Christians are being killed in Ethiopia. This is not a distant tragedy. We have walked alongside believers in Nigeria who know this grief intimately. Communities wiped out, churches burned, families shattered. The persecution is real. The need for the world to wake up is urgent.
BREAKING: Dozens of Christians were massacred in Ethiopia over the course of the last week by Islamists.
Tens of thousands of Christians have been slaughtered by Islamists across Africa, and the world doesn’t seem to care.
የ አርሲ ጥያቄ የኦሮሞ ጥያቄ ሳይሆን የእምነት ነዉ‼️ መቼም የማይመለሰዉ ጥያቄ ደግሞ Islamic oromia liberation front ጥያቄ ነዉ።
The struggle is deeply rooted in religious beliefs, and they view Christians as their principal opponents.
The burning of St. Gabriel church.
ጴጥሮስ ያችን ሰዓት (Petros at this hour) full Amharic drama:
Ethiopian Orthodox Christians must follow the footsteps of legendary anti-fascist religious father, Abune Petros by fighting against injustice! During the time of Abune Petros, Mussolini's troops were destroying churches, killing clergy, and killing congregation en-mass. Butcherer Rodolfo Graziani in particular was vehemently opposed to the EOTC as he knew the threat the church posed to his power.
Today the government of @AbiyAhmedAli and armed groups are committing the same actions which Abune Petros was martyred for condemning. We have native Mussolini's and Graziani's destroying our country. They know the threat we still hold to their power. That's why they've been been limiting the way we celebrate our holidays and now they're commercializing them as tourist attractions. They've attempted to create illegitimate synods and now they're burning churches and killing Christians. What the Ethiopian people need is strong leadership from the church. We need to be outspoken and stand our ground, we need another Abune Petros!
