HRF condemns Ethiopia’s sham June 1 general elections, which crowned dictator Abiy Ahmed and his Prosperity Party with a landslide victory following an electoral process void of genuine democratic competition and discredited by opposition boycotts, political repression, the exclusion of significant parts of the electorate, and a campaigning overwhelmingly skewed in favor of the incumbent.

Prince Asfa Wossen Asserate's address at the European Centre for Law and Justice was a profound testimony to the genocide against the Amhara people and the targeted attacks on Ethiopian Orthodox Christians and civilians.

With historical depth and moral clarity, he reminded the world that genocide, religious persecution, and the destruction of a people's heritage cannot be met with silence. His words were a defense of truth, memory, and human dignity.
The world must not look away.

According to local sources, Ethiopian authorities have started arresting prominent Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church clergy and religious teachers in what observers believe is a crackdown on voices that publicly condemned the recent massacre of Orthodox Christians in Asko Woreda of East Arsi Zone, Oromia Region.

The arrests follow reports that more than 53 Orthodox Christians were killed, over 280 remain missing, hundreds of homes were destroyed, and the historic 101-year-old Telata Chefa St. Gabriel Church was burned during a large-scale attack allegedly carried out by Oromo Liberation Army (OLA/Shene) militants against Orthodox Christian communities in East Arsi Zone between May 31st to June 2nd.

Among those arrested is Deacon Zelalem Taye, a well-known young gospel preacher recognized for his teaching, counseling work, and extensive service to Orthodox Sunday schools. He was reportedly detained in Addis Ababa and is believed to have been targeted after writing about the killings of Christians in Arsi.

Priest Getnet Aytenew, a prominent Orthodox priest known for his educational content on social media and his commentary on church affairs, was also reportedly arrested. Sources indicate his detention is linked to his writings regarding the massacre of Orthodox Christians in Arsi.

Authorities also detained Priest Dr. Mezgebu Kassa, a respected theologian, researcher, author, and former Chief Executive Officer of EOTC TV. Dr. Mezgebu is known for numerous theological publications, including the book Betré Haymanot and the internationally published Theanthropic Ethics in Conversation with Autonomy and Heteronomy. He is being held at the Federal Police detention center in Mexico Square, Addis Ababa.

In addition, Yeneta Betre Mariam Abebaw, a prominent Orthodox scholar and educator known for making traditional church teachings widely accessible through digital platforms, was arrested in Gonder City. He is the author of several widely circulated works on Orthodox theology, apologetics, and Ge’ez language studies.

The arrests have generated concern among church followers and observers, who note that all four individuals are known primarily for religious teaching, theological scholarship, and public advocacy. Reports from multiple sources suggest that the detentions may be connected to their public statements and writings regarding the killings, destruction of churches, and humanitarian crisis affecting Orthodox Christian communities in East Arsi Zone.

The wave of arrests comes amid growing criticism of the government’s response to the violence, with local sources alleging that survivors remain trapped in affected areas while humanitarian assistance faces significant obstacles in reaching displaced and wounded civilians.

🚨 Solo en junio otros 49 cristianos (incluyendo mujeres y niños) sufrieron genocidio en Etiopía. Se quemaron 280 casas y varias iglesias (incluida St. Gabriel de Teleta, de más de 100 años). Cientos de desplazados y desaparecidos. ¿Por qué los medios solo te informan de Gaza?

A father who spoke to BBC said his son, a 21-year-old deacon, was among the victims “I was told ‘he has fallen you must come.’ I came swiftly” he said explaining the circumstances by which he learned of his son’s death.

When he arrived at the church, he saw the bodies of his son and the other church workers saying “I hated my existence” as he explained that the workers were shot multiple times.

The father expressed his feelings saying, “the sky fell on me,” adding “what life do I have? ...I should go and die like my son. I have no life after this. I would like to repent for my sins and die. My son who served the church died tragically, from now on I have no wish but to die, I can’t farm and eat any longer” he said.

“They entered the church courtyard and struck them” said the father of the victim, who described the killing saying, “it was an execution.”

[Kristan Hawkins @KristanHawkins]

Christians are being massacred in Ethiopia, and most of the world's media couldn't care less.

Churches burned. Families slaughtered. Entire communities displaced.

If this happened to almost any other group, it would dominate headlines for weeks.

Pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters and demand accountability for those responsible.🙏

#Ethiopia: Why has Ethiopia’s Oromia Region become a slaughterhouse for Christians since Abiy Ahmed came to power? Why did Abiy wage war against Tigray (2020–2022) and Amhara (2023–present), regions where the majority of the population is Christian?
The video shows the answer.

[Orthodoxy Daily News @OrthodoxyNews]

#Ethiopia: The Oromo Islamists record themselves setting fire to and burning Orthodox Christian churches, as if they are accomplishing something meaningful. Gov’t forces never responded to Christians' calls for help and even denied that the incident had taken place.

[Orthodoxy Daily News @OrthodoxyNews]

The Oromo Islamists have persecuted, killed, and displaced Christians across many parts of Ethiopia's Oromia Region, with some survivors allegedly being forcibly converted to Islam. Christians around the world should speak out for Ethiopian Christians and support them.

[እስከዳር እምሻው 🇪🇹አስካለ ማርያም @EmishawEskedar]
