Ethiopia Recruits Bloggers to Attack Oppositions and the Eritrean Government

Regime in Paranoia? From Jamming satellite transmissions, blocking websites, criminalise using Skype and arresting bloggers to recruiting paid online attackers and arresting bloggers to training paid social media recruits?

IN an attempt to reduce online criticisms and shower positive image of itself, the Ethiopian Government recently started to train and recruit paid attackers on the web to anything critical of its administration, the Ethiopian Satellite Television Service (ESAT) reported.

In the the second round of new recruits, 235 bloggers were trained in Adama town, focusing on how to shape public opinion on Facebook and other social media technologies by posting comments and documents that support the regime.

The training was given to selected people from different ethnic groups who support the regime, and that the trainees report directly to government officials, ESAT said.

So far, the trainees have opened 2,350 Facebook, Twitter and blog accounts to show the Ethiopian regime in a favorable light, and to criticize anti-government articles, websites, the Ethiopian opposition and the Eritrean government.

With a dismal one percent of people having access to the internet in Ethiopia, the likely intended target of the regime’s online strategy are the Ethiopian and Eritrean Diasporas, an observer noted.

THE TORTURE AND BRUTAL MURDER OF ALSAN HASSEN BY ETHIOPIAN POLICE WILL SHOCK YOUR CONSCIENCE

(OPride) — A 21-year old Oromo student, Nuredin Hasen, who was abducted from Haromaya University late last month and held incommunicado at undisclosed location, died earlier this month from a brutal torture he endured while in police custody, family sources said.

Members of the federal and Oromia state police nubbed Hassen (who is also known by Alsan Hassen) and 12 other students on May 27 in a renewed crackdown on Oromo students. Friends were not told the reason for the arrests nor where the detainees were taken.

Born and raised in Bakko Tibbe district of West Shawa zone, Alsan, who lost both of his parents at a young age, was raised by his grandmother.

The harrowing circumstances of his death should shock everyone's conscience. But it also underscores the inhumane and cruel treatment of Oromo activists by Ethiopian security forces.

According to family sources, on June 1, a police officer in Dire Dawa called his counterpart at West Shewa Zone Police Bureau in Ambo and informed him that Alsan “killed himself” while in prison. The officer requested the local police to tell Alsan's family to pick up his body from Menelik Hospital in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia's capital.

The West Shewa zone police relayed the message to the district police station in Bakko Tibbe and the latter delivered the message to Alsan’s family. Three family members then rushed to the capital to collect the corpse of a bright young man they had sent off, far from home, so that he can get a decent shot at college education.

Upon arrival, the hospital staff told the family to search for his body from among 30 to 40 corpse’s kept in a large room. According to our sources, what they saw next was beyond the realm of anyone's imagination. The details are too gruesome to even describe.

They found their beloved son badly tortured, his face disfigured and barely recognizable. His throat was slit leaving only the muscles and bones at the back of his neck connecting his head to the rest of the body. There were large cuts along his eyelids, right below the eyebrows as if someone had tried to remove his eyes. There were multiple wounds all over his face and head. Both of his arms were broken between his wrists and his elbows.

It appeared as if the federal forces employed all forms of inhumane torture tactics, leaving parts of his body severely damaged and disjointed. The family could not grasp the cruelty of the mutilation carried upon an innocent college student.

Their ordeal to recover Alsan's body did not end there either. Once the body was identified, the federal police officer who brought the body from Harar told the family to pay 10,000 birr (roughly $500) to cover the cost of transportation the government incurred. They were informed that the body will not be released unless the money is paid in full.

The family did not have the money, nor were they prepared for the unexpected tragedy. After friends and relatives raised the requested sum to cover his torturers costs, Alsan's body was transported to Bakko Tibbe, where he was laid to rest on June 2. There was little doubt that Alsan was murdered while in detention, but in police state Ethiopia, the family may never even know the full details of what happened to their son, much less seek justice.

In an increasingly repressive Ethiopian state, being an Oromo itself is in essence becoming a crime. To say the gruesome circumstances surrounding Alsan's death is heart-wrenching is a gross understatement. But Alsan's story is not atypical. It epitomizes the sheer brutality that many Oromo activists endure in Ethiopia today.

On June 6, another Oromo political prisoner, Nimona Tilahun passed away in police custody. Tilahun, a graduate of Addis Ababa University and former high school teacher, was initially arrested in 2004 along with members of the Macha Tulama Association during widespread protests opposing the relocation of Oromia's seat to Adama. He was released after a year of incarceration and returned to complete his studies, according to reports by Canada-based Radio Afurra Biyya.

Born in 1982, Tilahun was re-arrested in 2011 from his teaching job in Shano, a town in north Shewa about 80kms from Addis Ababa. He was briefly held at Maekelawi prison, known for torturing inmates and denying legal counsel to prisoners. And later transferred between Kaliti, Kilinto and Zuway where he was continuously tortured over the last three years. Tilahun was denied medical treatment despite being terminally ill. His death this week at Black Lion Hospital is the third such known case in the last two years.

On August 23, 2013, a former UNHCR recognized refugee, engineer Tesfahun Chemeda also died  under suspicious circumstances, after being refused medical treatment. In January, a former parliamentary candidate with the opposition Oromo People's Congress from Calanqo, Ahmed Nejash, died of torture while in custody. These are the few names and stories that have been reported. Ethiopia holds an estimated 20 to 30 thousand Oromo political prisoners. Many have been there for more than two decades, and for some of them not even family members know if they are still alive.

While Alsan, Chemeda, Nejash and Tilahun's stories offer a glimpse of the brutality behind Ethiopia's gulags, it is important to remember thousands more face similar heinous abuses everyday.

Since Oromo students began protesting against Addis Ababa's unconstitutional expansion in April, according to eyewitnesses, more than a 100 people have been killed, hundreds wounded and many more unlawfully detained. While a relative calm has returned to university campuses, small-scale peaceful protests continue in many parts of Oromia. Reports are emerging that mass arrests and extrajudicial killings of university students are far more widespread than previously reported. Last month, dozens of students at Jimma, Madawalabu, Adama and Wallaggauniversities were indefinitely dismissed from their education. In addition, an unknown number of students from all Oromia-based colleges are in hiding fearing for their safety if they returned to the schools.

Given the Horn of Africa nation's tight-grip on free press and restrictions on human rights monitoring, in the short run, the Ethiopian security forces will continue to commit egregious crimes with impunity. But the status quo is increasingly tenable. For every Alsan and Tilahun they murder, many more will be at the ready to fight for the cause on which they were martyred. As long repression continues unabated, the struggle for justice and freedom will only be intensified. No amount of torture and inhumane treatment can extinguish the fire that has been sparked.

Ethiopia: Has the Government suspended Mayor of Addis Ababa?

Khartoum (HAN) June 6, 2014. Ethiopian News Opinion By, MINILIK SALSAWI, Breaking News. Abadula Kuma Mayor of Addis Ababa has suspended from any type of activities, Stripped-off their passport and fall under 24 hours surveillance. the ruling party took such radical measure and start to swallow even his own loyalists following the dispute of Adis Ababa master plane expansions. No one knows where to end perhaps it may go further down to the grassroots level. Eradicate all the Network planted by Abadulla and his compatriots for the past two decades is not going to be an easy task with out that “evil genius” who used to manipulate the balance power.

“Those who make peaceful evolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable” ~John F. Kennedy

The Tigray ruling party tplf  of 6% that controls over 98% of the military leadership of some of the 90 million Ethiopians from the time it arrived to addis as well as using divide and rule tactics of survival of the minority over the majority will now engage in mobilizing Amhara patriots from corner to corner against Oromos.

That is for the purpose of weakening the Oromo people’s rights, in general as well as in the coming 2015 make believe one party election acrobat, while currently Amara patriots are gleeful and too much over glad, just similar to the bygone time in 2005 election period when the tplf banished Oromia administration office form Addis Ababa to Adama to clear the ground for CUD’s land slide victory that almost swallowed the tplf and its leader from existence on spot, but again now Amara patriots saying “what goes round, comes round” to oromos while they themselves are now living the flowery days in their ususal opinion while waiting for the right occasion and for their turn to be an object of  TPLF’s devious attack that is sure to happen just when the current dust concerning the Addis plan settles down and the Amara jubilation slowly but surely cools down to realities.
Oromo people are asking themselves, Why Oromo region is under military rule?

General Samora Muhammad Yunis said the military ae in Oromo regional state specific area because “of the violence in Bangkok and many parts of the country that resulted in loss of innocent lives and property, [which] was likely to escalate”.

General added: “We ask the Ethiopian public not to panic and to carry on their lives normally.”

A curfew has just been declared some parts of Oromia, so the Ethiopian military is obviously making efforts to make sure there is no immediate response to its announcement.

Eutelsat Fingers Ethiopia as Jamming Incidents Triple

By Peter B. de Selding 

PARIS — Satellite fleet operator Eutelsat said intentional interference, which accounted for just 5 percent of the disruptions to its fleet in 2010, was responsible for 15 percent of the signal disruptions in 2013.

The tripling of intentional interference events, tied in part to the expansion of Eutelsat’s fleet serving Middle Eastern and African television audiences, is unlikely to drop in 2014 with the latest round of jamming by an unidentified source in Ethiopia.

Eutelsat said the jamming, which has affected Riyadh, Saudi Arabia-based Arabsat’s satellites as well as at least two Eutelsat spacecraft, has been geolocated in northeast Ethiopia.

The way the jamming is conducted has resulted to interference not only on the presumed target broadcaster, but to all broadcasters sharing the affected satellite transponders.

Jean-Francois Bureau, director of international affairs at Paris-based Eutelsat, said the company has relayed its jamming data to the French National Frequencies Agency (ANF), which will forward it both to the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in Geneva and to the Ethiopian government as part of a protest.

Arabsat has similarly said it is taking its protest to the ITU, although industry officials admit the United Nations affiliate has no real power to impose penalties on governments, even those that are identified as conducting or sanctioning the interruption of satellite signals.

Alexandre Vallet, head of regulatory affairs and spectrum and orbit resources at the French ANF, said France will be working within the ITU this year to push forward an ITU proposal to use a global network of antennas to geolocate jamming sources more quickly.

Satellite operators, especially those that have joined the Space Data Association and are contributing to a data pool at that organization, already are able to use each other’s satellites to identify, with a precision to within 100 kilometers — and usually much less — a source of jamming.

Mark Rawlins, head of payload operations and engineering at Eutelsat, said June 4 that it took Eutelsat just a couple of hours, using two of its own satellite located near each other, to pinpoint the Ethiopian jamming source.

Rawlins said the jamming source is using a high-powered antenna to disrupt programming on the uplink to transponders on two Eutelsat satellites, located at 7 degrees west and 21 degrees east.

Rawlins declined to speculate on the reason for the jamming, saying jammer motivations, while usually political in nature, are not always easy to discern.

The Eutelsat spacecraft affected carry a channel owned by Oromia Media Network of Minneapolis, a network that has been jammed before. The network launched in March to provide independent, citizen-driven reporting on Ethiopia and Oromia, the country’s largest and most populous state.

“We believe this is part of the Ethiopian government’s  [policy of] silencing alternative voices,” the network said in a June 5 statement, citing previous examples of Ethiopian government officials’ defense of jamming techniques.

Arabsat does not carry Oromia broadcasts, but one industry official speculated that the jammers are aware that Arabsat may soon sign a contract that would put Oromia on an Arabsat satellite at 26 degrees east.

While Eutelsat and Arabsat both say they have localized, beyond a reasonable doubt, the national territory in which the jamming is occurring, their claims as interested parties do not carry the weight of a neutral oversight network.

That is why France and other nations are backing the ITU proposal to create a network of antennas recognized by the ITU has being objective.

“Our understanding is that the proposed contributors to the network have agreed to participate, and what we want to do now is close the loop with the ITU,” Vallet said here June 2 during the Global Space Applications Conference, organized by the International Astronautical Federation.

Lyudmyla Karpenko, of the Ukraine State Center of Radio Frequencies, said a Ukrainian antenna farm near Kiev is one of the proposed contributors to the ITU network and has agreed to take part.

Most satellite signal interference events are due to poorly aimed or maintained ground antennas that accidentally cause interference. The Space Data Association and other industry organizations, including the Global VSAT Forum and the Satellite Interference Reduction Group — backed by industry heavyweights including fleet operators Intelsat, SES, Inmarsat and Eutelsat — are promoting ways to stop accidental interference.

The methods include systematic training of ground operations and the adoption of “Carrier ID” by satellite antenna manufacturers enabling quick identification of antennas that are causing interference.

But Carrier ID will not resolve the problem of intentional jamming, which in Eutelsat’s case has reached about 15 percent of total annual interference events. Bureau said part of the reason for the increase is that Eutelsat’s fleet has increased from 28 satellites to 34 in the past three years, meaning the company is now a larger target in interference-prone zones.

“What is clear is that over the past three years there has been a significant increase in deliberate jamming,” Bureau told the conference.

Vallet said that given the lack of enforcement muscle at ITU, the best way to combat jamming for now is “naming and shaming” the perpetrators and using diplomatic pressure to get them to stop.

Rawlins said the SDA grouping of satellite operators — to date, Asian operators have not been persuaded to join the group — is working on automating their geolocalization so that they interconnect automatically. The new system should be operational by early 2015.
