Local residents in Arsi where mass killings happened a few days ago are saying anyone in the area who picked up and buried citizens killed a few days ago, wore mourning clothes, or was a relative of the deceased is being hunted down and arrested.
Residents say the number of people arrested by local officials, accused of being 'collaborators with the enemy' and 'leaking information,' has now exceeded 100.
Addis Standard confirmed this today and published news on it, mentioning that the number of detainees is over 50:
It is now becoming crystal clear who is behind the killings?
More than 80 children and women, who were fleeing the ongoing massacre of ethnic Amharas in Wollega, were forced to disembark from a vehicle and were subsequently massacred by the region's security forces in this manner.
Dans les berceaux du christianisme les chrétiens sont massacrés
- En Éthiopie plus de 60 chrétiens massacrés, des maisons brûlées
- Cette tragédie succède à la tuerie de chrétiens en Jordanie par des islamistes,
Pourtant la presse Française est discrète voire muette ...à
I bet Abiy Ahmed will not give ashit to whatvwovever massacre is happening under his leadership. That is his leadership style. Denying what's being happening
@GabisaGonfa3 This is happenings again and again, because the Government is orchestrating the case and denying like nothing is happening 🙄. Nothing to do with terrorism since nobody is held accountable
Over 40 Orthodox Christians massacred in Ethiopia.
Homes burned, churches targeted, mass burials. Almost total silence from Western media and “human rights” groups.
When the victims are Black African Christians, the outrage disappears.
News: More than 50 detained after burying victims of deadly attacks on #Orthodox faithful in #Ethiopia’s #Oromia
Addis Abeba — More than 50 residents in #Shirka Woreda, Southeast Zone (formerly #Arsi zone) of #Oromia region, have reportedly been detained after burying victims of recent attacks and assisting the wounded, residents told Addis Standard, raising concerns about a security crackdown in the aftermath of the killings.
The detention followed attacks by armed men in Chole and Birbo kebeles that left at least 48 people dead and more than 31 others injured, according to residents who spoke to Addis Standard. The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church’s #Holy_Synod subsequently reported that 60 Orthodox Christians were killed in attacks on 20 and 24 October across two woredas in Arsi Zone.
Attempts by Addis Standard to contact the regional communication bureau for further comment were unsuccessful.

⛔️Ethiopia faces multiple active conflicts under Abiy Ahmed, including renewed fighting in Tigray since late September and ongoing violence in Amhara and Oromia. Recent reports confirm over 60 Orthodox Christians killed in Oromia attacks on Oct 20-24, with mass funerals in the video. ‼️
⛔️Accusations of genocide come from some activist groups citing patterns of civilian targeting, though no international court has ruled on it. Multiple sides report atrocities amid the instability.‼️
@ADesta2015 Do you think our conscious will let us to keep quite like you or your shameless Prime Minister. This is International issue, remember what's happened to Nigeria.
What the fuck is this? What is wrong with you people, .@AyanaFeyissa?
We don't have this shyte in Afar, we have been Muslim longer than all y'all. Why do the Oromo Muslims carrying out these attacks keep targeting Orthodox Christians while leaving Pentecostals and prosperity gospel followers
I feel like Oromo Prosperity Gospelers and Oromo Wahabis are working together in a tribal past to finish us all.
Personally, I see this sectarian bullshit as an import from your Zionist allies in the UAE and Saudi Arabia. I don’t trust any Oromo Muslim who supports a Netanyahu admirer like Abiy.
This is happening in Ethiopia and your biggest priority is to make Addis into Finfine, MrMekekerX Komitee???
More than 40 people were killed in an attack on Orthodox Christian churches and homes in Ethiopia's central state of Oromia on Saturday, residents and church officials say

Enough is enough!
Christians, you are called to defend your wives, your children, your communities, and your nations. You are called to be strong and courageous.
You are called to FIGHT EVIL in this world!
It’s either you or them.
It’s either fight back or die.
If Christians do not find the courage to fight back against the Muslim scourge, then Christianity will eventually be conquered by the death-cult of Islam — and your children’s children will be MUSLIM.
Your children’s children will be raised in the pure evil of Islam to the destruction of their everlasting souls.
Is that what you want for your posterity?
They won’t know the True God (Jehovah).
They won’t know the True Messiah (Jesus).
They won’t know the True Word (the Holy Bible).
And it will all be because YOU were too cowardly to pick up a gun and shoot back!
Don’t mistake weakness for virtue.
Don’t mistake passivity for goodness.
Don’t mistake cowardice for godliness.
God be with us all.
The continued targeted attacks against Christians in Ethiopia are completely unacceptable.
All parties to the conflict need to take steps to ensure that Christians and all people of faith are protected from this violence and that the perpetrators are punished.
Under Abiy Ahmed, Ethiopia is becoming a vehicle for ethnic domination and regional expansion, threatening peace and sovereignty across the Horn of Africa.
