Eritrea Accuses Ethiopia of Blocking Satellite Transmissions
Q
By Paul Richardson - Jan 11, 2012 5:54 AM ET
Eritrea’s government accused neighboring Ethiopia of jamming its
satellite broadcasts and threatened to take legal action, the
Information Ministry said.
Ethiopia has been warned by the Arab Satellite Communications
Organization that the interference is illegal, the Asmara-based
ministry said in a statement on its website.
Ethiopian government spokesmen Bereket Simon and Shimeles Kemal didn’t
answer calls to their mobile phones seeking comment.
Eritrea, formerly an Ethiopian province, won independence after a 1993
referendum. The two countries fought a 1998-2000 border war that
killed 70,000 people, according to the Brussels- based International
Crisis Group.
