ESAT (Ethiopian Satellite TV) has announced that is once again back on air and transmitting direct to Ethiopia for the 7th time starting yesterday.
The new satellite parameters are:
ABS1 Satellite
75 degree East
C Band
Downlink: 3.480 GHz Vertical (3480)
Symbol Rate: 1.852 Msps (1852)
FEC : 2/3
The regime in Ethiopia has been waging a full scale war on the independent Ethiopian media, and ESAT is one of its primary targets.
The 20-year-old decaying regime has also blocked all independent news web sites, such as this one.

What do you expect if you do not conduct a meaningful campaign that benefits the Ethiopian people? Your politics are based gossiping, smearing, insulting and ha no substance at all.
You will not get support if you carry on like thugs. Conduct yourself in civilised manner then the Ethiopian people will understand your political motives otherwise you will be seen as a troublemaker.
Yelma, Elias, Alemayehu, Sioum and the rest including your followers who post hate comments, you will achieve nothing as your articles are based on ethnic hatreds, insults, gossips, etc., and also contain no valuable info and genuine argument to make a good case that the Ethiopian people are seeking or deserve to hear.
You are not exemplary to the Ethiopian youth. Retire in your foreign luxury and leave the Ethiopian people alone. Stop inciting violence and political unrest. The Ethiopian people do not need this at the moment. The Ethiopian people need bread and butter.
Please learn from history. The Derg used to drum the same politics as yours against the TPLF/EPRDF and failed miserably and remove from power. You are on the same path as the Derg. You will leave in exile forever.
Good job ESAT. You are making history.
In a country like Ethiopia where media is controlled by one party system, we can’t talk about democracy. Our people should have access to independent media like ESAT to exercise democracy.

Even though you are not worth for a responce about any thing let alone civilized manner and only a die hard illitrate and cult member
of a shifta group that does not have a mirror or a single individual
who can teach you about a civilized manner in the entire cult as all the members are beyond primitive line,if you think looting killing jamming a high civilized media with the only the truth on the ground formed by the honest Ethiopians unlike your woyanne lies fabrication center like walta ,radio fana which is managed by Mebratu aka simon and
Legese aka melese the pathological liers of the century. If you think
that you are enjoing life being supplied from these two gangsters make
you civilized only shows who you are not more not less,and today before visiting ER iwas looking by the warka view one of your likes by the name Kiburan aka Ben alamoudi first the most pretender tries to tell to the renomierte scholar Tedla Asfaw how to behave with his articles (iIt seems in the woyanne cult camp is self diginity does not exist and that starts fro your leaders whom i mention previously
Weyane: Look before you jump! and think before you stink!
So they say? “Tebale ende”? The pot calling the kettle black. You better tell Meles, the mother of all hates and chief tribalist and his stooges that swallow his hate politics and tribalism and regurgitate day in and day out and not those guys you mentioned and the rest of us.
“Lemayawkish tategn”. We all know who stinks badly and who doesn’t.
WOYANE,
‘The Ethiopian people need bread and butter’, you are right. but look, your masters spending the money to buy tanks, instead of buying tractors.
That way we can till our land ourselves, instead giving our land to Indians and Saudis.
Woyanes, you will soon be history!
Down with TPLF!
I salute the management of ESAT. You guys are a real fighter. We are always with you!! Congratulations once again.
People Power !!
Media is one of the three ideal weapons for dictators, others are military & education.
Democracy and poverty reduction can never be guaranteed by politicians alone, whether they are elected or self-nominated, let alone in the dictatorial regime. People need to voice their concern, for this they need access to information that has not been filtered, censored or distorted. There is lack of this opportunity in Ethiopia & Woyane is trying everything to make sure this opportunity doesn’t exist by using tax payer’s many day in and day out.
Freedom of expression is essential in enabling democracy to work and public participation in decision-making. Citizens cannot exercise their right to vote effectively or take part in public decision-making if they do not have free access to information and ideas and are not able to express their views freely. Woyane takes this as a danger to his power instead; however it is what needed in democratic society.
If the current government in Ethiopia is sincere & working for improvement of life of population as it pretend to do, would allow free media and would challenge any miss information by evidence if any.
Unfortunately chooses to block free media of any form instead to confront with truth, if has any.
God the Almighty bless Ethiopia
The new Emperor sans cloth says… the undignified joker legesse says…”Let them eat tanks”. Do you know what happened to Marie Antonnete who said the same thing? Now find the highest tree. It’s a matter of time.

All of you have no idea what the Ethiopian people need. If you genuinely believe in grown up politics, establish and lead a peaceful opposition party and convince the Ethiopian people you have a better policies that benefit the Ethiopian people instead of hiding behind computer screen posting your revulsion, hatreds and unhelpful comments.
As we know it, you have no trousers and you are not men enough facing reality as you are completely isolated in the wildness somewhere in your luxury lifestyle pretending that you have concerns about Ethiopian people.
I bet you have already renounce your Ethiopian nationality and you are not Ethiopian citizen. So do yourselves a favour and stop your vile comments and learn from the political process of the country you live in and debate a constructive politics amicably that will benefit the Ethiopian people.
