Al Jazeera has no moral authority to lecture Ethiopia about democracy, elections, or governance while remaining largely silent about the lack of democratic accountability in Qatar and other Gulf monarchies. It is deeply hypocritical to scrutinize Ethiopia’s political system while avoiding the same level of examination of the governments closest to the network’s ownership and influence.
Time and again, Al Jazeera appears eager to amplify political disputes, protests, and controversies in countries it targets, yet shows far less enthusiasm for addressing restrictions on political participation, freedom of expression, and electoral competition in its own backyard. Many viewers see this as a clear double standard rather than impartial journalism.
If Al Jazeera genuinely believes in democratic principles, it should be prepared to apply the same standards everywhere—including Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Until then, its criticism of Ethiopia will continue to be viewed by many as selective, biased, and politically motivated rather than objective reporting.
Ethiopia’s future should be determined by Ethiopians, not by foreign media organizations seeking to shape narratives from Qatar. The Ethiopian people are fully capable of debating their own political challenges without lectures from outlets that are unwilling to hold their own governments to the same standards they demand of others.
Any available scripture points toward truth. Even historical accounts about coffee reflect this: coffee is believed to have originated in the ancient highlands of Ethiopia around the 9th century. According to a well-known legend, an Ethiopian goat herder named Kaldi noticed his goats becoming unusually energetic after eating red berries from a certain plant, leading to the discovery of coffee’s stimulating effects
Dear Mr. Tibor, I don’t know how much we, Ethiopian love you for standing with the truth when it comes to Ethiopia. But on this one, I am not sure how much you know that this singer is a snake 🐍 n the grass.
Teddy Afro is not the authentic artist many people take him to be, but rather a calculated individual who uses his image strategically for personal gain. He capitalizes on emotionally sensitive moments, attracting audiences with appealing music while delivering insincere messages.
If he genuinely loved Ethiopia, he would have addressed important national topics such as African pride, the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, the construction of the Adwa Victory Memorial Museum, and environmental efforts like the Green Legacy initiative. We remember his silence during a critical time of national conflict involving the TPLF, when many Ethiopians were actively engaged or speaking out.
The authenticity of his widespread support and the idea that millions of Ethiopians genuinely stand behind his music is fake news. Additionally, we African particularly Ethiopian know that BBC is a biased and corrupted organization that promotes Western interests and narratives in Africa. You know that too Mr. Tibor.

One second, Trump is the “Peace President.” The next, he’s dragged us into war.
And his address tonight? It doesn’t matter. His words are meaningless—he says what’s convenient, then does the opposite.
This is how you burn trust, risk lives, and lead our country into chaos.
