Interesting controversy over Axum's "Holy Town" status. When I was US Amb in Ethiopia, then Abuna Paulos told me he would only allow mosques in Axum if Saudis allowed Ethiopian Orthodox churches in Mecca. Ethiopian Federal Govt smart to stay out of this!

@TiborPNagyJr Among the countries in the Horn of Africa and East Africa, Uganda is one of the few places where people from many different countries can live and do business peacefully. Now, some people are trying to disturb that peace. Shame on those who seek to undermine a peaceful country.
