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.
