Is The Ethiopian Pop Star, Teddy Afro, In Jail For The Right Reasons?!!

Teddy Afro is so freakin' gorgeous! He is one of the best Ethiopian singers ever & I absolutely love the song in the video called Alamin!Even though I can't understand one word of it!When Beyonce performed in Addis, a whole lot of folks felt that Teddy Afro upstaged her. He is an immensely popular Ethiopian star!

Unfortunately,Teddy Afro got sentenced to 6 years for a crime that many believe he has no part in. But because of his involvement in politics, many fear that the Ethiopian government may have set him up.Here's more from BBC:

"The singer was found guilty of running the man down in his car and driving away without reporting the incident in Addis Ababa in 2006.

Ethiopia's best-known pop star was also convicted of driving without a licence.

His music became an anthem for opposition protests in 2005 and many fans believe the charges were politically motivated.

But the Ethiopian authorities have denied this. As he passed sentence, the judge said the prosecution was not in any way a vendetta.

There had been some confusion about which night the homeless man had died. On the first date the singer - whose real name is Tewodros Kassahun - had an alibi: He was out of the country."(END OF EXCERPT) Read the rest here:
