As the Chairman of Assenna Foundation, I sent a concept paper for a shared satellite platform (attached) to Saba Tesfayohannes, Chairwoman of ERISAT, on 1 February  2020 with a covering email saying:

 

“Dear Saba,

 

I trust this email finds you well.

Over the last few months, we have been concerned about ATV’s financial viability and hence I pulled together the attached consultation paper for a shared satellite platform.The paper is still work in progress and I should be grateful if you could please carefully check the ERISAT financial info/data, and if incorrect let me have your corrections. 

If you think the paper is worth exploring further, we can have it update with your changes and present it to our respective Board for consideration. What do you think?

I look forward to hearing from you soon”.

Saba sent the email below on 3 February:

 

“Dear Habte, 

I hope you are well. We are in the middle of our fundraising campaign, and I have been extremely busy, and did not even realize that I did not reply to your email. I received your email and I will read the concept paper and share with the Board of Directors and after having discussion on it, I will get back to you.

Thank you,

Best Regards”,

 

Saba

 

This is the second attempt by Asssena Foundation Board to invite ERISAT to use the same satellite platform as ATV. In early 2019 and before ERISAT went live, we sent a draft Memorandum of Understanding proposing a shared satellite platform but we received no response. The rental cost of satellite is prohibitively expensive. And given our limited resources, it is not possible to create sufficient programmes for a 24/7 broadcasting but the rental cost must be paid for 24 hours each day.

The Assenan Foundation Board is committed to a shared satellite given our common goal and identical source of funding, It is regrettable and indeed baffling we have not as yet received response to our concept paper from ERISAT. Why we ask? It is Eritrean diaspora’s money that funds ATV and ERISAT. For us, it makes perfect sense to join hands and it is with this in mind we are making the draft concept paper public so donors can see for themselves.

Our offer to ERISAT remains open, and indeed it is open to all other Eritrean organisations that wish to work with us for the common good of our long suffering people.

Our people deserve and expect better.
