Muslims have destroyed thousands of churches throughout the Middle East and forced 2 million indigenous Christians to flee their homes.

They consider Christians infidels who must convert, pay jizya, or be killed.

Zero outrage by leftists or Muslims!

[Isaac @isaacrrr7]

Los musulmanes han destruido miles de iglesias en todo Oriente Medio y han obligado a 2 millones de cristianos autóctonos a huir de sus hogares.

Consideran a los cristianos infieles que deben convertirse, pagar la yizia o morir.

Cero indignación mundial.

Get organized, protect your church & defend yourself from extremists.

Over 50 Christians slaughtered by Islamists in Ethiopia over the course of the post week.

All over the world... the same religion causes widespread pain and suffering.....it's maddening...how can one religion harbor so many wicked souls?...

[Ethiopian.Defenders @ETHDefenders]

Serious questions remain about the recent killings in Oromia. While church sources and some media reports have cited a much higher number of victims, the official statement reported a far lower figure.

Makes you wonder why all these Gov'ts and people in western countries are so silent about these massacres and the genocide!

URGENTE: Decenas de cristianos fueron masacrados en Etiopía a lo largo de la última semana por islamistas.

Decenas de miles de cristianos han sido masacrados por islamistas en toda África, y al mundo no parece importarle.

🇪🇹✝️ NUEVA MATANZA DE CRISTIANOS.

Silencio mediático, silencio papal.

Etiópia: Decenas de cristianos fueron masacrados en los últimos días en la región de Oromo.

La comunidad cristiana ortodoxa etíope fue atacada intencionalmente, mujeres y niños incluidos.

[Bob of Speakers Corner @btbsoco]

Ethiopian Christians must mobilise - such a government is tyrannical and clearly has something to hide!

[Margo @MargoinWNC]

Unrest will be an understatement of what’s to come.

[ነብዩ @neby_G]

@EYakoby The government is arresting priests who denounced the massacre to coverup the crime.

[Terisa C @C4Terisa]

ANOTHER ISLAMIST MASSACRE IN ETHIOPIA!
WHERE IS MAIN STREAM MEDIA?
WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?

[International Amhara Associations Union @IAAU_Global]

Heartbreaking to see what is happening in East Arsi. We need more attention on this situation and immediate action to ensure the safety of those involved.

[Ethiopian.Defenders @ETHDefenders]

How many more appeals must be ignored before action is taken? The persecution of innocent Christians continues despite repeated pleas from z Patriarch. Statements without accountability change nothing. The world must not look away from z #ArsiMassacre #Ethiopia #ReligiousFreedom

[Memi ሚሚ @MemiAsrat]

Imagine being arrested just for demanding justice and giving a voice to the victims. Instead of protecting innocent people and holding perpetrators accountable, the @AbiyAhmedAli @PMEthiopia authorities are silencing those who speak out. That’s why say it’s state-sponsored genocide. @USEmbassyAddis @OrthodoxyNews @ChristianEmerg1 @hrw #OrthodoxUnderAttack

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.
