89 posts held, back to 5 August 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 17 pagesof Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
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 6 of 89 measured posts that carry a reaction reading, and over those same posts' views.

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.
Lifetime counters from Telegram’s own channel header, read 13 August 2026 — not the date at the top of this page, which is when the subscriber count was last read. A count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints these counters in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈142,000 means somewhere between 141,500 and 142,499.
Measured directly from 8 videos with a duration reading, out of the posts we hold for this channel — not this channel’s whole posting history, only the sample this register has actually read. An exact reading to the second, taken from the post itself rather than from Telegram’s own rounded chrome, so it carries no ≈ mark.
4 reactions across 4 posts, in 2 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 75.0% of them.
| Reaction | Count | Share | Share, drawn |
|---|---|---|---|
| 👍 | 3 | 75.0% | |
| 🤔 | 1 | 25.0% |
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 6 of the 89 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 4reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 89 most recent posts we hold, published 5 August 2026 to 12 August 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.
The cost of going digital, mandatory, lands on the user. According to research, a basic phone costs about 35pc of average monthly household income and a smartphone about 97pc. An IFPRI study found married rural men are about five times more likely to own a phone than their wives. #Digital #Government #Ethiopia Read more - https://shorturl.at/MUUZh
The "Digital Ethiopia 2030" strategy document puts Ethiopia’s entire population at 130 million. Taken at face value, almost one mobile-money account for every Ethiopian, including infants and people without phones, despite persistent rural, literacy and connectivity gaps. However, one person may hold accounts with Telebirr, M-Pesa and other providers; dormant accounts remain counted; and multiple SIMs can generate mu…
Legal cigarette sales were 278 million packs in 2019 but fell by 39pc to 168 million in 2020, after the mixed excise regime took effect that February, and dropped by another 15pc in 2021. A partial recovery reached only 187 million packs by 2023. After the fixed tax went up to 20 Br a pack in June 2024, sales fell again, on course for about 91 million packs in 2025, around two-thirds below 2019. #Tobacco #Tax #Public…
Anbesa Bank's latest directors' votes closed a feud the regulator judged dangerous. After shareholder complaints and a special investigation, the NBE found that disagreements among directors had undermined the Board and threatened the Bank's stability and its depositors. The dispute had grown out of the Bank's capital increase and the entry of new shareholders. Senior NBE directors supervised the entire election. #Ba…

Beneath the flat average, the movement was lopsided last week. Nearly three-fifths of the week's adjustment came in a single overnight step between August 3 and August 4, 2026, when average buying jumped about 10 cents. After that, daily increases shrank to two cents or less, a handful of banks revising their rates while much of the market sat still. The calm was less a shared consensus than a scattering of separate …

Ethiopian Shipping & Logistics confirms the pressure is also felt at sea. According to shipping-sector executive Tefera Kassa, bunker fuel costs quadrupled, and Djibouti's designation as a war-risk area triggered mandatory war-risk insurance. The state Enterprise moved 7.04 million tonnes of cargo in the year ended July 7, 2026, and posted 157.2 billion Br in revenue, with gross profit of 28.2 billion Br, "absorbing …
The core issue for the Ethiopian Electric Utility (EEU) is a tariff among the lowest in the world. According to its CEO, Getu Geremew, generating one kilowatt-hour of energy costs between 6.5 and seven US cents, yet it is sold for less than two US cents. Nearly two million low-income customers using under 50kWh pay only half of what EEU itself pays the power company, a subsidy the Utility carries even as its buying c…
Converting 1,600 intercity buses is a vast undertaking, a transport-and-energy expert warned. Buses carrying 30, 40 or 60 passengers have different power needs. Operators with 15 to 20 buses may need dedicated substations, and rolling out all 1,600 at once could overload the grid, arguing for a phased approach of about 200 buses an operator. Some routes run 600 to 700Km and would need charging mid-journey, while corr…
Ethiopia Hotel belongs to BK Group, the conglomerate of the family of Belayneh Kindie, who moved from the grain trade into exporting sesame and coffee. The Group acquired the Hotel from the former Ethiopian Privatisation Agency in 2010 for 94 million Br and has planned an expansion ever since. With more than 5,000 employees and 22 companies across seven cities, it is now acting on it, replacing the 4,000Sqm hotel wit…
Showing the 12 most recent of 89 posts we hold for @addisfortune. 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.
Citation-graph rank — 290,026 of 1,169,250entries in the measured graph. A weighted position computed from the forward and mention edges below — republished posts weigh more than named mentions — and recomputed periodically, over the whole graph. Published only as this ordinal position, never as a score: a position is a fact, and a score printed beside one channel’s name would read as a verdict this register does not make. The two counts beneath stay separate for the same reason mentions are never summed with forwards anywhere else on this page — a named-by count costs nothing to manufacture. The top 100 by this measure, or how it is computed.
Republished by
Channels on the register that have forwarded this channel's posts into their own feed.
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.
Named by 1 registered channel — every channel on the register whose own posts have named this one, by its current username or any other username it currently holds, merged from two separately captured readings of the same fact so a namer caught by only one of them is not missed and a namer both caught is not counted twice. A username this channel has since dropped is not matched — that handle may belong to someone else now, and crediting today’s namer to yesterday’s owner would misattribute it.
Named by
Channels on the register whose posts name this channel's handle.
A mention is a weaker signal than a forward and is counted separately for that reason — naming a channel is not republishing it, and a handle in a post body is easy to place deliberately. The post counts beside each row below are distinct posts in which the handle appeared, from posts we have read on both sides — the “Named by N registered channels” figure above is a different count, of distinct NAMING CHANNELS rather than posts, and is not the sum of the rows under it.
The reverse of the list above, and a different kind of signal. This does not require this channel to have ever been asked about directly — each row below is a channel we DID ask Telegram about, whose Telegram-generated list happened to include this one. 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.
This channel appears in 1 seed channel's Telegram-generated recommendation list in total. Each is Telegram’s list for THAT channel, not this one — see how this is measured.
