Fake prosecutor Tewodros Beharu is no exception.

He willingly and passionately played a key role in

sending Eskinder Nega, Andualem Aragie, Reeyot

Lelisa, the Muslim leaders and so many political

prisoners to the hellish TPLF jails. This unjust man

is now living in Silver Spring, Maryland. While his

2014 World Cup: Africa's hopes in Brazil At the 2014 FIFA World Cup,

from 12 June to 13 July, Africa's teams hope

to produce better results than at the 2010

tournament in South Africa. Ghana, Algeria,

Cte d'Ivoire, Nigeria and Cameroon represent

the continent this year, but which of them will

make it past the rst round?

African teams bring life to an event

that, in recent times, has appeared to be losing

some of its gloss. Who can forget the youthful

exuberance of the 38-year-old Roger Milla in

1990 celebrating each goal by dancing at the

corner ag and wriggling his waist with a

Can any of the African representatives

in Brazil reignite such passions again? Ghana,

Nigeria, Cte d'Ivoire, Cameroon and Algeria

the same countries that represented Africa

in the 2010 World Cup are again the ag

bearers against the best teams in the world. This

emphasises the dominance of the Western and

North African teams, which has continued for

the past three decades.

Four years ago, only Ghana's Black Stars made

it beyond the rst round, reaching the quarter-

nal, and the going is expected to be even

tougher in Brazil. Their prospects of success

depend on rigorous preparation and avoiding

the internal wrangles over allowances and

maladministration that often undermine teams

at major tournaments.

Hey Look - RASSELAS IS BACK!

Rasselas is an Ethiopian-

born music artist who is emerging

out of Canada. He currently resides

in Toronto where he recently releasedhis new album Injera Music now in

stores and iTunes. His style is mainly

composed of Hip-Hop music mixed

with traditional Ethiopian music. He

performs in English and Amharic, and

soon will make his French performing

debut. He merges his linguistic abilities

to create a fresh vibe within Hip-Hop

music. He has good knowledge of

the international marketplace, and is

quite at home in the recording studio

producing, composing beats, and

rapping original lyrics.

Time and again Rasselas has

Here is a short bio. of Rasselas

By Samuel Getachew

For Ethiopians in Toronto and

beyond, Rasselas is as well-known as

any popular gure. He has performed

in many leading Ethiopian festivals

including the annual Ethiopian New

Years celebrations in Septemberon Christie, been a xture at theinfamous now closed Cottage night

club and been a role model for many.

Then, in 2010, he decided to leave the

music scene.

In an interview with TZTA four years

ago, he reected with me how he

was constructing a new album due

for commercial release early 2010

and that during the recording of

the project, I went through several

changes in my continuous search for

Truth, the meaning of "Life" and true

happiness.

That true happiness included becoming

a father to beautiful children. This

past weekend, in a Facebook posting

marking Fathers day, celebrated his

role as the ultimate blessing. That is

a beautiful role to have and no wonderhe has managed to produce a beautiful

album Injera Music -, now available

on iTunes, of diverse music that was

recently celebrated at a downtown

bash few weeks back.

His is an album of collaboration

with great artists such as Bezuyehu

Demissie and Ermias Assebwork.From paying tribute to farmers, to

celebrating cultural diversity and

simply using rap to preach, the albumis something else. Venturing in a new

territory that is most unknown to the

ear of an Ethiopian audience that is

too traditional, Rasselas condently

delivers his signature.

His sound is a self-described

odyssey of a mainly composed Hip-

Hop music mixed with traditional

Ethiopian music. For instance, his

song, Abesha Party, is a beautiful

number with a mixture of youthful

energy. In Ride, he celebrates popular

Ethiopian hangouts, including the

beautiful popular Ethiopian RandezVous restaurant and Cottage night

club where he found his footing a

decade ago.

Sure, some of the songs like Doro

Wot, are Weird Al" Yankovic silly.

His lyrics for this song seems like

they were written at the back of a used

napkin. However, almost all of the

songs on the album are enjoyable. It is

still an album that is worth having. It

celebrates diversity, persistence in an

array of musical arrangements, style

and languages.

O yes, Rasselas has also become more

entertaining, funny, engaging on stage

as I discovered at his Hard Rock event

in downtown Toronto. Do yourself a

favour and youtube his videos. They

are beautiful to watch and better

produced than most Ethiopian music

videos.

I am glad he is back. I look forward to

his performance this summer

(www.RasselasMusic.com)

proven that any show he appears on

is guaranteed to rock. His presence

and charisma capture audiences and

ignite immediate desires to purchasehis albums. He is indeed the best-kept

secret fans are fortunate to discover.

On stage he is transformed, energized,

focused and very interactive with his

audience. Catch him live when he

breezes through your city. His message

will capture your heart and provoke

your imagination.

Rasselas will be performing in

Toronto on Afrofest 2014 on Sunday

June 6th at 5PM.

6 peak of his powers, he seeks to bring the same

level of achievement to an Ivorian team that has

attered to deceive for the best part of a decade.

Pundits believe that this Ivorian team does not

have the quality of players who were expected

to dominate African football in the mid-2000s.

With Didier Drogba now past his best form and

Kolo Tour in the nal stages of his career, their

replacements are hardly of the same stature. In

the past, gross indiscipline and clashes of egos

undid all the hard work the team put in once they

got to the tournament. There is also the matter

of their inexperienced coach Sabri Lamouchi,

who is still to convince that he is capable of

managing a team at the highest levels of thegame. One plus in their favour is a group that

is regarded to be the weakest, with Colombia,

Greece and Japan as rst-round opponents.

Prediction 2014

Quarter-nal, if the players are in the right frame

of mind and they get a favourable draw.

Previous form 2010

rst round; 2006 rst round.

Ghana

Andr Ayew has courted controversy since he

made the Ghanaian team at the 2008 Africa

Cup of Nations as a 17-year-old. Some fans

questioned whether he had done enough to

earn his place or if he was being included for

sentimental value as the son of Ghana's greatest

player, Abedi Pele. Ayew won over his critics

through his swashbuckling displays for the

Black Stars, running himself into the ground

in every match. In 2009, he captained Ghana'syouth team to success at the U-20 World Cup.

In 2013, Andr and his younger brother Jordan

announced their retirement from the national

team after a disagreement with coach Kwesi

Appiah. They returned ve months later,

after the intervention of Ghana's President

John Dramani Mahama. The team has made a

seamless transition from one era to another with

stalwarts like John Mensah, Anthony Annan and

John Paintsil giving way to a new generation

that includes the Ayew brothers, Abdul Majeed

Waris, Jonathan Mensah, Dominic Adiyiah and

Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu. In a group that

includes Germany, Portugal and the United

States, Ghana will need to be at their very best

to progress beyond the rst round, after reaching

the second round and quarter- nals in previous

tournaments. If they can surmount the rst

hurdle, anything is possible.

Prediction 2014

First round exit.

Previous form

2010 quarter- nal; 2006 second round.

Cameroon

Even in the face of the proverbial ticking clock,

Samuel Eto'o, at 33, remains Cameroon's most

important player. With Chelsea, in the English

Premier League this season, he has shown that

he retains the ability to nd the back of the net on

the big stage. Cameroon's fortunes in Brazil are

inevitably intertwined with his own. He will be

making a fourth appearance at the FIFA World

Cup, having rst made his debut in Francein 1998 as a 17-year-old. His appearances

in 2002 and 2010 also saw Cameroon fail to

progress beyond the rst round. Eto'o prominent

status in international football allows him

to exert a disproportionate inuence on the

Cameroonian team, which has led to clashes with

coaches, players and the football association.

This turbulence has led to pronouncements of

his retirement from the national team, with him

only then to return after discussions with the

football authorities. This World Cup is likely

to be Eto'o's nal chance to help Cameroon try

to emulate the 1990 team that became the rst

African side to reach the quarter-nals of the

World Cup. It looks unlikely, given the paucity

of quality players on the team and the opposition

they face from Brazil, Mexico and Croatia.

Prediction 2014

First round exit, with Brazil favourites andCroatia or Mexico to take second place.

Previous form

2010 rst round; 2002 rst round.

Algeria

When Soane Feghouli chose to play for Algeria

over France, it was to be a reversal of the trend

that had seen the likes of Zinedine Zidane

represent Les Bleus at the highest level. The

talented Feghouli made his debut for Algeria

in 2011 and has not looked back. He played a

pivotal role in Algeria's qualication in the 2014

World Cup. If the Algerian side are to have any

impact in Brazil, much depends on the form he

shows at the tournament. His time in the Spanish

league with Valencia has allowed him to polish

the skills he showed as his career evolved in

France. After years in the doldrums following a

protracted war against Islamic fundamentalists

in the country in the 1990s, Algeria returned

to the World Cup in South Africa in 2010, 24

years after their last appearance. They gave a

solid, if unspectacular, performance. They held

England to a goalless draw and for large parts

of the match outplayed their more experienced

foe. This time around they go to the World Cup

a more rened team. In a group with Belgium,

Russia and South Korea, they face opposition

that will be difcult to beat. They will have to

raise their level a notch to eke out a place in the

second round.

Prediction 2014

First-round exit. Russia and Belgium favoured

to go through.Previous form

2010 rst round.

Nigeria

When Nigeria surprised African football by

winning the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations, they

owed much to the nishing power of striker

Emmanuel Emenike. He was one of the players

elevated to the starting line-up by the then newly

appointed coach Stephen Keshi. After years of

disappointing performances by the national team,

Keshi opted for a wholesale change, excluding

many of the established players who had failed

to deliver. Though Emenike may lack the polish

of past heroes like Jay-Jay Okocha or Nwankwo

Kanu, he epitomises the new generation of

players with his never-say-die attitude and effort.

The Nigerian team under Keshi has taken the

country back to the World Cup. They have done

so without much glamour, preferring instead torely on endeavour and discipline, two attributes

that were previously missing. The players may

not be at the biggest clubs in Europe or be the

most recognised names in the game today, but

the team's spirit and will to win more than makes

up for their lower proles. In a group made up of

Argentina, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Iran, they

have the potential to target second place, behind

favourites Argentina, to get to the second round.

Prediction 2014

Second round with Argentina.

Previous form

2010 rst round.

By the time TVO's Steve Paikin declared

the government of Kathleen Wynne re-

elected at 10:43 p.m., the MPP from Don

Valley West had made history as the rst

elected woman Premier of Ontario. Soon

after, he would declare hers as a majority

government.

In the words of former Progressive

Conservative MPP Peter Shurman,

the reason Kathleen Wynne won was

precisely because she was and still is

the "best salesperson" of the decade old,

scandal-ridden Liberal brand in Ontario.

In the election, she faced a Tea Party-

like candidate in Tim Hudak and a non-

principled and surprisingly populist voice

in Andrea Horwath.

Both of these candidates underestimated

the electorate as they moved their

respective parties to the far right. The

NDP was even criticized by its core

supporters in the middle of the election

for venturing into unknown territory

in a publicly released letter by NDP

heavyweights such as Michele Landsberg

and Winnie Ng.

"In this election, we are seriously

considering not voting NDP," and "from

what we can see you are running to the

right of the Liberals in an attempt to win

Conservative votes. It is not clear whether

you have given up on progressive voters

or you are taking them for granted," the

letter read.

The party activists responded by calling

the authors of the letter as "old NDP" --

mirroring the second class language of

one-time American Secretary of Defense

Donald Rumsfeld who once called

Germany and France "old Europe" for not

blindly supporting the Iraq war.

This gave ammunition for local Liberal

candidates to attack the NDP on the

ground and gave way for the defeat of

MPPs such as Davenport MPP Johan

Schein, the uninspiring Beaches East

York's Michael Prue and the antique

Trinity Spadina's Rosario Marchese.

Once you take the progressive signature

Premier Kathleen WynneUnderstood The Electorate Better

of the NDP, is there any reason to support

them anymore?

Tim Hudak embraced a set of ideals that

seemed far to the right and full of bad

mathematics. He missed the opportunity

to take the party to where successful

Progressive Conservative Premier's suchas Bill Davis, John Robarts and Leslie

Frost did. He attempted to embrace the

former Premier Mike Harris Common

Sense Revolution era of two decades ago

instead of his own. He failed just the way

Ernie Eves did in 2003.

Ontario lives in the political radical middle

and is more moderate -- in principle, ideas

and people -- than assumed. Kathleen

Wynne understood that more than either

the PCs under Hudak or the ONDP under

Horwath.

Just look at the results. For the rst time

ever, the Liberals have more diversityin their caucus including a record three

black MPPs elected at the same time

in Michael Coteau, Mitzie Hunter and

Granville Anderson. This was no accident

as diversity has been a big mojo for this

Premier.

In celebration of her victory, she remarked

how, as a woman and a lesbian, if "I can

become Premier, anybody can become

one." She was obviously reecting the

talent and future leadership candidacy

of MPPs such as Michael Coteau of Don

Valley East and Yaser Naqvi of Ottawa

Center.

Wynne also made a comeback kid out of

former Prime Minister Paul Martin, who

tasted a humbling electoral defeat almost

a decade ago in Ottawa. Not only did he

endorse and had a role in the campaign

but he also became her top adviser in

the Liberal's signature campaign idea

-- the new Ontario Pension Plan. His

once defeated, neglected and ridiculed

senior advisers -- Richard Mahoney, Tim

Murphy and David Herle -- even managed

the winning campaign against former

Chretien Lieutenants such as Warren

Kinsella, who have in recent months been

strangely working and endorsing a slew

of NDP candidates from Olivia Chow, Joe

Cressy to Johan Schein.

The 25th Premier of Ontario deserves

our congratulations. That is whether one

supported her or not.

Harper Government announces funding forRouge National Urban Park in the Greater

Toronto Area TORONTO, Ontario, -- The

Honourable Peter Kent, Canadas Environment

Minister and Minister responsible for Parks

Canada, and the Honourable Jim Flaherty,

Minister of Finance and Minister responsible

for the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), today

announced funding from Canadas Economic

Action Plan 2012 towards the establishmentof Rouge National Urban Park and presented

the proposed Study Area for the park, during

a meeting held today with Aboriginal and

community partners, and a broad range of

stakeholders.

The Harper Government is

committed to protecting and presenting

Canadas natural beauty and to create Canadas

rst national urban park in the Rouge Valley of

the GTA, said Minister Flaherty. Today, we are

excited to follow through on that commitment

by providing over $140 million over the next

10 years and over $7.5 million ongoing to bring

to fruition the dream of a peoples park in the

GTA. This national urban park will become

a place of national signicance and will be

enjoyed for generations.

Our Government is proud of theoutstanding collaboration with so many

provincial, municipal, Aboriginal, youth and

community partners as we move forward in

creating this unique protected area in the heart

of the GTA, said Minister Kent. We are also

pleased to share the proposed Study Area for

Rouge National Urban Park, which fullls the

original vision for a contiguous network of

lands reaching from Lake Ontario in the south

all the way north to the Oak Ridges Moraine.

The Government of Canada alsoannounced the creation of a Transition Advisory

Committee to support Parks Canadas decision-

making on the establishment process and

interim management of the park. Appointments

to the Transition Advisory Committee will be

made in the coming weeks by Minister Kent

and will ensure the diversity of interests in

Rouge National Urban Park are represented.

This is a chance of a lifetime to be

part of something innovative that will leave

a lasting legacy; to work together towards

building something very special, said Minister

Kent. With this federal funding, we can now

ofcially move forward with the establishment

process and, as such, I am pleased to launch

the public involvement phase beginning this

summer. I encourage all Canadians, especially

those located in the GTA, to get involved, toprovide their input and to be a part of making

history here in our great nation.

The City of Toronto's City Planning division

has launched a new initiative called Growing

Conversations. This initiative seeks to improve

the relationship between the City of Toronto

and its residents and stakeholders through a

better community engagement process.

Growing Conversations will be launchedofcially on Tuesday, June 24 from 6:30 to

9 p.m. at the Northern District Library, 40

Orchard View Blvd. (in the Yonge Street/

Eglinton Avenue area). All members of the

public are welcome to attend this drop-in event.

"Engaging our residents in conversations

about city building builds a stronger city," said

Councillor Peter Milczyn (Ward 5 Etobicoke

Lakeshore), Chair of the Planning and Growth

Management Committee. "We've seen some

really successful examples of that happening

here in Toronto, and certainly there are lessons

to be learned from elsewhere. What Growing

Conversations will do is help us to apply those

best practices to all of our engagement efforts,

which will ultimately lead to better planning

outcomes."

"The vision of Growing Conversations

is to make Toronto the most engaged city in

North America," said Chief Planner Jennifer

Keesmaat. "My hope is that improving the

quality of our conversations will result in

planning outcomes that better reect the vision

and values of residents and the communities in

which they live."

The launch event on June 24 will be

the public's ofcial introduction to the Growing

Conversations process, offering attendees

an opportunity to become acquainted with

its objectives, timeline and features. A short

Toronto's City Planning division workingto improve public engagement in the

planning processinformation session will be held at 7 p.m. and

again at 8 p.m. A series of interactive display

panels will help staff collect input on a variety

of questions.

There are ve key objectives for Growing

Conversations:

Provide a better understanding of the strengthsand weaknesses of the current community

planning process in Toronto.

Explore new engagement models and tools,

particularly those that are intended to help

build capacity, inform participation, and build

stronger relationships between the community,

stakeholders and the City of Toronto.

Explore opportunities and best practices

related to implementing community planning

advisory groups in Toronto.

Explore opportunities to broaden participation

by engaging new audiences, including youth,

newcomers and low-income residents.

Identify other opportunities to improve

the quality of feedback received through the

community planning process.

Growing Conversations will include

four key elements: a youth engagement strategy

targeting youth ages 18 to 30; an ethnic media

strategy targeting the top ve fastest-growing

language groups in the city; a key stakeholders

partnership strategy to build stronger

relationships between City Planning and key

stakeholders who will help to broaden the City's

engagement reach; and an open data framework

to establish clear guidelines for the release of

City Planning's data.

Those four elements will together

lead to a new engagement action plan, which is

expected to be completed a year f rom now.

(WAN-IFRA) This Golden Pen is more

important than food, medicine and water. It

materializes the support and shows that he

is not forgotten. That he is one of us. That

an attack on one journalist is an attack on

us all and that jailing a journalist is a crime

against humanity, Swedish journalist Martin

Schibbye says, accepting the 2014 Golden Pen

of Freedom, the annual press freedom prize

of the World Association of Newspapers and

News Publishers (WAN-IFRA), on behalf of

imprisoned Ethiopian publisher, journalist and

blogger Eskinder Nega.

The honour is formally bestowed on Nega

in a ceremony at the 66th World Newspaper

Congress, under way in the Italian city of

Torino this week, where more than 1,000 mediaindustry representatives have gathered.

Nega is serving an 18-year jail sentence in Addis

Ababas notorious Kaliti prison, convicted on

trumped-up terrorism charges after daring to

wonder in print whether the Arab Spring could

reach Ethiopia, and for criticising the very

anti-terrorism legislation under which he was

charged. Arrested in 2011, he was sentenced on

23 January 2012 and denounced as belonging to

a terrorist organisation.

Imprisoned at least seven times in the past decade

for committing fearless acts of journalism,

Nega is a celebrated intellectual and a relentless

ghter for freedom of expression. Eskinder

Nega has become an emblem of Ethiopias

recent struggle for democracy, World Editors

Forum President Eric Bjerager says, delivering

the Golden Pen during the opening ceremony

of the World Newspaper Congress and the

World Editors Forum in Torino. No stranger to

prison, he is also an unforgettable warning to

every working Ethiopian journalist and editor

that the quest to create a just, free society comes

with a heavy price, Bjerager says.The honour

is formally bestowed on Nega in a ceremony at

the 66th World Newspaper Congress

Negas former prisonmate, Swedish journalist

Martin Schibbye, accepts the award on the

jailed journalists behalf, at the invitation of

Negas family. He paints a dark picture of life

inside Kaliti Prison. The rooms are more

like barns with concrete oors, and it is so

crowded that you have to sleep on your side,

he says. Prisoners are packed likes slaves on aslaveship. Once a month an inmate leaves with

his feet rst.

But disease and torture are not the hardest part

of life inside Kaliti, according to Schibbye.

It (is) the fear of speaking. Its not the guard

towers with machine guns that keep the prison

population calm. It is the geography of fear.

People who speak politics are taken away. They

disappear. Schibbye is a freelance journalist

who was jailed for 14 months in Kaliti Prison,

along with his photographer Johan Persson.

They were pardoned and released in September

2012.

In (Kaliti), fearless people like Eskinder Nega

helped the whole prison population to keep their

dignity. By still writing. Protesting. Not givingup. He helped us all maintain our humanity. But

there is one thing I know that even Eskinder

fears. That is to be forgotten, Schibbye says.

When youre locked up as a prisoner of

conscience, this is the greatest fear, and the

support from the outside is what keeps you

going. This Golden Pen Award will not set him

free tomorrow, but it will ease his day today.

He will go with his head high knowing that

he is there for a good cause. That the pain and

suffering has a meaning.

WEF President Erik Bjerager tells the ceremony

that the world needs to watch the creeping threat

of anti-terrorism legislation being used to target

journalists. Ethiopia continues to resort to anti-

terrorism legislation to silence opposition and

By Abebe Gellaw

Under the brutal rule of the TPLF, courts are key

instruments of repression. This is not an allegation.

It is rather a well-documented and substantiated

fact widely known across the world. One of the

worst crimes the TPLF has committed in the last

two decades is using fake laws, Kangaroo courts,

unjustly ruthless prosecutors and judges

to silence and torment anyone opposed to its

criminal tyranny. tewodros beharu.jpg

Prosecutors and lawyers in the league of

Shimelis Kemal have committed heinous crimes

under the guise of nonexistent due process.

Among other things, Shimelis is the author of

the so-called anti-terrorism proclamation and the

charities and societies law. Tewodros Beharu,

who was recruited as a student OPDO operativeat college, is one of those who were willingly

followed the bloody footsteps of TPLFs hacks

like Shimelis.

Journalists, activists and political dissidents that

have survived torture chambers, killing sprees and

all sorts of inhumane treatment are mostly forced

to go through the Kangaroo court system even

if the whole process is a sham designed to give

repression a semblance of justice. The system

deliberately dispenses injustice by imposing the

will of the TPLF under the guise of justice.

The fake and unjust lawyers like Tewodros

Beharu, Berhanu Wondimagegn, Zeresenay

Misganaw and Berihun Teklebirhan were given

tasks to persecute journalists and activists using

the anti-terrorism law. In the service of their TPLF

paymasters, the hack lawyers have fabricated

countless treason and terrorism charges against

shackle the press. Alarmingly, beyond Ethiopia,

countless states around the world are misusing

anti-terrorism legislation to muzzle journalists,

bloggers and freedom of expression advocates,

Bjerager says. Research suggests that over half

of the more than 200 journalists in jail last year

were being held on anti-state charges. Let me

be clear: Journalism is not terrorism. Politicians

should not abuse the notion of national security

to protect the government, powerful interests or

particular ideologies, or to prevent the exposure

of wrongdoing or incompetence.

Schibbye concludes his acceptance speech,

reading from a moving letter penned by Nega to

his eight-year-old son. It was smuggled out of

Kaliti prison: The pain is almost physical. But

in this plight of our family is embedded hopeof a long suffering people. There is no greater

honour. We must bear any pain, travel any

distance, climb any mountain, cross any ocean

to complete this journey to freedom. Anything

less is impoverishment of our soul. God bless

you, my son. You will always be in my prayers.

Schibbye tells a tearful audience: When I

read these words by Eskinder I know that they

will never break him. Because he is in peace

with himself. He knows that even though he

is chained, robbed of his physical freedom,

the freedom to talk or to be silent, the freedom

to drink or eat, and even to shit. He knows, as

do all prisoners of conscience, that you have it

in you to keep the most valuable, the freedom

that nobody can take from you, the freedom to

determine who you want to be. Eskinder is ajournalist. And every day he wakes up in the

Kaliti prison is just another day at the ofce.

Nine more journalists were jailed in the past

month in Ethiopia, as the election campaign

started. The crackdown was a ashing alarm

to the world that no one is safe. That there is a

hunting season for journalists in Addis Abeba.

But despite this difcult situation there is light,

Schibbye says.

Eskinder Negas courage has turned out to be

contagious; a new generation is stepping up. A

generation of young cheetahs have been taking

enormous risks writing, tweeting and speaking

truth to power, demanding the jailed to be

released. It is hopeful. It shows that they can

jail journalists but they can newer succeed in

jailing journalism. Words led Eskinder Nega to

the Kaliti prison. And in the end it must also

be words that set him free, Schibbye tells a

clearly emotional audience.

When I see this Golden Pen of his, I look back,

and think of Eskinder who is left behind in the

chaos, on the concrete oor, between walls of

corrugated steel I feel sick to the stomach. But

then I remember his smile and his strength and

I think that at the end of the day, its not us that

are ghting for his freedom but rather he who

is ghting for ours. Ayzoh Eskinder! Ayzoh!

(translation: be strong, chin up).

Note: The Golden Pen of Freedom is an annual

award made by WAN-IFRA to recognise the

outstanding action, in writing or deed, of an

individual, a group or an institution in the causeof press freedom. Established in 1961, the

Golden Pen of Freedom is presented annually

and is amongst the most prestigious awards of

its kind throughout the world. Behind the names

of the laureates lie stories of extraordinary

personal courage and self-sacrice, stories of

jail, beatings, bombings, censorship, exile and

murder. One of the objectives of the Golden

Pen is to turn the spotlight of public attention

on repressive governments and journalists who

ght them. Often, the laureate is still engaged

in the struggle for freedom of expression and

the Pen has, on several occasions, secured the

release of a publisher or journalist from jail

or afforded him or her a degree of protection

against further persecution.

Tewodros Beharu: Ethiopiasprosecutor from hell in America

innocent people whose only crime was exposing

and challenging the corruption and tyranny of the

TPLF.

Fake prosecutor Tewodros Beharu is no

exception. He willingly and passionately played

a key role in sending Eskinder Nega, Andualem

Aragie, Reeyot Alemu, Nathnael Mekonnen,

Bekele Gerba, Olbana Lelisa, the Muslim leaders

and so many political prisoners to the hellishTPLF jails. This unjust man is now living in

Silver Spring, Maryland. While his victims are

suffering in harsh jails, he appears to go to bed

without any remorse and regrets.

After shattering the dreams of so many patriots

condemned to suffer nightmares just for the

love of their people and country, he is pursuing

happiness and the American dream. It appears

that the former TPLF tormentor and persecutor

has sought asylum under false pretence that he

was persecuted and tortured. To make matters

worse, he rejected numerous requests to explain

about the way he and his partners in crime were

able to convict innocent people with serious

terrorism offences and crimes they have never

committed. He even tried to blame it all on

Shimelis Kemal despite the key roles he played

in the whole drama.

Whatever the justication, Tewdoros knows the

fact that political prisoners deemed to be threats

to the TPLF are always guilty, even before they

are pronounced guilty as charged by opportunistic

Kangaroo court judges and prosecutors like

himself hired to do the dirty job. He is also aware

of the fact that the terrorists he convicted faced

concocted and ctitious charges without the need

to present any shred of evidence. They have been

denied a fair trial and the basic right to challenge

false accusations to prove their innocence.

The worst and most outrageous legal drama

unfolded in the aftermath of the 2005 elections.

The landslide election victory the opposition

had pulled off triggered Meles Zenawis panic

attacks. Over 193 civilians including minors were

mowed down by the brutal Agazi brigade and the

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Let us see what Democracy is; it is

the natural right of people. But the Ethiopian

Government says Democracy is a process, by

imprisoning people, journalists, and others

from political Parties. As a result, many

opposition party members are imprisonedand people are disturbed by the regime.

Different international

organizations reported about Ethiopia, for

example, CPJ/ committee of protecting

journalists on December 2013 report

Having heard of the accusation on one of

Africa legendary and historical emperor,

Menlik, left me saddened. I have not

found any written or vivid evidence on the

accusation of this legend on race extinct. Or

is it another of the Ethiopian current rulingparty's dirty political game of disintegration

of the Ethiopian people unity?

As many dictators use various methods to

stay on power, TPLF, (Ethiopian government)

apply the method of divide and rule to prolong

its dictatorial life. In Ethiopia there are more

than 81 ethnic groups with their own language.

In order to dominate these 81 ethnic groups,

the Ethiopian government is dividing these

Freedom freedom for Ethiopian,

sir! An exiled Ethiopian journalist, Abebe

Gelaw, cried out loud while the president

of the United State of America was giving a

speech at a Democratic National Committee

Fundraising on May 2014 in San Jose. The

Ethiopian current ruling party has jailed,

tortured, oppressed and brutally punished

journalists, bloggers, opposition party leadersand members. It was not only the cry of this

particular journalist rather it is the voice of

the Ethiopian people.

The 22 years domination of one

ruling party from one ethnic group drives the

Ethiopian into the verge of ethnic conict

and extreme poverty. Those who raise their

concern regarding the danger of this cruel

Nine years ago on June 9,

2005 Ethiopian well trained, armed and

experienced snipers shot over 120 protesters

on a broad day light in Addis Ababa. Just

25 years ago the Chinese soldiers opened

re and killed more than 200 students who

protested against the communist regime on

Tiananmen Square.The students revolution and movement in

Addis Ababa in 2001 was solved by military

responses. After the 2005 nationwide election

dispute, the people of Ethiopia went out to

the street for peaceful demonstration. They

were welcomed by snipers showering their

Acupuncture originates from China and has

been practiced there for thousands of years.

Although there are records of acupuncture being

used hundreds of years ago in Europe, it was

during the second half of the twentieth century

it began to spread rapidly in Western Europe,

the United States and Canada. Acupuncture

involves the insertion of very thin needles

through the patient's skin at specic points on

the body - the needles are inserted to variousdepths. We are not sure how acupuncture works

scientically. However, we do know that it does

have some therapeutic benets, including pain

relief and alleviation from nausea caused by

chemotherapy.

According to traditional Chinese medical

theory, acupuncture points are located on

meridians through which gi vital energy

runs. There is no histological, anatomical

or scientic proof that these meridians or

acupuncture points exist. Acupuncture remains

controversial among Western medical doctors

and scientists. Creating case studies that use

proper scientic controls is difcult because of

the invasive nature of acupuncture - a clinical

study involves a placebo (sham product)

compared to the targeted treatment. It is very

Tiananmen Square in EthiopiaBy Zerihun Shumete Tessema(Germany) bullets. Over 120 people were shot on the

head in Addis Ababa only at that particular

protest.

As peaceful demonstration,

freedom of speech, democracy and multiparty

system are taboo subjects in China, so are

they in Ethiopia. Total control and censorship

of media is what the Chinese government

known for in the whole wide world. Thesame is true in Ethiopia. Journalists and

bloggers are still hunted and thrown into jails

by the Ethiopian current regime. Opposition

Communist China. Anyone who dares to

regime are being tortured, jailed, murdered

or migrated. This brave activist and journalist

dared to interrupt the presidents speech

because the world must know the crime done

on poor civilians by Ethiopian dictatorial

government.

President Obama! Freedom

for Ethiopia! Abebe Gelaw screamed.

It was like a thunder outof nowhere. In the hall where only President

Obama was controlling the stage and air ,

this freedom seeker activist burst loud as

if it was his only and last chance to reect

the cry oppression, and burden of the 90

million Ethiopian people. Hold on I agree

with you, although why do not I talk about

it later because I'm just about to nish? the

ethnic groups and planting hatred, vengeance

and tension among each of the ethnic groups.

By doing so, it can assure the long life of its

regime. This false, fabricated and evidently

unsupported accusation of the emperor is

designed to bring hatred and conict betweenthe Amhara and Oromo ethnic group. This

cruel and racist Ethiopian government never

wants to see these two ethnic groups live in

harmony and peace. So it is driving not only

these two ethnics, but also others into ethnic

conict and tension.

It is therefore the responsibility of Ethiopians

who live abroad to bring this cruel act of

the current ruling party to light. The world

Ethiopian government will be

awarded a life time imprisonment, brutal

punishment, eeing the county to lead an

exile life or even death sentence in the name

of terrorism.

In general, 40 years ago, the people

of Ethiopia were immersed in poverty. They

are still in an extreme poverty. Although the

Chinese are still in an oppressive Communistrule, they have grown into the second largest

economy in the world in the past 40 years.

Therefore the Ethiopian Government has

modeled only the anti democratic rule but

not the rapid economy growth of the Chinese

government. Isnt that a pity?

president of USA replied.

Interrupting Ethiopians authorities

and forwarding one's view and ideas is

close to unthinkable. You kind of screwed

up my ending, but that's okay, we have got

free speech in this country, which is great

too. President Obama gently replied to the

audience in the hall.

Had it been in Ethiopia, this speechwould have been quite the opposite. Had it

been in Ethiopia, this journalist would have

been condemned and sentenced in act of

terrorism.

We have tyranny in Ethiopia, we

love you! said the journalist Abebe at the

end to President Obama.

should be informed on the potential human

genocide that may happen in the near future.

The international community should be

aware of this danger. And it is on the shoulder

of Ethiopians who live in a better freedom

than those in Ethiopia with no freedomof expression to raise this issue and let the

international community know about it. If

the international community does nothing

to stop this dangerous act of the Ethiopian

government, then the world may witness

one of the most dreadful human genocide in

history. If there is any right time to stop this

from happening, then it would be now.

Ethiopian government deceive Americans and Europeans.By Melese Sebsibe ,Germany.

Ethiopia is the second ranked country from

the world by imprisoning and disturbing

journalists. International human rights

society reported on March 2014 one hundred

pages in Germany and different international

organization also reported...So the Ethiopian government

is kidding Americans and Europeans by

implementing democratic constitution and

deceiving them. So they must take an action

to establish and protect the Rights of people

by making real actions. We need justice.

When the people oppose the government, the

government says the people are Terrorist. So

in Ethiopia, you cannot ask your right because

you must go in the way of the leading party or

to be member. So the government is cracking

down human rights abuse in Ethiopia through

Anti-Terrorism proclamations and charities

and societies proclamations.

What Is Acupuncture? What Are The Benets Of Acupuncture?hard to devise a sham acupuncture control that

one can compare to proper acupuncture. While

some studies have concluded that acupuncture

offers similar benets to a patient as a placebo,

others have indicated that there are some real

benets. This article in a peer-reviewed British

Medical Journal explains that the principles of

acupuncture are rmly grounded in science,

and you don't need Chinese philosophy either to

make it work, or to practice it.

According to WHO (World Health

Organization) acupuncture is effective for

treating 28 conditions, while evidence indicates

it may have an effective therapeutic value for

many more. People with tension headaches

and/or migraines may nd acupuncture to be

very effective in alleviating their symptoms,

according to a study carried out at the Technical

University of Munich, Germany. Another study

at The University of Texas M. D. Anderson

Cancer Center found that twice weekly

acupuncture treatments relieve debilitating

symptoms of xerostomia - severe dry mouth -

among patients treated with radiation for head

and neck cancer.

federal police. Then opposition party leaders,

journalists and civil society leaders were detained

and charged with genocide, outrage against the

constitution and treason, charges authored by

Shimelis Kemal and his handlers.

Former publisher and journalist Serkalem Fasil

and her son Nafkot Eskinder, who was born in

jail in the wake of the 2005 election turmoils,

were forced to ee Ethiopia almost a year ago.

Her husband , the ery award-winning journalist

Eskinder Nega, was convicted of trumped-up

terrorism offenses. He was condemned to 18years in jail. The chief prosecutor in this and

other high prole anti-terrorism charges to inict

maximum harm and pain was none other than

Tewodros Beharu.

Following Eskinders terrorism conviction,

their two houses and a car were conscated.

Adding insult to injury, TPLF was very eager to

make sure that not only Eskinder but his family

suffer the injustice. After losing everything they

have, it was a hard and heartbreaking decision

for Serkalem to leave her husband behind. But

upon his insistence, she had no choice but to go

into exile, at least to protect their child from the

unjustly tormenting and painful experience.

A couple of weeks later, Tewodros Beharu,

along with his wife Meron Girma, left Ethiopia

dreaming a better life in the United States.Unlike the majority of Ethiopian exiles that ee

persecution, torture, killings and discrimination,

the former public prosecutor left behind the

shattered dreams of so many political prisoners

and their families.

Tewodros was one of TPLFs prosecutors, or

rather persecutors, trained and employed to

fabricate terrorism charges against political

prisoners like Eskinder Nega, Andualem Aragie,

Nathaniel Mekonnen, Reeyot Alemu, Wubishet

Taye, Bekeke Gerba, Olbana Lelisa, the Muslim

community leaders and the two Swedish

journalists Johan Persson and Martin Schibbye.

Tewdos also convicted exiled terrorists such

as Obang Metho, Neamin Zeleke, Dr. Berhanu

Nega, Ephrem Madebo, Fasil Yenealem, Mesn

Negash, Abiy Teklemariam and myself.

In a reversal of fortune, Tewodros Beharu has

ended up among the terrorists he falsely accused

and convicted. This beggars the question how

the persecuted and the persecutors can coexisted

in the land of freedom where the rule of law is

supreme. When victims and tormentors face off,

the dreamer in the pursuit of happiness may be

too sad to face truth, justice and reality.

As Malcolm X once said, Im for truth, no matter

who tells it. Im for justice, no matter who its for

or against. Not only Tewodros but all the false

accusers and judges in Ethiopia should realize

the fact that those of us they convicted with all

sorts of crimes and terrorism are not criminals

and terrorists but law-abiding citizens that dare to

speak truth to power.

Tormenting and attacking innocent peoplewith false accusations and fake laws is nothing

but terrorism. Those who falsely accuse and

prosecute others are conscious criminals. They

cannot invoke ignorance or arrogance as a

defense.

Let the truth speak for itself. The truth never lies. It is

always powerful and irrefutable.
