The #Ethiopian government is engaging in oppressive actions against individuals utilizing their artistic expression to voice the pressing issues faced by the nation. #TeddyAfro ‘s recently released song serves as a powerful call for unity among the Ethiopian people. It highlights the severe impacts of ongoing conflicts and internal displacement that have plagued Ethiopia for the past eight years.

The song's poignant lyrics, reflecting frustration and underline the betrayal and silencing of voices, depicting the nation as crumbling under deceit and turmoil. Despite these challenges, there is a resolute call to continue cherishing and raising the national flag, reflecting an undying allegiance to Ethiopia's heritage and future.

In a troubling escalation, Teddy Afro's private studio was raided by federal police during a violent nighttime intrusion. This illegal act, occurring around 9:00 PM local time, involved the severe beating of the building's security guard to gain access, bypassing legal protocols and raising serious concerns about the integrity of the country’s justice system. The intruders confiscated vital equipment, including two laptops and music production tools, posing a grave threat to Afro's unreleased intellectual property. Furthermore, his manager and a close friend have been imprisoned, with his house reportedly surrounded, aiming to instill fear and psychological distress.

The systematic suppression of free speech, exemplified by the detention of journalists and opposition figures, starkly contradicts the democratic facade the government attempts to present, especially in light of upcoming #elections. Despite these transgressions, the international community, including human rights organizations, remains largely silent on the violations orchestrated by the Ethiopian authorities, a situation that demands urgent and unwavering condemnation. @UNOSAPG @UN @UN_Spokesperson @marcorubio @StateDept @TheDemocrats @AsstSecStateAF @antonioguterres @hrcoethio @hrw @AmnestyEARO @amnestyusa @amnesty

The evidence is clear: @AbiyAhmedAli is the primary destabilizer in the Horn of Africa.

Internally, he has waged war on Ethiopians:
- Tigray: thousands are dead, famine, and war crimes.
- Amhara: Drone strikes, mass killings, extrajudicial killings, arrests, famine.
- Oromia: Insurgency, kidnapping, and ethically motivated killing of thousands of civilians.

Externally, he fights neighbors:
- Somalia: Violated sovereignty with Somaliland MoU.
- Eritrea: From ally to adversary over sea access.
- Sudan: Shattered diplomatic trust and ongoing hostility.

20+ million Ethiopians face starvation while resources fund endless conflict. A tragic humanitarian catastrophe
