Jacaylbaro Posted June 3, 2008 a magazine with a cover story about the imprisonment of Ethiopia pop singer Teddy Afro was seized on 2 May and its editor and three support staff were themselves jailed, a move coinciding with World Press Freedom Day, says the Ethiopian Free Press Journalists' Association (EFJA). Ten thousand copies of the monthly entertainment magazine "Enku" were impounded by police on 2 May, the day before it was due to hit the newsstands. The publisher and deputy editor of the magazine, Alemayehu Mahtemework, was put in jail, along with three support staff. CPJ says that police impounded the paper allegedly after receiving a tip from an informant at the printer that the cover story could lead to "incitement". The story focused on the trial of reggae star Teddy Afro, whose real name is Tewodros Kassahun. Kassahun was arrested and charged last month with causing the death of a young man in a hit and run accident in November 2006. Kassahun's popular song, "Jah Yasteseryal", became a popular anthem of anti-government protesters during unrest following the disputed 2005 parliamentary elections, according to local sources. Despite releasing 15 Ethiopian journalists who were jailed on trumped-up anti-state charges last year in connection with a brutal 2005 media crackdown, Ethiopian authorities have not relented in their long-standing pattern of repression of independent media through intimidation and arrests, CPJ says.

Jacaylbaro Posted June 3, 2008 HERE is the song that the current administration doesn't like. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Abtigiis Posted June 3, 2008 Yastesarial (God forgives /in Ge'ez: the archiac form of Amharic) was the toast of the nights in Addis in 2005 elections. It was a song many used to taunt the Tigres, who for no apprarent reason reacted very harshly to this song which basically was calling for forgiveness and reconcilliation. The part they didn't liked was when he said nothing got better for us (the people) from Haile Sellasie to mengistu to the current regime. When his majesty walked down From his throne to volkswagen And a new one took the helm sixty graves were dug by the revolution [Mengistu] To be filled with sixty old heads [the 60 ministers killed the same night Mengistu took power] Wearing shorts (pants) stitiched with 17 needles [17 years the TPLF fought] He who claimed to have combed for a change As he climbed the big throne Just like that of yesterday If he is punishing the predecessor He is just a NEW KING, tell me where is the change? Ja yastaserial! The information in the brackets is from me. I am not good at composing a poem, and I regret that some flavour lost in the translation. But, Tewedros is a hugely popular and wonderful singer. Go Teddy! I wish you listened to his hit: Hewan Indhawaza (the Eve's (women) are not easy).

Abtigiis Posted June 3, 2008 Ani iyo xabashi maxaa isaga kaayo dan ah. Nacalaa aabahood ku yaal. But, it is true, I grew up with them. People are amazed by my levels of Somali given that I never have been to Somalia proper except Hargeisa on vacations when schools close. Burco and Berbera (only on short visit in 2002. Let me tell you. Mid af-xabashi iiga turjun leh miyaad aragtay (Nairobi) oo nabad-sugidda Ethiopia igu leh walaalo ayaynu nahay ku dheh. " War hedde u sheeg buu kolba i yidhaa"; ana waxaan kulaha xabashiga "maad naga baxdaan buu ku leeyahay!". Guddiga nabadgalyadda Banaadir baan ku jiraa buu igu yidhi. Of course, the man was not from Banaadir. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kolkaasuu bilaabay reer hebel waa nabad-diid, dawaladnimo ma ogola. Xabashigii baa Ingiriiskii fahmi waayay oo yidhi; and then my services were required. Xabshigii markuu kacayay wuxuu lahaa, "hulaachum yaaw naa chuu (you are all the same, tuug baad tihiin). Muxuu la xanaaqay buu i waydiiyey, kolkaasaan ku idhi " cagtaan marinaynaa tuugtaa dawlada diidan buu lee yahay". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
