Tewerwari Kewakebt (The Shooting Stars) follows the lives of four characters:
Inspector Kinfe; a loving husband and father of two, Kinfe is a dedicated worker, respected officer and good friend. Alas, this seemingly perfect man has one flaw: he considers occasional cheating his right as a man. Circumstances will, however, prove him wrong and convince him that faithfulness is the higher path to follow.
Chief Sergeant Ali; a 29-year-old heartthrob who owes his luck with the ladies to his upbringing. An only child, he grew up showered with the love of his single mother and all the other women in his community. His happy-go-lucky, adventurous nature effortlessly leads him into the open arms of willing women – and trouble. We will witness his struggle to change his way of life and become a role model for positive living.
Constable Tigist: a pretty, feisty 23-year-old who, despite her mother’s pleas, joined the force. Tigist idolizes her late father, a policeman who was killed while on duty. Able, outspoken and a go-getter, it is her destiny to excel in the force. Always one of the guys, she’s convinced that she knows them well enough never to fall for their smooth talk. Unfortunately, life has other plans for her. Her story shows us how one mistake tests her courage to the limits as she battles to forge a healthy family life.
Constable Yonas; a handsome 19-year-old recruit, excels in the training field and lives by the motto, “why buy a book when one can join the library?” He’s a bit of a player when it comes to women. Over the next year, we see how life’s lessons change his attitudes to relationships in general, and STIs and condom use in particular.
Combining humor, action and gripping drama, the 52 edition comic book will enable officers within Ethiopia’s Federal Police to better understand the risks they face from HIV and develop strategies that will keep them safer.
