Topic

National news — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 11 September 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 100% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and why it has no browse page of its own yet.

31 measurements spanning 42 days, net +55. Dots are measurements; the straight line between them is drawn to join them, not to claim we know the path taken in between — snapshots are recorded only when a count changes, so gaps mean “no change observed”, never “interpolated”. The vertical axis spans 12,343–12,424 and does not start at zero.

ERR is average views per post over the last 30 days divided by subscribers, the definition TGStat uses, so this figure is comparable with the one you will see elsewhere. It falls structurally as a channel grows: a high ERR on a small channel and a low one on a large channel describe reach mathematics, not quality. We publish the figure and the sample it came from and pass no verdict on it.

ER is defined industry-wide as (forwards + reactions + comments) ÷ views — note the denominator is views, not subscribers. Telegram’s public web preview carries views and reactions but not forward or comment counts, so the reaction rate above is the reactions term only and is therefore a floor: the true ER for this channel is higher by an amount we have not measured and will not estimate. It is computed over the 8 of 9 measured posts that carry a reaction reading, and over those same posts' views.

Readings taken2 Sept 2026, 22:04 UTC

Views are a single reading per post, taken at the time above. A post published in the last day or two is still accumulating views, which pulls the 30-day average down slightly. That is a property of the standard definition rather than a fault in it, so we keep the definition rather than “correcting” the number into something nobody can reproduce.

Precision. Telegram publishes view counts on its public widget in short form — 8.12K, 3.7M — so any reading at or above 1,000 reaches us rounded to three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. Averages and rates derived from them are shown to the same precision rather than to the unit: a figure like 3,701,250 would assert digits nobody measured.

Reaction counts are published per emoji and rounded the same way, so a total below 1,000 is exact and a larger one is a sum that may carry a rounded component from each emoji above 1,000. Because it is a sum, it does not look rounded — read a large reaction total as three significant figures per contributing emoji rather than as the figure it prints.

Reaction mix

232 reactions across 37 posts, in 7 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 49.1% of them.

Every reaction kind recorded on the sample, most used first

🔥156.47%
😁83.45%
👀52.16%

No sentiment is inferred, and none should be read in. This table is ordered by count and by nothing else. Emoji do not carry stable meaning across languages or communities — 🙏 is thanks in one channel and mourning in another — so we publish which ones were pressed and how often, and pass no judgement on what an audience meant by them.

Precision. Telegram publishes reaction counts per emoji and short-forms each one — 4.34K, 1.2M — so any single kind at or above 1,000 reaches us at three significant figures, and only counts below 1,000 are exact. The shares above are ratios of those figures and carry the same error. This is also why the total here can differ slightly from a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page: both are sums of the same rounded parts, taken over samples with different edges.

Coverage. Reactions were read on 37 of the 39 sampled posts in this sample. Summed by Telegram’s own count on each post — not by adding up the per-emoji breakdown above — those same posts carry 232 reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.

Measured over the 39 most recent posts we hold, published 20 July 2026 to 2 September 2026, using the newest reading held for each. Telegram Stars are excluded: they are a payment, not a reaction, and they have their own section.

Power up your decision-making with the fifth edition of Shega's policy monitor. It's thinner than usual but packed with consequential changes. Parliament rose on 7 July. It does not sit again until October. No proclamation could pass in August, and none did. Five instruments moved anyway.

The most valuable forecast is one that arrives before the crisis. But it only matters if someone acts on it. Ethiopia has spent years building the machinery for anticipatory action: impact-based forecasting, early-warning triggers and regional response plans. This season, that machinery is producing clear signals. June and July brought rainfall deficits of 40 to 70 percent across much of the country. Drought trigge

Premier Switch Solutions spent nearly a decade and half building part of the infrastructure behind Ethiopia’s card payments. Now rebranded and after securing a POS and payment gateway license from the NBE, it is expanding to the other side of the transaction.

Ethiopia’s EdTech sector is moving faster than the rules designed to govern it. Startups are developing learning platforms, teacher-training tools and school-management systems, but there is still no dedicated approval process for EdTech products. The challenge, as discussed in July’s EdTech Mondays episode, is not simply whether to regulate, but how to do so without slowing useful innovation. Panelists argued for

Ethiopia is trying to do something few aid-dependent states attempt: build a disaster reserve without new donor money. A draft regulation now with the Council of Ministers would create a domestically financed strategic reserve, stockpiling grain from farmers across ten regions, run by needs assessment rather than blanket appeals. It's a real break from a 65-year pattern. USAID has operated in Ethiopia continuously

An Acid Test for Industrial Policy? Ethiopia wants its manufacturers to build the industrial base that cuts import dependence. It also wants them to help fund the country's disaster response as foreign aid dries up. Those two goals just collided. Over 625 chemical manufacturers, producers of detergents, soaps, and paints, are now required to contribute 1% of monthly sales to a new Disaster Risk Response Fund. They

MESOB has expanded from 12 institutions and 41 services to a nationwide digital public-service platform with more than 185 services. But its biggest challenge may not be digitization.

Yet bringing parent institutions onto the platform largely depends on negotiated agreements. That create

Showing the 12 most recent of 39 posts we hold for @shegamediaet. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.

Channels on the register whose posts this channel has forwarded.

Built only from forwarded posts we have actually read, on both sides. Coverage is early and deliberately incomplete: a missing link means we have not read the post that would prove it, never that the relationship does not exist. Counts are distinct forwarded posts observed, so they only ever go up as we read more.

A channel can appear here with an empty list above it, because being named by someone else’s query is independent of having been queried itself.
