#Tigray Orthodox Church ordained episcopates
----
Tigray Orthodox Tewahdo Church the See of Selama Kesate Birhan ordained 6 episcopates in Axum, St. Mary of Zion Church.
Archbishops of the church anointed 6 episcopates from the 10 episcopate-elects who had been elected on Sunday to serve dioceses of the Tigray Orthodox Church in both Tigray and abroad.
Reverend Berhe Tesfameskel, member of the executive of the See, said on Saturday that the ordination of the new episcopates will help faithfuls of the church to worship in their mother tongue.
According to him, Abune Natnael is ordained to serve diocese of Western Tigray. Abune Libanos for Southern Tigray, Abune Enbakom for Southeastern Tigray, Abune Yohannes for Fremnatos Theology College as well as Abune Aregawi to serve as General Secretary for the Office of Archbishops of the Tigray Orthodox Tewahdo Church.
TheSarchbishops have also ordained Abune Atnatiwos to lead diocese of the church in Virginia, United States.
The See of Selama goes on with the ordination ceremony despite opposition from Ethiopia Orthodox Tewahdo Church Synod.
The Synod issued a statement last week denouncing the election last week calling upon the Federal government and the Tigrai Interim Administration to stop the ordination that it said will endanger the unity of the church.
Asked about oppositions from the Ethiopian church and the legality of the See, General Secretary of the See of Selama Reverend Tesfay Hadera said the Tigray Orthodox Church is "in its own business" serving its faithfuls.
"We are legal. Who are they [the Synod] to question our legality? Are they themselves legal?" He asked on Sunday last week.
Ethiopia Orthodox Church however warned it will follow appropriate legal procedures to uphold the interest of the Ethiopia Orthodox Tewahdo Church.
The anointment ceremony that has started Saturday afternoon with prayers is expected to end this noon.

The forces of the Amhara expansionists are still continuing the horrible violence they are inflicting on civilians in the areas they forcibly took over in Southern Tigray.

The #Tigrayan Orthodox Tewahedo Church fathers, in their latest press release in Axum city, have condemned the detainment of Aba Serekebirhan Weldesamuel [by the Ethiopian regime] at Bole Airport. #FreeAbaSerekebirhan

Tigrayan ethnic religious father Qomos Aba Sereqebirhan Weldesamuel, turned his third day since detained at Bole International Airport.

Aba Samuel, who came from Australia to visit his family saying that the country is at peace, is suffering like this without even being told why he was abducted by the security personnel.

The government of Ethiopia, which said to the international community that it has made peace with Tigray and signed a peace agreement, continued its discriminatory treatment of the Tigrayan natives.

#Ethiopia: #Orthodox priest stranded at #Addis_Abeba Airport, says his rights violated by security forces https://t.co/7deofNJLfm

Speaking to Addis Standard by phone from the airport, where he is stranded for the last two days, Aba Serekebirhan expressed his frustrations and called the situation a “violation of his human rights.”

Lawyers have filed complaints on his behalf and obtained a court order for him to appear at a court of law, he said, but security forces did not allow him to leave the airport.

Asked by Addis Standard , Ashenafi Zeray, senior corporate communications officer at the Ethiopian Airlines, said the matter did not concern the Airlines.

Federal police spokesperson, Jeylan Abdi, on his part said that he has no information regarding the stranded priest.

What explains US being part of #TigrayGenocide? From the inception of the war, providing cover for Eritrea's involvement, helping attack Tigrayan forces in Wollo, refusal to recognize the genocide, to using food aid as weapon.

#Tigrayan civilians continue to face a brutal ethnic cleansing campaign by Amhara militias according to @HRW's recent report. The U.S. must take swift and decisive action to sanction those responsible, as I told Secretary Yellen at today’s @FSCDems hearing.
