The Woyanne regime has jammed the VOA broadcast to Ethiopia since yesterday, according to ER sources in Addis Ababa. Woyanne has been trying to jam VOA for a long time, but finally it succeeded with the help of the Chinese Government that provided technicians and powerful radio jamming equipments.
This is one more evidence that China is fast becoming a major obstacle to Africa’s move toward democracy.
Ethiopian Review and all other web sites that are critical of the regime are continued to be blocked. Ethiopian Review was briefly accessible in Ethiopia last month after the web site changed an IP address. It is now blocked again.

Good job China!!!!!!!!!1
The current criminal regime of Mels Naziawi is desperately attempting to halt the democratic movement of the people of Ethiopia. This is a typical nature of anti-people dictatorial regimes which is the Meles Naziawi regime is the typical example.
it is not a surprise if the EPRDF led dictatorial regime jammed the voice of America because since comming to power has jammed the voices of 77 million Ethiopians.
It is their motto to curb any information from the people since they need the Ethiopian peoples have no choice to hear other sources rather than thier day in day out propoganda full of lies.
This shoould be used as yet another evidence that the Ethiopioan government is in violation of the freedom of expression. US officilas who oppose HR2003 saying there is progress in Ethiopia have to explain how a government that jams the Voice of America can be considered a democrat and a friend to the US.
A desperate regime takes desperate measures. We have to intensify the struggle against the criminal thugs who are resolved to clng to power no matter what. No holds barred in the struggle to remove the criminal thugs in power in Ethiopia.
silencing media the deed of TPLF COZ is the most anti human rights country in the world,not only do they lead the world in SILENCING MEDIA but also torture and clearly shows dictorial oppressive tplf regime,they dont really care what the rest of the world thinks as long as EFFORT is satisfied and TPLF criminals left unpanished.
Better to check if it is really due to Jamming or some other technical failre. I do not think any benefit of jamming on the part of the Jammers, if any, as VOA is not the nly means of information. Information is now widely available from various sources, thanks to the Info technology.
Hi gate,
It is really done by woyanne , it is not technical error. How technical error from transmitter in US blocks receiption in ethiopia only ?
The end is in sight. These are desperate acts of a dying regime. They can no more pretend to be democratic. I think this can be a good evidence for the U.S. senate to pass HR 2003.
Could it be the beginning of the end?
A desperate measure from a very scared government.
For your surprising not only VOA, but also spiritual program which is transmitting from abroad (Seychilles or FEBA radio)is jammed by woyane from yesterday.
The only thing this and the previous two governments has successfully achieved is making the people of ethiopia ignorant. They really seceded perfectly. Can you imagine that 2000 years after the birth of Christ, we have only one TV channel, a couple of radio channels and some news papers. And all are government controlled. All sorts of communications to the rest of the world are assassinated continuously. We are the least developed nation in telecommunication, internet etc.
I think it is time to proteste the work of Chines government in a deplomatice or other way and introducing more how communist China is against the oppressed people.
Elias thank you for your good job
God bless
you can get mad as much as you want to or you can hope this will be the end of eprdf but you will be saying the same thing 10 years from today while eprdf ruling the country!!!! mark my word!!!
Being hidden in Nakfa caves with its anti-Ethiopia plan, then came out of the dark and damp caves with nothing but a lot of guns and bullets, this criminal regime of that fascist regime of Meles Naziawi is close to its bitter fate.
Until it kisses the lips of its sour fate, it is desperately trying to chock the voice of Ethiopians by any means it could; these desperate measures won’t definitely take him to nowhere; rather, it will lead it to final fall from which it will never revive and attack Ethiopians.
As the circumstances show currently, this brutal regime is digging its own deep and wide grave very quickly. When this filthy regime dies, its filthy body shall be dumped into Nakfa cave where it came from.
As it is vividly seen by global community, this mafia criminal family of that fascist Meles Naziawi is closely reaching to kissing its fate.
This filthy criminal regime shall be sent dead back to Nakfa caves where it is hatched out of a filthy egg of Shaebya.
As evidinces show, this mafia regime is desperately attempting to chock the voice of millions Ethiopians by any bad means it could to no avil.
When that fatuful day of this crimial regime arrives, this nazi family will definitely kiss the waited fate and becomes the residue of a bad history.
