Even she/he has witnessed what is going on in Ethiopia, it is not just Ethiopians. You want to hide the crimes of your TPLF ethnic government by allowing to contruct buidlings but what good does that do when Ethioians are not even eating once a day? Of course, any opposition to your TPLF regimes you call it hate. And please, everything you accuse of Amara is what you are doing right now and trying to cover up the Tigray absolute control in Ethiopia in every sector. Amara did not do that. You are accusing Amara because they are unifying factor and peace and have competency and you see them as threat. You must be challenged again by them. even after 20 years of taking over. What do you expect you will always be challenged because Amara and Oromo are the majority of course you shouldn't be in in power. You even have the nerve not to distribute the power to other ethnic groups. Did you not read what Miller wrote above?

They will do anything to defame Ethiopians. In fact, these groups and TPLFregime is anti Ethiopian if you talk to the right people what has been going on. They want to exist while oppressing the 80 million of the people. That is why they are accusing you. PLease keep spreading this news and keep stay being the friends of Ethiopians not the fake mercenary government that benefits only itslef and its supporters that you see on this website. Today, any Ethiopians who is looking for a job, to buy food, to go to school, etc, he has to be TPLF member. If he refuses, they don't leave him alone, he will make sure he doesn't live in Ethiopia and force him into exile or make him homeless. This doesn't even happen in other poor countries. Only in TPLF Ethiopia will you see our women being sold as slaves and prosttutues for sex traffickers. TPLF is cashing in on this. ONly in TPLF Ethiopia our children are being sold. Only in TPLF Ethiopia you will see mass refugees dying on sea. Surely you must think something is wrong here? Bless you Miller,

Then it is the right of Ethiopian people to dislike or like the Ethiopian governemnt you are talking is not about Ethiopia but a small ethnic group that is standing for TPLF. Thus as it was your right you got rid of past regime because you hated the government and you fought to get rid of it. Wouldn;t you then say it is our right for Ethiopian people to hate this govenemnt which is actually TPLF that stands only for ONE ethnic group? Ethiopians have every right to fight this regime that is undemocratic, ethnic-only government, anti Ethiopian, many many reason for us to fight.

My hats of to those dedicated people striving to empower the Ethiopian people. Nevertheless, 85% of the Ethiopian people is living in rural setting and not connected with electricity. That means 85% of Ethiopians (the most unpriviledged) can't watch ESAT TV. The most important body of the population to empower is this same rural dwellers. In my view, radio would reach much audience than TV in present Ethiopia and its cost effective. In my astonishment, the ESAT management failed to see this truth. Secondly, its quite preposterous to claim that Ethiopians need to know about the behavior of their bruthal regime through a media from overseas - since they are living in it! In current Ethiopia, media can play vital role if and only if it is accompanied by a revolution or insurrection on the ground. That time it will speed up the flow of information to supplement the actions taken by the people. At this moment, ESAT TV is a meer platform of connected elite to present themselves as the uncontested leaders of the future Ethiopia after the downfall of TPLF regime. This is not fair and democratic. For casual observer, it is not difficult to prove that most guests on ESAT are from the same stock. Information is power when it is used appropriately.

Government of Ethiopia and their 100% Tigray allies call Esat a terrorist TV, Hate TV etc when that is totally, utterly, absolutely NOT TRUE. All Esat does is expose the truth, expose mismanagement of the country, mistreatment of citizens by brutal tyrants in Ethiopia. We Ethiopians call real this journalism NOT terrorism. We would like to inform the writer of this article that government paid agents operate in the cyber space and cry foul all the time. Those people who are opposing Esat, Every opposition group in Ethiopia and pretty much label Ethiopians who do not agree with Zenawi's policies, rules as Terrorists are 100% from the Tigray region. Most are paid to do so. Esat is the best alternative to ETV , Radio Fana & the likes that are 100% Ethiopian government controlled propaganda machines.

Is the City Attorney alleging that the BZA engaged in corruption or other form of wrongdoing? Seems to be at odds with his mantra that they do not need a lawyer.
