Nine famous Ethiopian artists from Tigray who had significant roles in the struggle against the military regime died in a car accident on Monday.
Also after the fall of the dictatorial regime, the artists have had active roles in mobilizing the public towards development.

Feel sad for the ppl, my condolences to their families.
I am also suprised to see the Tigray news as headlines in the Eritrean site. Aren’t u guys supposed to focus on other stuff. Shabiya supporters are accusing u as Agame and don’t u think this ll add to it.
And from my perspective I hate Ethiopia more than Shabiya, and don’t want to hear any of their fucking stories.
let’s concentrate on the elements of change for our country.
Regards,
Samuel

To the family of the victims,
May they rest in peace and this shall become a turning point in your lives when you truly learn the meaning of “love never dies”. They have not died into the grave, but “he who has gone, so we but cherish his memory, abides with us, more potent, nay, more present than the living man” Antoine de Saint-Exupery I am sorry for your loss.

Qozami,
It is great to see your otherwise soft and kind side. I hope ‘abdi’ learns from you. What he just posted is too insensitive, callous and morbid to say the least. Elias Kifle may have issues with Weyanes but to make jokes about deceased people is too gross and disgusting. It is not Eritrean at all.

(RIP)The terror suspect in the death of TPLF singers caught
Federal Police Joint Anti-Terror Task Force in Ethiopia has caught the suspect that is responsible for causing the death of 9 ruling party musicians.
The suspect, a 2-year-old bird named Alula, has been positively identified by the driver of the bus that crashed on its way to South Sudan carrying over 25 members of the TPLF musical group.
The driver, fighting back tears, told investigators that the bird barged into the bus and savagely attacked him causing him to lose control. The bird was assisted by an ox, the driver said. The ox is yet to be apprehended.
The suspect, Alula, has been brought to Maikelawi Jail in Addis Ababa today for interrogation. Initial investigation indicates that Alula has received extensive terror training in Eritrea, according to TPLF regime spokesperson Bereket Simon.
Reporter has the following report in Amharic:

abdi,
That is too insensitive to make jokes of deceased people. I am sure, you’ve never lost anybody in your family. When you do, you will understand what it feels like to lose somebody you love. The deceased people have fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, sons and daughters. How would you feel like if your daughter or son is not going to be able to see you, hear your voice, feel your love? What would your daughter or son feel if someone was to make jokes about you after you’ve died?

sorry,you need to address your critics to ethiopreview,not me¡¡
