25 posts held, back to 20 July 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 16 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.

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.
130 reactions across 24 posts, in 5 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 46.9% of them.
| Reaction | Count | Share | Share, drawn |
|---|---|---|---|
| ❤ | 61 | 46.9% | |
| 👍 | 41 | 31.5% | |
| 👎 | 14 | 10.8% | |
| 🔥 | 13 | 10.0% | |

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 24 of the 25 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 130reactions in total: the kind of figure the paragraph above means by “a reaction total printed elsewhere on the page”.
Measured over the 25 most recent posts we hold, published 20 July 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.
Issue 251 of Shega Weekly, “Official Carousels,” is here. A week of institutional resets, and a question running beneath them: when Ethiopia rewrites the rules, what actually changes? This week: • 🛡 New cybersecurity requirements for critical infrastructure • 📈 ESX founding CEO Tilahun Esmael Kassahun steps down • 🏛 Addis Ababa moves to rewrite its procurement rules • 💳 CNETPay receives an NBE payment operator lice…

Ethiopia is preparing to rewrite three of its core intellectual property laws, some of which were drafted before smartphones, mobile money and the digital economy existed. The reforms are overdue. But the more interesting question is whether outdated legislation is actually the main constraint on innovation. Founders often point to something harder to legislate: weak enforcement. Rights may exist on paper, but if i…

The Ethiopian Bankers Association’s Credit Committee spent 41 pages arguing manufacturers are not being denied credit. Yet NBE data shows manufacturing at just 16.2% of lending, while trade takes 41.5%. Both can be true. The Committee points to a one-off accounting shift at CBE and real issues, weak studies, borrowed equity, and misused loans. It even admits credit officers reject viable projects they don’t unders…

Ethiopia’s telecom sector has crossed a quiet but decisive threshold. For the first time, mobile data and internet revenue (31.1%) have overtaken voice (23.5%) at Ethio telecom. It is a structural shift, not a seasonal one. Behind the numbers is a deeper transformation: 4G now reaches 1,200 cities, 5G spans 33, and a 23,000 km fiber backbone is reshaping access. Smartphones, fintech, and public digital infrastructu…

A 502 billion Birr budget that has grown several-fold over the past few years, is now confronting procurement systems that auditors say are already strained. Nearly 2 billion Birr in uncollected receivables. Documented violations. Gaps in oversight. A new draft directive aims to fix this with six major shifts: splitting procurement authority, devolving discretion, raising tender thresholds, introducing leasing, ena…

Techurate Systems has unveiled an AI-native platform built around task-specific agents, promising to compress product deployment timelines from years to weeks. From onboarding to credit scoring and fraud detection, the model unbundles core banking functions into modular intelligence layers. The pitch lands at a moment when digital payments infrastructure is rapidly being deployed across Ethiopia. The question is n…

EdTech can reshape learning, but in Ethiopia its impact remains uneven. At June’s EdTech Mondays, the key message was clear. The constraint is not devices, but readiness. Teachers come first. Without the ability to adapt tools for diverse classrooms, especially for students with disabilities, technology risks reinforcing exclusion. Access gaps persist. Connectivity remains uneven and often unaffordable, while poli…

Issue 250 of Shega Weekly, “Phantom Triumphs,” is here. A quiet milestone for us and a week that reflects it. Less about breakthroughs, more about what sits beneath them. This week: • ⛽️ OLA–TotalEnergies deal faces regulatory scrutiny • ✈️ Bishoftu airport bid delayed as USD 9bn financing is arranged • ⚖️ Hulu Sport wins in court, but remains shut • ⛏️ USD 4bn mining deal collapses amid regulatory and geopolitica…

A cold July morning, 264 bidders, and a clear signal: Addis Ababa’s latest commercial auction appears peculiar. Demand clustered hard. Three shops in Bisrate Gebriel drew over a third of all bidders, with prices diverging sharply even for identical units. Meanwhile, 67 units in Sidist Kilo, 85% of the auction by count, received not a single offer. This is bid rent theory in practice. Location still dictates value.…

If you invest, operate, advise, or build in Ethiopia, July 2026 brought quieter but structural policy shifts. Shega’s fourth Policy Monitor tracks what changed: • NBE has largely shifted to an interest-rate-based framework, but with credit still growing above 45%, transmission is the real test • University leadership is being restructured with competitive selection, 40% strategy weighting, and fixed six-year terms…

A Century-Old Name Enters a New Market: Bank of Abyssinia Lists on the ESX Every listing is a statement of belief in the future. On July 28, 2026, Bank of Abyssinia made that statement by joining the Ethiopian Securities Exchange under the ticker BOAX, marking another step in the country’s evolving capital market. The move opens the bank’s ownership to a broader investing public while reinforcing its role in financ…

A 10 birr note now costs roughly 6 US cents to produce and is worth about 6 US cents to spend. That arithmetic is part of the reason National Bank of Ethiopia has all but stopped printing it, and why kiosk owners in Addis Ababa spend part of every day taping ragged notes back together rather than refusing them. Shega traces how currency redesign, a falling birr, and thin foreign reserves converged to make Ethiopia…

Showing the 12 most recent of 25 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.
Citation-graph rank — 236,537 of 1,340,412entries 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.

Republishes
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.
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 5 seed channels' Telegram-generated recommendation lists in total. Each is Telegram’s list for THAT channel, not this one — see how this is measured.
