Editorial standards
TiruList is built by and for the Ethiopian and Eritrean community in the DMV. Our guides are researched and reviewed by the TiruList editorial team, and we hold ourselves to a few clear rules so you can trust what you read.
Who writes and reviews
Our guides are written and reviewed by the TiruList editors, working with community members, business owners, and organizers who live this every day. When a guide touches a specialized area, we defer to the official source rather than our own opinion.
How we source
Facts come from primary, authoritative sources, and we cite them on the page. For money transfers we rely on the National Bank of Ethiopia's licensed list. For immigration and civic topics we point to official government sources. We do not publish figures that change constantly, like live exchange rates, as if they were fixed.
Money and immigration topics
These are the areas where a mistake costs the most, so we treat them with extra care. Our guides here are general information, not financial or legal advice, they cite official sources, and they carry a clear last-updated date. Always confirm your specific situation with a licensed provider or the relevant authority.
Keeping guides current
Every guide shows when it was last updated. We revisit them as rules and services change, and we correct errors quickly. If you spot something that is out of date or wrong, please tell us and we will fix it.
