I have some sense of the star attractions and powers of pop stars.But the one wielded by a certain Tewodros is an epitome of a Nation that has lost its juices and one on the brink of coming apart.No wonder some wily visiting foriegners say Addis is the whorebelt of the Horn.I mean an army of scantly dressed girls and guys with multiple piercings blocked traffick around our 'Old Bailey' , the Lideta district.The reason? the vocalist is a prime suspect in a death involving a street kid around 4 kilo.Their demand?Let the law take a holiday, it is Teddy we are talkng about here.Let him go, they chanted!The blood curling incident was, they tried to tune in some kind of gospel song for the occassion.Good old blind folded Justice sees that kid's blood as red as Ted's.Some one has to answer for that blood spilled, a child's blood. And our people break in to a chorus for the release of the suspect not for doing justice to the dead kid.May be it is as Napoleon said God is with the strongest regiment, I don't know.The thing is people around here have a twisted sense of good and evil.
