Activist Tamagne’s moving appeal for change from Ethiomedia on Vimeo.

Neither ESAT’s administrative nor technical problems are to blame for the service disruption, a statement released by the board said on Saturday.
Millions of Ethiopians welcomed the launch of the satellite television service as a political breakthrough that would end state-sponsored news and information blackout that has hit Ethiopia for several years.

Government policy doesn’t allow Ethiopians to own and run TV and radio services, and many observers say it is a deliberate government policy to keep the people in a media blackout.

ESAT was born at a time when government repression became complete even the daily one-hour broadcasting services of the Voice of America (VOA) and Deutsche Welle (DW) are jammed to listeners in the country.

ESAT said the disruption sparked thousands of telephone calls and email inquiries, and stated:
The service interruption is caused neither by any action or omission of ESAT or any of its personnel. It also ruled out equipment failure or technical problems.
We are in communication with our service providers to find out exactly the cause of the interruption, and work cooperatively with them to resolve any issues or problems, if any.

The board said ESAT will continue to ‘provide the services it has started,’ and expressed grtitude to “our viewers and supporters for their moral, financial and material support. We ask our viewers and supporters to bear with us patiently as we resolve the current service interruption issue.”

This sounds like seeking recognition and acceptance from the dictatorship like a small teen age child rebelling against the loved parents. Does not sound promising and promoting.

Wayane has a hell lot of resources, loud voices as well as huge amounts of monopoly media outlets of its own and does not care a dash for your yet theoretical independent TV. So why not concentrate on giving voices to those who were denied a say and any voice in their own country?

And the again it must be broadcast in several Ethiopian languages if it claims to be for Ethiopians.
