Restricting people from hearing the voices of those other than your own is not only a violation of human rights, but also a clear indication of anxiety, as well as a reflection of a loss of self-confidence on the part of any regime.
The TPLF regime's chaotic state of mind has now prompted it to try to prevent the Ethiopian people from listening to programs aimed at uncovering the truth, which is highlighted in the broadcasts of the Eritrean media. Moreover, the regime has now issued orders for satellite dishes installed in the homes of individuals to be removed, branding them as 'illegal equipments used for following up the Eritrean media.' Continuing its desperate acts, the regime even assigned security agents to spy on Ethiopian citizens who follow up on Eritrean media. Furthermore, the TPLF clique is attempting to block internet websites that are working to uncover the truth about the current situation in Ethiopia . As it is to be recalled, the Derg regime in the early 1980s took similar measures to prevent the Eritrean people from tuning into the Dimtsi Hafash radio program, which was then broadcasting programs from the mountains of Sahel; the program revealed the failure and illegality of the Ethiopian colonization and the just cause of the Eritrean people. However, since the truth can never stay buried for long, the Derg's attempts had failed miserably because no power can ever destroy the witnesses of truth. It is in recent memory that the TPLF regime had tried to cover up its extremely narrow political objectives by applying seemingly modern philosophies and policies. The regime had tried to present itself as an avid advocator of freedom of expression and the culture of tolerance. But when the fake identity it had assumed disintegrated and its true face of a dictatorial and oppressive regime was exposed before the Ethiopian people and the world, the TPLF regime has now shriveled into a pitiful state in the face of both armed and unarmed popular opposition. Loathed by its own people and teetering around the dustbin of history, the TPLF regime's attempts to jam Eritrean media outlets are a clear indication of its desperation and anxiety. Several examples of such desperate measures resorted to by regimes all over the world, starting from the Derg regime, could be cited. But ultimately, the fact remains that there is no power in the world that can bury the force of truth for long.

Letter dated Nov. 30'07 from the Legal Adviser to the President of Eritrea to the president of the UNSC
From `legal nonsense� to `legal fiction�.

With effect from midnight tonight (30.11.2007), the demarcation of Ethio-Eritrean boundary will be as complete as any demarcated interstate boundary would be, if not better defined.
