Engagement
A typical post picks up 32 interactions against 476K followers, an engagement rate of 0.007%. Measured over 60 original posts, its engagement rate beats 26% of 3,774 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 7.8K times each, and 0.413% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 1.63% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 27% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Friday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 60 posts sampled, 98% carry an image or video and 65% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 203 interactions, about 6.3x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #ethiopia, #tigray, #sudan.

Compared with accounts its own size
Addis Standard's engagement rate beats 26% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 7 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.
On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 29% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.
Where this sits in the catalog
At 0.007%, Addis Standard sits above the 10th percentile of the 36,654 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.012%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 13:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

News: #World_Bank_supported school #ICT center destroyed in latest #drone_strike in #Tigray A secondary school in Saharty Woreda, Tigray, has been hit by a drone strike that destroyed an ICT facility equipped with 35 computers installed this year through the World Bank-supported 3R program, according to Kiros Guesh (PhD), head of the Tigray Education Bureau. “Drone strikes by Federal Government of Ethiopia hit a secondary school in Tigray at Saharty Woreda, destroying ICT facilities with 35 computers installed this year by the World Bank supported 3R program,” Kiros said. The latest destruction of a school adds another layer to an education system that the Tigray Education Bureau earlier has warned is already struggling to recover from the devastating consequences of the war. “Serving 500+ students since 1999 E.C., this vital hub now lies in ruins,” Kiros said. https://t.co/2QMX6E2efc

The bureau said the Tigray government has consistently advocated dialogue as the only viable means of resolving political differences and maintaining peace and stability in #Ethiopia and the wider region.

#Arsi University updates logo, puts #Afaan_Oromo first Arsi University has announced an update to its institutional logo on 23 August, placing Afaan Oromo first in the order of languages displayed on the emblem. The university said it had made “slight modifications” to its former logo and instructed stakeholders to recognize and use the updated version. Under the revised design, the language order is Afaan Oromo first, Amharic second and English third. The university also corrected the Afaan Oromo inscription from “Yunivarsitii Arsii” to “Yuunivarsitii Arsii.” “The University is pleased to inform all stakeholders to recognize and use the new logo in accordance with the captions order stated above,” the announcement said. Located in #Assela, the capital of the Arsi Zone in the Oromia Regional State, Arsi University also operates extended campuses serving students in different parts of the zone. The updated emblem retains the university’s core visual elements, including the agricultural sheaves, gears, triangular structure, globe and open book, while changing the placement and spelling of the language captions.

Update: #Tigray Education Chief sheds more light on destruction of a primary school in latest #drone strike Tigray’s education chief Kiros Guesh (PhD) has provided further details on the reported drone strike that destroyed Abraha Weatsbaha Primary School in Kilte-Awlaelo district in the night hours of Thursday. Kiros said the overnight strike targeted the school, describing it as “yet another attack on educational infrastructure.” The drone strike marks the latest in a series of attacks reportedly carried out by the federal government against sites across Tigray Regional State. However, the federal government has not publicly commented on any of the reported attacks. In a post published on his Facebook page late Thursday, Kiros said the facility had recently been expanded with new classrooms built by Plan International Ethiopia for early childhood care and development, with support from the European Union. The education chief also highlighted the school’s significance to the local community, pointing to a joint delegation visit on 5 March 2025 led by EU Ambassador Sofie From-Emmesberger and involving senior representatives of UNICEF, Plan International, Save the Children and the World Food Program. Photographs shared by Kiros show the school’s blue-and-white classroom blocks and the delegation visiting the facility. The images include EU and humanitarian officials, as well as local representatives, gathered at the school during the 2025 visit. Neither Ethiopia’s federal government nor the federal Ministry of Education had commented on the reported strike as of publication.

#Ashenda celebrations continue in various parts of #Tigray, including #Eritrean border, as #Mekelle festival canceled over drone fears While Tigray authorities canceled the main Ashenda festival gathering in Mekelle over fears of drone attacks, Tigrayan women and girls in various parts of the region, including along the Eritrean border, are continuing to mark the festivities. In the border area between Tigray and Eritrea, the celebrations brought together residents of Tigray and Eritreans from the neighboring Senafe sub-zone. Residents of Gulomakeda Woreda and Zalambessa town joined Eritreans from Ambesete Geleba, Serha, Embab Dhan, Kokobay, Endashim, Shimzana and other parts of Senafe for the celebration in Zalambessa, according to a Dimtsi Woyane broadcast. Speaking at the event today, Eastern Zone Deputy Administrator Hailay Gebremariam said ongoing engagement between Tigrayans and Eritreans should serve peace, development and security for communities on both sides of the border. He said the two peoples share a common history, culture and heritage and have interconnected futures. Participants quoted by the broadcast said communities on both sides had paid a heavy price for political tensions and called for deepening the emerging peace process and expanding cooperation. The border-area celebrations contrasted sharply with developments in Mekelle, where regional authorities on Thursday canceled the main Ashenda gathering scheduled for Saturday. The event, traditionally attended by thousands of young women and girls dressed in traditional finery, was called off over concerns that it could be targeted in drone attacks following a series of strikes in the region. The latest, on Wednesday, reportedly injured at least 14 civilians. Ashenda celebrations are nevertheless continuing in various parts of Tigray through smaller local gatherings, keeping alive the annual festival that celebrates women and is associated with the Virgin Mary.

- What is Addis Standard's engagement rate on X?
- Addis Standard (@addisstandard) has an engagement rate of 0.007%, based on the median interactions across 60 original posts from the last 30 days against 475,799 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.007%, Addis Standard sits above the 10th percentile of the 36,654 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
- Does @addisstandard have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 26% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
- When does @addisstandard post?
- Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Friday is its busiest day, at roughly 2 posts per day across the measured window.
