The prosecutor’s case against popular Ethiopian singer Teddy Afro is falling apart. According to EthiopianReview.com sources, the date of the alleged car accident involving Teddy and the actual date of the man who died in an accident are found to be conflicting.
According to the prosecutor, Teddy crashed his BMW in Addis Ababa killing a homeless man named Degu Yibeltal on October 23, 1999 (Eth. Cal). But the original hospital record shows that Degu had died one day earlier, on October 22, 1999 (Eth. Cal) and an autopsy was performed at Menilik Hospital on October 23, 1999.
But the prosecutor would not stop there. He forced the hospital to produce the “correct” (fabricated) document that states the accident had occurred on October 23, one day after Degu had died. A new doctor who did not perform the autopsy Degu signed on the document that agrees with the prosecutor.
On Friday, July 4, Teddy Afro’s attorney asked the court to dismiss the case in light of of this new evidence, but the Woyanne judge ordered an investigation and sent Teddy Afro back to jail. Justice Woyanne style.

In Recent Weeks there has been some focus on events in the Horn of Africa. A Border Clash between Djibouti and Eritrea appears to have stablized and intervention by France and the United States is not expected at this time. However this is not the only area where the US should be concerned about.
Also during this time period there has been ample criticism of the US Relations with [the Meles dictatorship in] Ethiopia. Ethiopian Woyanne Forces are currently in neighboring Somalia propping up a weak Western Backed Regime. There are two main issues that the Zenawi regime has to deal with. First there are persistent reports of Famine in the Country and there is an insurgency currently active in the Ogaden.
In a recent report Human Rights Watch was very critical of the close relations between the Ethiopians Woyannes and the US and British Governments. The Group feels that the support of London and Washington gives the Zenawi Regime Carte Blanche to deal with its adversaries within the country and in its neighbors.
There has been an effort within the US Congress to have both Transparency and Accountability in dealing with the Ethiopian Woyanne Government. The Ethiopian Democracy and Accountability Act of 2007 passed the US House of Representatives. It is currently dormant in the US Senate. The Legislation was first introduced in response to the Highly Controversial Elections in 2005 and their violent aftermath.
Key elements of this legislation include a suspension of US Military Assistance and other sanctions until the Zenawi Government follows specific steps outlined by the US Government. Exemptions will be allowed for Peacekeeping and Counter-Terrorism Operations. Any Government Official that is found to have used Lethal Force against peaceful demonstrators would be prevented from entering the United States.
The Ethiopian Woyanne Regime has spent over a million Dollars in attempting to defeat this legislation. It has recruited prior members of Congress such as former House Majority Leader Dick Armey of Texas to defeat this Bill. One tactic that is being used is that this Bill will be detrimental to the National Security Interests of the United States.
The announcement of the timing of the Bill being stalled in the Senate coming on the heels of the criticism of turning a blind eye towards Ethiopian Human Rights Violations will have conspiracy theorists going crazy with glee. After all, there was a concerted effort by members of the Ethiopian Diaspora in the USA to support this Bill. This could be the time when American Human Rights Defenders to contact their Senators to bring this Bill to a vote.

(UN News Service) NEW YORK — Belgian authorities today transferred Jean-Pierre Bemba Gombo, charged by the International Criminal Court (ICC) with multiple counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity, including murder and rape, to the Court’s detention centre in The Hague.
Mr. Bemba – President and Commander in Chief of the Mouvement de libération du Congo (MLC), an armed group that intervened in the 2002-2003 armed conflict in the Central African Republic (CAR) – is alleged to be criminally responsible for five counts of war crimes and three counts of crimes against humanity committed on the territory of the CAR from 25 October 2002 to 15 March 2003.
“Justice is coming for the victims, for the victims of the Central African Republic, for the victims of massive sexual violence worldwide,” ICC Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo said, welcoming the transfer of Mr. Bemba.
He thanked the Belgian authorities for their efforts relating to the arrest and transfer of Mr. Bemba. “The case of Jean-Pierre Bemba is a text book example of how cooperation should work; it is such cooperation, by all States parties, which makes this Court, 10 years after the adoption of the Rome Statute, a reality,” he said.
Mr. Bemba’s initial appearance before the Pre-Trial Chamber is scheduled for tomorrow.
