Dear readers,
EthiopianReview.com’s server had crashed on Tuesday morning causing the site to be down for the past three days. We have been working feverishly to fix the problem. We lost 4 days of data, and we are yet to restore the Forum and other sections of the web site. For now the front page is partially up and Top Stories section is also functioning now. All the other sections will be restored shortly.
On behalf of my colleagues at Ethiopian Review, I would like to thank those of you who sent us emails expressing your concerns and best wishes.
Regards,
Elias Kifle

Thank God you are back Elias. What was the problem? Just because it happened right after the Eritreans and Ethiopians demonestrations I thought, is this some kind of subotage on his web site? But it is not and you are back sound and strong. Welcome back and we are still with you.

I was so happy when you disappeared from cyber. It would have been a serious disaster for Eritrian if your website remained broken forever. Alas! you came back with your poisenous tongue. My prayer is always for greater upset for Eriterians and danm diaspora and ofcourse for your disappearance!
Ethiopia would be better of if your websit remained broken!

I was worried the Weyane long arm got to Elias. I am glad the Weyane spying agency (AMORAW) did not get to you, Elias. The benefit of living in the West is that the Weyane long arm cannot get you, if you were in Kenya or Djibouti you would have been history.

For three days, I was in a bad mood, and I emailed to my friend Elias Kifle that I was not connected to ER. Elias, kind of him, responded to me that it was a network problem.
I am in a good mood now because the network problem has been solved; however, I would like to know why the EthiopianReview.com’s Server crashed.
God bless those who worked hard and restored the crashed server, and we are now in business again.

TOBIA – The Rifraf Woyane-Conscript! You need to go back to Primary school to get your spelling checked. Secondly, keep dreaming! this website will never go down before you all Woy-anes are annihilated from the surface of the earth. Besides, it proves that you even check the website all the time. All the diaspora are against the likes of you…

I am glad to see it back in service! ER is the only solid bridge and voice of the voiceless Ethiopian people to the outside world that we have left. It’s the ears and eyes of our oppressed people. The last two days had proved to me how much ER meant for those of us who care about the endless suffering of our Ethiopian people in hands of the Tigrains thugs rulers. If needed to, let us contribute or donate whatever we can afford to make this Ethiopian pride website the greatest ever. I hope Elias would accept my 2 cents suggestion and setup donation links for us to do so.

My dear Tobia #1,
As soon as you opened your mouth and prayed for the destruction of Elias Kifle, a distinguished journalist Ethiopia has ever produced, the Almighty God, who knows the dirtiness of your mouth, the propensity of your heart, and the overall unpleasant shape of your body, immediately rejected your prayer. Elias Kifle is safe and sound, but you, የእንግዴ ልጅ (after birth), will be thrown into the unfathomable depth of hell for your evil thought against our chief editor of the Ethiopian Review, Elias Kifle.

My dear Josina #5,
I’m glad your happiness has turned to sorrow when Elias Kifle reappeared with his educational programs, peaceful engagement with the Horn of Africa, and democratic vision for Ethiopia.
You fool! Eritreans are Ethiopians, and Ethiopians are Eritreans: they all are brothers and sisters; once the stumbling block – Meles Seitanawi – is removed, the two countries will establish a lasting friendship between their citizens, and Elias Kifle has been working hard to see these two independent countries live together, work together, and respect each other, and he will succeed, but you will be disappointed. Of course, disappointed you remain forever and ever.

Elias:
The fact that the ER server crashed on Tuesday,more than anything else,suggests that the hands of the FRUSTRATED masters of the Woyanes and the Woyanes themselves,have been involved, simply because of the SUCCESSFUL World Wide Demonstration where the Ethiopian flag was hoisted side by side with its Eritrean counterpart ,pointing to a new venue of struggle against neocolonial interests in our region.
Unequivocally, the Eritrean Diaspora has shown to the Masters of the Woyanes who devised the sanctions that there is nothing to isolate other than their puppy; to that outcome, the Ethiopian presence added a new dimension to the PEOPLES rejection of the neocolonial designs. More is to come!!
Elias, despite the temporary inconveniences, this harassment is yet another sign how your cyber front has turned out to be a serious threat to their deceptive strategies of divide and rule.
Elias and colleagues keep up the good job!
The Peoples Solidarity for Peace & Justice shall grow stronger!!

You may cowardly brag of another terrorist branch of the tplf, AMORAW:-0)however, take note that in due time those vultures are to be hunted within and outside Ethiopia. This is one reason why Ethiopians were deceptively kept divided from working with Eritreans.
Sweet like honey and stingy like bees!!

Dear Elias,
I am so happy to see you and ER back. I missed ER very much and I was so sad during the time it was offline.
This site is very important to a lot of people and if you are not planning already, my suggestios is that you may need to design a Failover Cluster for high availability, so this issue doesn’t happen again. Ofcourse, this will add to your expenses, but surely I and other ER followers will be willing to contribute money to alleviate the cost.
And please tell us the nature or cause of the failure, if you can.
Please Stay Strong and take good care of yourself wendim Elias.
For all you Elias/ER haters (Josina and Tobia)….Shame on you and you will not win. Ther new Eritreans and Ethiopians friendhip will continue to grow, thanks to Elias, ER, Sleshi, Neamin and other like minded Ethiopian and Eritreans people.
God bless you, Elias.

Selam Elias;
Is the problem normal technical one or an attack by culprits? What ever the cause of the problem I was distress. I hope you will recover all your essentials soon.
I cannot spend a day without checking my ER for simple reason; ie; the most unwavering anti woyane and freedom fighter website we Ethiopians take it for granted. ER hits woyane on the spine hard that is why all subhuman woyanes are trying hard to eliminate it.
Keep up the best work.
I am soooooo glaaaaaad to see you back

So many things went in my mind to whatever happened to you, glad to see you back! Be careful Elias. There is no doubt that the criminal Woyanes want to muzzle you as they have done to so many people in Ethiopia. I don’t trust Woyanes, I hope you have multi million dollar life insurance. I wish you and your loved ones all the best.

I am glad you are back. I know those servers expensive, and they cost money to maintain, even it wouldn’t be a good idea to have a reserve. So, if money is an issue, please let us know and we could do what we could, to many people will be happy to contribute for this room.

ethiopian review is a bridge between the shabia supporter eritreans and few extreme anti weyane ethiopians. by the way the service suspension by elias has some thing to do with what isayas said in his embarassing interview praising and making peace with the weyanes.

I spent most of my time surfing the net and out of the sites I visit,Ethiopianrevies.com of the Proud Elias Kifele is the most. Well, goole toolbar says so. I find this when I open a new tab.Ans it is always the case. Because he is a devoted jornalist working on Liberation of Ethiopia from the misery of the ethnic oligarch, the site is my home. I only say joy for me, Ethiopian Review lead by the most practical Elias Kifle is back.

Welcome back. Keep up the anti woyane struggle. Now as they control the money they could buy evil agents to do all sorts of damage. TPLF spynetwork agents are running here and there as the demise of the cancerous party is approaching. Eritreans and Ethiopians are blod related. They shall come together to eliminate the evils.

Lost data ouch. I use R1Soft’s backup software to backup our linux systems and databases. If you have a small amount of data, you can typically find backups using this system for $35-50/mo. The system takes a full snapshot of your server so you can recover from critical failures.
At rackAID, we have data vaults in Dallas, DC, and NYC so we can keep backups safely away from primary server.

February 26th, 2010 at 1:53 PM
You have to take a lesson from the mishap so that you should configure a roll-over server or a Stnadby server so that when a server got preempted, then the second server will kick start seamlessly, Hence you wont have a disgruntled readers!!!

Ha ha ha. The woyanne cadres and supporters are popping on their panes when they see Elias came back even stronger. Wow, I have noticed, for the first time that how much those blood suckers scared of Elias and the friendship of Eritrean and Ethiopian. I am sure Alamudi and Woyanne are spending millions of dollars to crash ethiopianreview.com
Welcome back and stay strong bro.

February 26th, 2010 at 8:44 PM
The woyanne supporters are saying that they hate Elias and don’t want ER to operate, but why are they keep coming to his website? Folks, just admit to Elias that you scared of him and plead with him to be a little easy on the woyanne. Tell the truth that you scared of him and you don’t want the world to know the true nature of your blood sucker government.

Elias,
Right on you are the man. The weyane rabid dogs are wetting their pants of your mighty pen. Keep up the good work and may God bless all your efforts. The scum of the earth can only survive by creating discord among Ethiopian and Eritrean. Cooperation, living side by side at peace and unity is a direct threat to their stay on power. The weyane aligence is to the interest of the west not of Ethiopians. Hope by now everyone understands where the power of this rabid dogs comes. The impact made by these web site and in particular by Elias is historic.
