Ethiopia jamming Arabsat transmission - Report

Jamming of Arabsat coming from Ethiopia - Minister

Preliminary investigations into the jamming of Arabsat satellite transmission shows that it is originating from Ethiopia, Telecommunications Minister Nicolas Sehnaoui said Wednesday, calling on Arabsat’s operator to secure new frequencies for its transmission in Lebanon.

“Arabsat told us that the source of the jamming is Ethiopia and it handed us a copy of their complaint they have passed to Ethiopian authorities on this matter,” said Sehnaoui.

Speaking to reporters during a visit to a local satellite station in Mount Lebanon’s Jouret al-Balout, Sehnaoui said that the political atmosphere in the region is likely to be behind the jamming of certain satellite operators.

“The political atmosphere in the region could push some countries to take such a step and start jamming on some operators,” Sehnaoui said.

Several Lebanese channels and the Qatar-based Al-Jazeera have been jammed in the past year, and the frequencies of Arabsat and Nilesat network providers have been jammed since the pro-democracy uprisings and ensuing unrest in Libya and Egypt.

Dictators want to brain-wash the people and leave them with no choice but to listen to their boring propaganda & lie always. To cover and hide their crimes from the eyes & ears of the people they resorted to spending in millions on jamming....

Aka Berket who is responsible for communication affairs, is one of the rugged and crude official in charge. Let alone his lie and fabrication, even looking his vilely face is a serious torture and we poor Ethiopians has been subjected to this for decades....

TPLF, becareful, Cockroaches. We don't let you to do anything harmful, like what you are doing against peaceful Ethiopians, since the last Twenty plus Years.
When it comes to Arab, we will make you to pee in your pants and we will wiped you out, from wherever you are. No one can save you.
At the past, we heard what you told for Egyptian President with fear behind closed doors. You told him, "we are going to give you some land from Amhara", Mubarak refused. Then, you told him, "Tigray is against Amhara. We are going to divert the Abbay Water into tigray and Egypt can not be affected by the amount of water". No conclusion done yet. TPLF did all these with fear of Egypt. During the discussion, Meles already changed Three wet pants. That has been in French and Arab Media comedies for fun for long time, until now. Believe me, it was real he pee.
We already slaved most of Meles people in Arab Country. What else he want.

I would have done the same thing, just jam it, all these garbage talk about nothing. The only thing we need is educational stations and the vast majority of it approx.90% are transmitted in Arabic.
Friends, don't be just followers, use your own mind to investigate the whole picture, don't trust them they have their own agenda especilly POLITICIANS.

This is a kind of repressive technology Meles is getting from China in exchange to opening up Ethiopia’s resources for the loot by foreigners.

Meles hopes his grip on power will survive by keeping Ethiopians ignorant as his regime is.

pippo!
Your comment caught my attention.Have ever thought through that when people revolt against their government, that they are oppressed in one way or another? You see in the countries you mentioned the rule of one man or oligarchy was the rule and the people do not have a say as to how they should be governed. Fake elections were conducted where the rules favoured the ruling class or party to succeed. Under such circumstances people revolt and demand change and the reality of such demand is met with violence and force by the ruling elites. Gadaffi, Mubarack , etc resorted to violence instead of listening to the people's demand and bring about the needed reforms. Their might did not save them and they were the source of all destructions. So if in Ethiopia people ask the regime to change/reform the land lease law, the terror law, charity laws,etc,.. which are undemocratic and stifle decent and rights; it is clever move to listen to the people and implement the necessary reforms. To do otherwise leads to frustration and more resistance from the people. If you think it through again, a government is there to serve the people according to will of the people and not the other way around.
Cheers

thank God, we have such a strong and smart govt who is capable of doing anything to our enemys at any given time.
the only thing our enemys can do is just cry and cry.
last time shabia was crying that Ethiopia is jamming its air waves, and they tried to go ahead and play tit for tat. [yemitebelaw yelat yemitikenanebew amarat]
but all of a sudden they realized they don't have the capablity.
so they orderd their video file warrior ESAT and their bandas almaria and eli ass kiftaff to elevate their negative propaganda and bad mouthing of our govt to a higher level. now we see all foot soldiers crying and barking their hearts out, as if there is no tomorrow.
for them [be enqirt lay jorro degiff endilu], the developmental progress and all good news are coming one on top of the other everyday, to the point they have to reveal their true vagabond, dirty, filthy selves to the public.
Ethiopian people these days well know these loosers, who keep wishing to distablize and destroy our country. good news in Ethiopia means, their demise. our enemys in the diaspora or eritrea will never accept any success story from Ethiopia. so they have to manufacture and fabricate bad news to make themselves fill good, which sustains their pathetic lives as well.

@Asmamaw.
Well what you are saying is true in the paper. But remember the revolution in Libya, Egypt and Syria is hijacked by third party, let me give you example, the Libyan revolution was mainly promoted by Qatari based Aljazeera network plus the rebels were armed by Qatar even sent troops and weapons to Libya, guess what happen now they even put a puppet leader in Tripoli who only listen to them not to the people of Libya. So do you believe this governments care about the people or their well being? i don't think so the only thing they care is their own agenda. radicalising the Muslim's
Yes we need free speech and government must allow the people to express their feeling, but in my opinion the involvement of third party is a bad news

Comment from: Afarman [Visitor]
Emmmmmmm, I don think Ethiopia has done it, because Ethiopia uses arabsat for international broadcasting purposes.

There is a good news however, if this is true, it shows that our government has developed the technological capacity to shutdown venomous broadcasts which spread hate and prejudice in the region.

When it comes to psychological and propaganda warfare Ethiopia can win, so its a good capacity, I salute Ethiopia for that. In the name of democracy and free press nation states shouldnt allow extremist and hate mongering views to be broadcasted.

Its a good news for Ethiopia and bad news for ESAT and ERITV amharic service. Eritv has been busy broadcasting programmes intended to strengthen alshabab(alqaeda in east africa) and weaken Ethiopia by supporting all armed rebel groups in the country.

I wish Ethiopia will master the art of shuting satelite broadcasts which have the capacity to destabilize the region. We shouldnt allow prophets of rage hijack the hard earned victory of our people.

But I don think Ethiopia has done it, but if it does well done for that technological advance.

Surely, x amount of $ spent to jam ArabSat, ESat, VOA and many other independent media outlets could have been better spent to FEED the nation. Millions of people in Ethiopia are depending on aid dollar/grains, millions more can not afford to eat a single decent meal a day, they are scattered all over major towns like litter begging with nowhere to live. Here is the retarded government wasting money jamming media outlets. Disgraceful to say the least.

Comment from: EPRDF is Corrupt [Visitor]
Meles want to keep all his evil deed in the dark.

Thank you Arabsat and Al Jazeera for reporting EPRDF’s abuse against the inhabitants of the lower Omo Valley in south-western Ethiopia.

“Nearly 300,000 hectares of land in the Omo and Mago National Parks, which comprises much of the Lower Omo Valley, has been sold for the Kuraz Sugar Development program. Backed by large-scale investment from Indian companies,..”

If the Arabsat was hiding and singing with Meles the story would have been different.

One way or another nothing is going to be a hidden secret like the good old days and the more they try to hide the more they expose who they are. Once Dedebit always dedeb..!

The countrys telecommunications Minister, Mr. Nicolas Sehnaoui, yesterday thrown his accusations at the increasingly totalitarian government of Ethiopia after results from the preliminary investigations into the jamming of Arabsat satellite transmission confirms Ethiopia as the source of the jamming signal.

Satellite network companies Arabsat and Nilesat are under considerable pressure from respective governments and TV operators to force the reclusive Ethiopian government to stop either its signal interference practices or suspend its lone state-owned television channel indefinitely from their networks.

This jamming is more than lightly cellphone network Microwave frequencies being too close to the satellite frequency. We had exactly the same problem a few years back where I work. When mobile operators came on line they transmitted very near other networks such as V-sat and TV Sat transmissions. The ITU can resolve this issue, the Chinese operator for Ethiopian Telecom need to investigate this and a simple adjustment to their transmitting frequency will sort the issue. I doubt very much ET are purposely jamming.
