ ያለም።
የሆኖ ሆኖ ቴዲ አጥፍቶ ከሆነ መቀጣት የለበትም አልተባለም። ጸሐፊው እንዳሉትም ማንም ሰው ከህግ በላይ የሚሆንባትን ኢትዮጵያ አንፈልግም እና!
በቴዲ ላይ የተደረገው የግፍ ግፍ ነው። ቴዲን የመሰለ ተወዳጅና ታዋቂ ሰው ላይ የዚህ አይነት የፈጠራ ክስ ማምጣት ወያኔዎች ከቻሉ ብደሀና የኔ ቢጤዎች ለይማ እያደረጉ ያሉትን ማሰብ ዘግናኝ ነው የሚሆን።
ቴዲ ከታሰረ በሁዋላ የደረሰበት እንግልት የሚያሳየው፤ ጸሐፊው በትክክል እንዳሳዩጥ፡ የወያኔን ቂመኛ ባሕርይ ነው።
ደግሞ፡ ይህ ወያኔ ብል ይብላውና፡ ኮንስታብል ተብሎ ፖሊስ አባልን መጥራጥ ከወዴት ፈረንጅ የተቀበሉት ነው። ብር አግኝተውበት ይሆናል። የኛ ሀገር፡ ተራ ወታደር፡ አስር አለቃ፡ ስያሜዎች ምን አጠፋና ነው?
