4th Round Election Debate

(for more....ethiopian.tv)

On AEUP!!!

During the last US presidential election one of the Republican candidate decided not to campaign in the early stage! When pundits asked why, the answer they got from his campaign managers and aides was that he would join in the Florida campaign.
The gentleman was playing a pick and choose campaign, giving up on some states and over confident with some other states like Florida.
AEUP, after abstaining the first three discussions, for some "good reason" only known to it, has now decided to join the discussion! The Republican candidate never recovered from his mishap and never made it to the finish line of the pre-election campaign. Let us hope, for the sake of AEUP supporters, the fate of AEUP will not be the same as the gentleman from New York was!

Mr Isaias Afeworki Rant!!

Isaias Afeworki must think little about Eritreans! Otherwise he will not have ruled them with iron fist with no constitution and no rule of law. But did you know what he thinks about others?

Listen
In this Tigrigna diatribe with his tortured subjects from Debub Eritrea he talks about "sub humans" and humans! The people were probably angered due to the hopeless situation they are in but Isaias as usual spin his way out to lecture them about the "sub humans" that made their lives miserable! Ebud ReiEna Ayneabedn Kkoynu ember...Melsi's Neyruna..."(in short we could have answered him in kind but...)
Mr Isaias you can not fool people always, once may be! Get this the border issue has nothing to do with Eritrea's misery today.

News & Analysis

VOA-Amharic and Fairness.....Have Your Say!! Do you believe in responsible journalism? Do you believe VOA-Amharic has been fair and responsible media? What comes to your mind when you listen to VOA-Amharic? That the station is biased and controlled by supporters of Ethiopia’s legal and illegal opposition groups? Should Ethiopia jam VOA-Amharic if and when it develops the technical knowhow to jam any radio station? Why is VOA allowing Oromiffa and Tigrigna programs to remain fair and balanced but not the Amharic program? Is VOA knowingly or unknowingly telling Amharic listeners as well as Tigrigna and Oromiffa listeners have different interest or different political mind set? It looks to us that way but what about you?... Have your say!

.US condemns Ethiopia for VOA jamming
WASHINGTON (AFP) – The United States condemned Ethiopia's blocking of Voice of America broadcasts, calling the country's accusations of the US radio service "baseless and inflammatory."
Didn’t the US block or deny Al Jazeera TV access to Cable TV or to that effect during the Iraq war? We are sure some of our resourceful readers will come with a precedence Ethiopia can use to silence the critics if it ever decides to Jam VOA-Amharic!
