(Sep. 30, 2026) Mereja TV will hold a worldwide online symposium on Ethiopia’s current affairs on Saturday, October 24, 2026. The live program runs from 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Eastern Time. Viewers can watch on the Mereja TV satellite channel and online on YouTube, X, Facebook, TikTok, Rumble and Mereja.com.
The wars in Amhara and Tigray top the agenda. Families in both regions live with fighting and displacement. Basic services remain disrupted. Organizers set aside six hours so speakers can discuss the conflicts in detail.
The first session covers war and security. Speakers will discuss the fighting in Amhara and Tigray and what it means for civilians. The second session covers politics, power and a possible transition of power. The third looks at the economy and daily livelihoods, including prices, work and the cost of running a household during a long conflict. The fourth covers diplomacy and the Horn of Africa. It will look at how neighbors, partners and outside talks affect the wars at home.
Panelists will bring different experiences to those topics. Mereja TV will announce names after the guest list is finalized.
