🚨 Strict orders are reportedly being issued to radio stations and nightclub venues regarding the new music released by Tewodros Kassahun MESERET MEDIA APR 21, 2026 The new music work by artist Tewodros Kassahun (Teddy Afro), which reached the public toward the end of last week, continues to generate widespread discussion. It can be recalled that our media previously reported that more than one hundred youths were arrested in Addis Ababa alone for allegedly “listening to the music.” The following day, government authorities appeared in the media and stated that those detained were suspected of mobilizing to commit acts of terrorism. Now, new information reaching Meseret Media—from radio stations, nightclubs, some social media users, and public figures—indicates that they are receiving calls from government bodies and unidentified phone numbers instructing them not to play, use, or even express support for Teddy Afro’s music. Sources indicate that the situation first began in Adama. A manager of an entertainment venue stated: “We received phone calls warning us not to play the music in nightclubs and entertainment venues in Adama city, so we have stopped playing it.” Similarly, in Hawassa (Sidama Region), it has been reported that since last Saturday, police have been going around issuing warnings in all grocery stores and restaurants not to play Teddy Afro’s music. Several individuals who ignored the warning and played the music have reportedly been arrested. Radio stations in Addis Ababa have also reportedly received strict directives not to broadcast Teddy Afro’s music under any circumstances. According to information received, any station found violating this order could face penalties up to closure. In addition, individuals with large followings on social media report receiving calls from unknown persons instructing them to delete posts about the music, refrain from writing about it, or avoid giving any commentary. One social media participant explained: “The person who called me sounded polite. I don’t know them, but they gave it as advice. They told me that given the current situation, the issue could escalate, so I should not write about the music. They said their job is to call and warn people, and advised me to delete what I had posted.” As a result of these repeated warnings and threats, it is currently reported that no radio station is playing Teddy Afro’s music. Even the Ethiopian Press Agency, which had previously shared news about the album’s release, has removed its coverage. However, internationally, the artist’s music continues to gain significant traction. It is reportedly breaking Ethiopian online and YouTube viewership records. In particular, the album continues to rank highly on music charts in countries with large Ethiopian populations, including the United Arab Emirates, Canada, United States, South Africa, and United Kingdom. —Meseret Media—

Sudan sits on some of Africa’s largest gold reserves, with estimates suggesting the country could hold over 2,000 tonnes. But for many Sudanese, this wealth has brought little prosperity. Instead, gold mining has become a survival economy shaped by war, instability, and dangerous working conditions. Across parts of the country, thousands of miners continue to work in informal pits and remote desert sites, often with little protection or oversight. Their labor feeds a trade that continues even as the conflict devastates communities. Meanwhile, Sudan is facing one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises, with millions displaced and livelihoods collapsing as the war spreads. Sudan’s gold remains valuable. The question is whether the people risking their lives to extract it will ever benefit from that wealth. thenationalnews.com/news/mena/2026…
