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 the other topics.

39 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 47 pages of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 39 posts for this entry, the most recent from 2 September 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
232 reactions across 37 posts, in 7 distinct kinds. The most used accounts for 49.1% of them.
| Reaction | Count | Share | Share, drawn |
|---|---|---|---|
| ❤ | 114 | 49.1% | |
| 👍 | 70 | 30.2% | |

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. A 112-article rewrite of how Addis Ababa procures, against a 502.27 billion birr budget. A central register of who actually owns…

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. Its SoftPOS product, PSS Pay, turns Android phones into card acceptance devices, targeting one of Ethiopia’s persistent digital-payment gaps: millions of digi…

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…

Issue 253: Central Shudders A week of institutional shifts, regulatory changes and emerging risks in Ethiopia: 🏦 Insurance regulation is being rewritten. ☪️ Interest-free banking is getting a new central oversight structure. 💳 One of the architects of Ethiopia’s payments overhaul is leaving NBE. 🌾 The country is preparing for a future of shrinking aid. 🌧 El Niño brings a fresh threat to agriculture. 🛢 Dangote…
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 …

Ethiopia’s banks are being asked to process more payments, across more rails, with systems that were often built for a different era. ProgressSoft is betting banks will pay for better routing, monitoring and dispute workflows as payment systems become more complex. Symbol Technologies is targeting merchant acceptance with a SoftPOS technology that turns Android phones into payment-acceptance devices, potentially lo…

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. It is likely institutional power. MESOB is mandated to oversee frontline staff, handle complaints, and monitor service delivery. 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.
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 41 seed channels' Telegram-generated recommendation lists in total, of which the 24 where it ranks highest are shown above. Each is Telegram’s list for THAT channel, not this one — see how this is measured.
