Negarit: Ethiopia & Horn News

About Negarit: Ethiopia & Horn News

Negarit brings Ethiopian news into one calm, organised feed — in English and Amharic, with a transparency layer most news apps don't bother with.

We pull articles from 35+ sources covering Ethiopia, Tigray, Eritrea, and the wider Horn of Africa, deduplicate them, classify them, and tag each one with its source's orientation so you can see who is saying what — not just what's being said.

▸ TODAY'S BRIEF
A short, AI-written paragraph each day that summarises the top developments per language and topic. No doomscrolling required.

▸ STORY TIMELINES
When a story develops over days or weeks, Negarit groups every related article into a single timeline so you can scroll the arc from the first report to the latest update.

▸ EXPLAIN & OTHER SIDE
Two AI assistants on every article:
• "Explain" — a plain-language summary for stories that assume too much background.
• "Other side" — a steelman of the opposing position, so you see the strongest version of the counter-argument.

▸ KEY CLAIMS & FACT-CHECKS
Every article is scanned for its core factual claims. When one has a matching fact-check from an independent fact-checking organisation, we show it inline — tap through to read it yourself.

▸ EXCHANGE RATES
Live birr buy/sell rates for major currencies, right in the app — the same board hahupost.com's website shows, built for a quick daily check.

▸ TRANSPARENCY REPORT
A monthly report showing which sources we pulled from, which we flagged, and which stories were corrected after fact-checking.

▸ MULTI-SOURCE COVERAGE
Ethiopian & regional: The Reporter, Addis Standard, Fana, Borkena, Capital Ethiopia, Addis Fortune, EthioForum, Walta, and more.
International & diaspora: BBC Amharic, BBC Tigrinya, VOA Amharic, DW Amharic, Al Jazeera, CNN Africa, The Guardian, and more — wire coverage for stories that affect the region.

We don't track who you are personally. Sign-in is anonymous by default. We never sell your data. Crashlytics and Google AdMob are the only third-party SDKs that see device info — used for crash reporting and ads, nothing else.
