🙏 Please pray for Ethiopia’s Orthodox Christians.
The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church’s Holy Synod reports that about 60 Orthodox Christians were killed in attacks between October 20 and 24, 2026, in the Arsi Zone (Southeast Oromia), mostly in the Shirka and Merti districts (14 in Merti on Oct. 20; 46 in Shirka areas on Oct. 24).

At least 94 Ethiopian 🇪🇹 Orthodox Christians have been killed in series of targeted attacks in Ethiopia's Oromia region between late October and early November 2026.
I’ve not seen anything on Main Stream ‘News’. Nothing.🤷♀️

ETHIOPIAN ORTHODOX CHRISTIANS UNDER ATTACK
At least 94 Ethiopian Orthodox Christians have been killed in three attacks in less than three weeks in Ethiopia’s Oromia region.
The attacks occurred in Merti and Shirka districts on October 20 and 24, killing at least 60, followed by another 34 deaths in Endato village, Robe district.
The Ethiopian Human Rights Commission attributed the earlier attacks to the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA), an armed Oromo nationalist movement. The OLA has denied targeting civilians.
While the conflict is rooted in ethnic and political struggles, growing violence against Orthodox Christian communities raises serious concerns about religiously targeted persecution.
The Ethiopian Orthodox Church, representing more than 30 million followers, is calling for urgent protection of its worshippers.
At least 94 lives lost. Christian communities remain at risk. The world must not look away.
34 more Christian bodies were discovered in Robe Woreda just 11 days after the Shirka massacre of 45+ Orthodox believers. Silence enables the next atrocity.
Another 34 Orthodox Christians have been slaughtered in Arsi, bringing the death toll to more than 100 in just ONE WEEK.
🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️
How many more innocent lives must be buried before the world stops looking away and demands justice?

At least 34 Orthodox Christians were massacred in Ethiopia (it's about 94 in under three weeks in Arsi alone).
Try finding this news on any big western network tonight.
#Ethiopia: Following a new attack by militants in Robe Woreda, East Arsi Zone of the Oromia region, a week after the deadly massacre that killed 60+ Christians, several civilians were killed on November 5, and the bodies of 34 Christians were recovered.
Mr. Fitzell, Ethiopia remains one of the world's poorest and most fragile countries, devastated by years of large-scale warfare, mass displacement, hunger, and the destruction of essential infrastructure. Millions struggle with inadequate access to clean water, electricity, healthcare, and education. Doctors and teachers struggle to feed their own families, while hospitals and schools face desperate shortages. Against this backdrop, reports of the acquisition of 12 Russian Su-35 fighter jets and plans for four S-400 air defence systems are simply astonishing. Meanwhile, the government promotes glittering corridors resembling Dubai, projects that appear to serve a privileged political elite while much of Ethiopia's population, approaching 130 million, struggles with poverty.
The multibillion-dollar #Chaka Palace project raises equally serious questions about national priorities, public expenditure, and accountability. Ireland, Denmark, the United States, the United Kingdom, and other development partners have supported Ethiopia's people for decades. Their taxpayers deserve transparency about how international assistance interacts with a government budget that also finances sophisticated weaponry and prestige projects. Humanitarian assistance must continue reaching vulnerable civilians, but military procurement and extravagant public spending deserve rigorous scrutiny. The contrast between these priorities and the suffering of ordinary Ethiopians is morally staggering.

At least 60 Orthodox Christians have been killed in two attacks in Ethiopia’s Oromia region, the Ethiopian Orthodox Church has said.
More than 20 people were seriously injured and about 20 homes were burned. The church has urged the government to protect civilians and prosecute those responsible.
Who carried out the attacks is still disputed, against a backdrop of ongoing insecurity in the area.
The whole world lies under the sway of the evil one.
The Ethiopian child, who may not speak very well yet and still leans on his mother’s arm when he walks, was killed in cold blood because he was wearing a cross around his neck...
And because his family is Ethiopian Orthodox.
Dozens have been killed this week in the Oromia Region, and no one intervenes to stop the massacres, no one shows sympathy, and no one speaks out.
Criminal militias and a complicit government.
And innocent victims...
But the image of this child will continue to rebuke the consciences that have fallen asleep and condemn the mouths that remained silent.
God is present.
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony.
