So "100k" figure being cited likely includes e-motorcycles, e-buses, and three-wheelers and I still believe that data is way off. Also, the confusion is between government projection plan( 150k by 20230) and actual number. Ethiopia Energy Outlook Report - 2025 estimates puts it at 15K early 2025 for "person cars". Here is a draft Infographics by @shegamedia reviewing some of this key numbers.

@anteneh Which source do you trust? I agree the data are confusing: energyforgrowth.org/article/ethiop… Ethiopia's Ministry of Transport claims 100K but i'm not sure if that's 2 or 4-wheelers motl.gov.et

This is why Ethiopia banned imports of fossil-fueled cars in 2024 and has put over 110,000 EVs on its roads since the 2022 oil shock. Transport can't go electric fast enough.

GERD was never the whole Blue Nile story. The book shows GERD as the old “Border Dam” in a four-site Blue Nile chain alongside Karadobi, Mabil, and Mendaia. Karadobi was envisioned as the giant of the system, Mabil as a geologically feasible canyon site below the Birr junction, and Mendaia site below the Didessa junction. This was not a random dream. The book traces it back to the huge 1964 U.S.- Ethiopia Blue Nile study, an eight-volume program with helicopter reconnaissance, gauges, and years of fieldwork.

New in Claude Code: auto mode. Instead of approving every file write and bash command, or skipping permissions entirely, auto mode lets Claude make permission decisions on your behalf. Safeguards check each action before it runs.

Spot on.

I got our COO to Claude last week. Now, when I asked a scope for management dashboard he wish to have for 2026, he is sending me a well built HTML prototype with an actual company context. It’s over guys. English language and structured thinking is what you need.

@alemayehuGeda @Coinvo Even worse. Quite a framing and attitude. May be the government should also nationalize all other lucrative industries that private sector is engaged.

@anteneh @Coinvo Vultures, it says.

CRAZY: 🇪🇹 In Ethiopia, it costs just $2,000 to mine 1 $BTC!

@alemayehuGeda @Coinvo Losing to private ventures ?

@Coinvo About $20,000,not $2000, I guess . Still hugely profitable (about 45+% profit for such firms) . Prevously the country/ govt was losing to private vultures ( including Eth diaspora facilitators & Chinese, Russian, UAE Cos). Now (2026) it has woke up & begun to engage itself.

@abbasshash @ec0n1st @frectonz @Shegahq Thanks. That’s has been the vision from day 1. Brick by brick.

@anteneh @ec0n1st @frectonz @Shegahq OK. Looks like Sheger is becoming bloomberg or something like that. 👏

#Ethiopia #EIH Do you want to access and visualize public audit data from enterprises operating under Ethiopian Investment Holdings (EIH)? Then please visit audit.et and contact @frectonz for more details.

@ec0n1st @frectonz @Shegahq Great. DM you email, we will onboard you.

Wow, this one looks really good and was something missing in our data landscape (which is pretty much non existent :)) . I use tracxn.com for work and always wished something like that focused on Ethiopia. I was wondering who could fill this. Would love to explore further.

@ec0n1st @frectonz @Shegahq The DFS one is an open data initiative. The one I am referring is insights.shega.co . Currently on soft launch, happy to send access your way if you want to play around and provide feedback.

@anteneh @frectonz @Shegahq The one with DFS, or did you launch another one?

When I watch Ethiopian politics descend into hostility and keep testing a new low, I think it’s good to remember a moment from 17th Century and what Ethiopian thinker Zera Yacob said. The Portuguese Jesuit priest Afonso Mendes arrived in Ethiopia in 1625. Within a year, Emperor Susenyos converted to Catholicism and declared it the state religion. What followed was civil war. The attempt to impose one theological interpretation over an another fractured the country. Blood was shed. Stability collapsed. It only ended when Susenyos’ son, Fasilides, reversed the decree and expelled Mendes and the Jesuits, restoring religious equilibrium. Amid that turmoil, Zera Yacob taught something strikingly simple: “I did not say, ‘this interpretation is good’ or ‘that interpretation is bad.’ Rather, I said, ‘all of these interpretations are good if we ourselves are good.’” The crisis was not interpretation. It was intolerance. The problem is rarely difference. It is the loss of restraint, humility, and mutual regard.

NBE offered $500M in today’s FX auction. Auction undersubscribed by $44.71M. What does this signal? • Adequate FX liquidity? • Weak import demand? • Birr liquidity constraints? • Less Rate expectations ?

The climate in Addis was really temperate and hospitable when I visited last winter. That plus its hot springs, lots of international flights, and the mountainous terrain nearby could make it into a comfortable travel destination if by some miracle they reach middle-income status

Addismaxxing is a thing now ?
