As I’ve mentioned before, me and https://t.me/type_habesha are working on a paper studying the effects typefaces have on political perception. A major part of the paper is the survey results, so we’ve prepared an anonymous survey with both English and Amharic variants showcasing different types of Ethiopic fonts.

We’d really appreciate it if you could fill out both survey forms, in Amharic and English. The survey will remain open for months to come, so it would be a huge help if you could share it with as many people as possible, especially people from diverse backgrounds. Thank you all in advance! 💕🌷

And on another note, I want to give a huge thanks to https://t.me/Dagmawi_Babi and the https://t.me/scholarxiv team for taking on the specific survey format we wanted. They were incredibly happy and excited to help out, and they did a splendid job bringing the survey to life. ❤️

Its fully Confirmed now That Anthropic is adding Ethiopia to Supported Countries List!!!

Its rolling from Claude code first!

March 6, 2026, marked the end of my journey at Sidama Bank. Looking back, my stay there was such an adventure. There were ups and downs, good days and bad days, celebrations and frustrations.

When I first joined, I was a noob at a lot of things. One of them was navigating a corporate setting properly, but I learned so much about how to interact with people. The bank helped me gain a lot of knowledge. Both technical and personal. And I never hesitated to give back by helping with whatever skills I learnt. I helped crimp cables, setups computers, printers and ATMs, did a little php / js, made graphics for print and social media, traveled to many places within the Sidama region to provide tech support at our branches.

I also met some of the most amazing people there. I will never forget Alex's humor in the face of difficulty(ማጌሺዎ? 😅 ), Francis' calmness, Abeni's patience, Wonde's vision, Zinu's prayers, Mesge's painstaking, Liyu's mediation, Tefe's advices, Luwa's cooperation, Takie and Haile's hardwork,  Mulatu's curiosity, Sami's speed, Debre's punctuality, Yoni's attention to detail, Ato Sato's care, and Ato Tadesse's leadership. I can't mention everyone here, but please know ያለኝ ፍቅር ነው።

On that day, the staff at Hawassa called a surprise gathering to say goodbye to me and a few others. Because it was a surprise, I was a bit nervous and not ready to give a speech, but it went well. It was such a wholesome moment. They gave us gifts, took photos and ate bread together.

Thank you all for everything.

On to the next assignment!

ምድራዊ ምኞት

የአስቆሮቱ ይሁዳ ታሪክ በመጽሐፍ ቅዱስ ውስጥ እጅግ አሳዛኝና ግራ የሚያጋባ ታሪክ ነው። እርሱ ገና ከመጀመሪያው የኢየሱስ ጠላት አልነበረም፤ ይልቁንም ከተመረጡትና የጌታን የቅርብ ምስጢር ከሚያውቁት አሥራ ሁለቱ አንዱ ነበር። ከኢየሱስ ጋር አብሮ ተጉዟል፣ በሽተኞች ሲፈወሱ አይቷል፣ እርሱ ራሱም በኢየሱስ ስም ተአምራትን አድርጎ ሊሆን ይችላል። ነገር ግን እግሮቹ ኢየሱስን ቢከተሉም፣ ልቡ ግን በራሱ ምኞት የታሰረ ነበር።

የይሁዳ ሕይወት በሥነ-መለኮት ትልቅ ክርክር የሚያስነሳው “ኢየሱስ አሳልፎ እንደሚሰጠው እያወቀ ለምን መረጠው?” በሚለው ነጥብ ላይ ነው። ይህ የሚያሳየን የእግዚአብሔርን አስቀድሞ ማወቅና የሰውን የመምረጥ ነፃነት (Free Will) ነው። ይሁዳ በግድ እንዲከዳ አልተገደደም፤ ይልቁንም በውስጡ ለነበረው ስግብግብነትና አለማመኑ በር ከፈተ።

በአገልግሎት ውስጥ መሳተፍ፣ በመንፈሳዊ ሰዎች መከበብና ስለ እምነት እያወሩ ፤ ነገር ግን በልብ ውስጥ ከመንፈሳዊ ሕይወት መራቅ ይቻላል። ይሁዳ ከብርሃኑ ምንጭ ጋር አብሮ እየኖረ፣ በውስጡ ያለውን ጨለማ እንዲያሸንፈው ፈቀደ።

እግዚአብሔር ከእርሱ ጋራ ያለን እየመሰለን ነገር ግን በራሳችን፣ በስጋችን ምኞት ታልለን እርሱን ከመከተል እንዳንርቅ ይጠብቀን።

Nuhamin Teferi has released a wonderful album titled ልቀህ ታይ (Be Seen Lifted High). Here is my review of the tracks.

She opens the album with "አባት አለኝ" an upbeat starter highlighting Psalm 23. In Track 2, she dives straight into the Gospel, praising Jesus for His love, washing away our sins, and making us priests for the Father, as sung in Revelation 1:5. Next is the title track, "ልቀህ ታይ" which seems to draw from John 3:30 "He must increase, but I must decrease" and 2nd Cor. 4:7 "We have this treasure in jars of clay"). She narrates the song with a powerful message: You saved me by Your mercy, made me a priest (repeating the theme from Track 2), and chose me to serve. The gist of it is: "I don’t deserve the glory; You do."

Then comes Track 4, "የእግዚአብሔር ልጅ" (The Son of God). It references Matthew 16:14, and it notes how many mistake Him for just a prophet, but she holds onto the Father's testimony: "እርሱን ስሙት" (Listen to Him).

Aaaaaand here's my favorite, a prayer and confession song titled "እስቲ ወደማን." It begins with a sweet, ሃገርኛ piano run. The lyrics ask, "Where can we go from You? We will follow You, Jesus, looking neither left nor right. We won’t pick up what we threw away, and we won’t return to our old ways."

I personally have a reservation regarding such declaration songs, tho. How does a vocal promise assure our future actions? የአፍ ብቻ ከሆነ ምን ጥቅም? We should perhaps pray for the grace to keep following Him instead. But still, it is good as long as it is sung with a humble posture, as she says, "በአንተ እንኖራለን" (In You we live). This leads into Track 6, "ነፍሴ ታከብርሃለች," in which she sings "I couldn't have done anything without You. So, I give You glory for everything in my life."

Track 7: "መሐሪነትህ," is a calm song with a the 60's Tizita-inspired melody, praising God’s mercy.

Track 8 is the viral one: "ስላልፈቀድክልኝ አመሰግናለሁ." She is grateful that God did not allow stuff and did not give her everything she wanted, but only what she needed. These lines sum it up perfectly:
"መከልከል በጊዜው ደስ ባያሰኝም
በጉዳት ከሚፈስ እንባ ግን አይበልጥም"

Track 9: "ለእኔ ሕይወት," sets Philippians 1:21 to a melody. The 10th track is called "አንድ ነን," where she sings for unity; in this divisive climate, we truly need this.

Track 11: "ማራናታ," reminds us that whatever we are going through, Jesus’ second coming is our hope, joy, and strength. Set in the Ambasel scale, its "incomplete" feel was likely chosen to show the "longing for His return." I wish this one was the closing song.

Track 12: "አዲሱ መንገድ" (The New Way), sums up the Gospel. She is doubling down on this theme, which is really nice.

Finally, Track 13: "በቸርነቱ," gives off "New Year" vibes. With lines like "ያንን ሁሉ ያሻገረን", "በቸርነቱ ዘመናት ለሚያቀዳጀው" and its Anchihoye mode, this song is definitely one for Meskerem ፩! 🤭

The fresh look on the motion graphics is a bonus. The lyrics, the tunes and arrangements and everything show how much time and effort the team put on these songs. Lets go show some love and support.

Telegram suddenly decided to delete a few of my bots. I can't even 'revive' them with the same @ username. አይ ጊዜ 😭

Later I came to the conclusion that, it was probably due to telegram allowing me to create a lot of bots, even beyond the number of bots an account is allowed to create. And they then woke up and chose violence. ይመቻቸው ለማንኛውም 🤭
