Report: Hundreds of Ethiopian Christians Killed in ‘Targeted Genocide’ Since June

By: Steve Warren, CBN, September 8, 2020:

An Ethiopian Christian leader says it’s time to launch an international inquiry, claiming hundreds of Christians have been murdered this summer by Muslim extremists in the Oromia region.

The Barnabus Fund, an international persecution watchdog, reports hundreds of people have been killed in coordinated door-to-door attacks—many of them targeting Christian households. The extremists, armed with guns, machetes, swords, and spears, have reportedly sought out Christian families to kill them.

Open Doors reports that Christians in Ethiopia have long been targeted for their faith: “In Ethiopia, all Christian communities are targeted by radical Islamists—particularly where the Christian community is in the minority—but some denominations are more heavily targeted. In 2019, the country saw a rise in communal violence, which displaced millions of people.” And Voice of the Martyrs reported one incident in 2019 in which 13 churches were burned.

Reports in Ethiopian media confirm what Barnabus is reporting about a spate of killings earlier this summer. The violence involves religious as well as ethnic cleansing, but the situation is complicated and appears to also involve political motivations.

Barnabus contacts were able to confirm attacks in towns throughout the region including, Arsi Negele, Ziway, Shashemane, Gedeb Asasa, Kofele, Dodola, Adaba, Robe, Goba, Bale Agarfa, Chiro, Harar, Dire Dawa, Adama, Dera, Asela, and Kembolcha, reaching to the far southeast and east of the country.

It’s been reported that some of the attackers even had lists containing the names of Christians and had received the help of local authorities in trying to find specific individuals who had been actively involved in supporting the Church in the region.

One Oromo Christian was beheaded for refusing to deny his faith. His widow told Barnabas, “The attackers said that it is only he/she who prostrates with us before Allah for prayer who is considered an Oromo.”

Ethiopia, Nigeria, and a host of others. And we’ll never see United Nations Peacekeeping forces there to protect the Christians, either.

THE GLOBALIST, ISLAMIC RUN U.N. KEEPS THE CHRISTIANS FROM GETTING THE SUPPORT THEY NEED TO DEFEND THEMSELVES! LET’S REMEMBER BIAFRA WHERE THE IGBO OF NIGERIA TRIED TO BREAK THROUGH THE JIHADI KILLING MACHINE IN 1967-1970! NIGERIAN CHRISTIAN PRES. GOODLUCK JONATHAN SHOULD NOT HAVE GIVEN UP POWER LIKE HE DID AND HIS ELECTION LOSS IS A WARNING TO US AMERICANS OF WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ALLOW YOUR ENEMIES WHO HATE YOU TO USE THE democ-RAT PROCESS AGAINST YOU! THE ISLAMICS CHEATED AND THE U.N. LETS THEM GET AWAY WITH LIKE THEY ALLOW BOKO HARAM TO DO WHAT IT DOES!

So where is the outrage of BLM and all the white useful idiots? Oh right, its blacks killing blacks, so it doesn’t mean a thing to them. BLM is a Marxist/Maoist group, so they aren’t too concerned with black Christians, but don’t you dare touch a muslim!

Looks like the U.S. is supporting the murder of Christians, in Ethiopia, as well.

In 2019, the Trump Administration gave Ethiopia over $750,000,000.00. However, due to the “dam problem(s)” between Ethiopia and Egypt, Trump cut Ethiopia down to around $300,000,000.00

U notice DemocracyRules never comments on the ongoing extermination of Christians in Nigeria? Maybe because it’s his Sunni muslum brethren doing the slaughtering.

JESUS WAS NOT A DANG PACIFIST OR SHEEP LIKE CHRISTIANS DEPICT THE MAN. HE WAS A TOUGH AS NAILS BLUE COLLAR CARPENTER WHO KICKED BUTT WHEN HE HAD TO. JESUS SAID THERE WOULD BE TIMES WHEN YOU HAD TO SELL YOUR CLOAK TO BUY A SWORD TO DEFEND YOURSELF AND FAMILY FROM EVIL. OF COURSE CHRISTIANS HAVE BEEN BRAIN WASHED INTO BELIEVING THAT THEY HAVE TO TURN THE OTHER CHEEK SO AS TO GET THAT CHOPPED OFF TOO, TO APPEASE THE CHOPPER. THE CHRISTIANS IN AFRICA KEEP TURNING THE OTHER CHEEK PRETTY SOON THERE WON’T BE ANY CHEEK TURNERS LEFT TO BUTCHER. FIGHT BACK DAMMIT JESUS WOULD BE DAMN PROUD IF YOU STOPPED BENDING YOUR KNEE TO THE BUTCHERS OF ISLAM . PICK UP A ROCK OR CLUB AND KILL THE DAMNED ISLAMIC AND TAKE THEIR AK47 AND SHOOT THE REST OF EM. BETTER TO DIE FIGHTING ON YOUR OWN TWO FEET THEN LAYING DOWN CRYING FOR THE LORD TO SAVE YOU AND END UP DYING ANYWAY.

Well said. This turning of the other cheek by Christians is the most disgusting load of nonsense imaginable. Jesus DID say there would be times wen you had to sell your cloak for a sword. He did not expect Christians to placidly allow criminals, like murderous Muslim vermin, to murder their family and themselves with impunity. The Crusaders who in 1096 went across to modern-day Israel to confront and defeat the Muslims had the right idea. They had the right idea when in 1683 they smashed the Ottoman Muslims outside Vienna, smashed the Ottoman fleet in the battle of Lepanto, and smashed them at Malta in 1563. Now they allow hoards of worthless Muslims to invade Europe and behave like savages. Why? Because Europeans, like Canadians (and probably Australians and New Zealanders), don’t believe in anything, so won’t fight for anything – and fall for the crap that is the ‘Islamophobia’ accusation – from Muslims who suffer from every religeous phobia known to man, not least Judeophobia and Christianophobia.

While the whole world goes to Hell in a Handbasket here in Down-Under, Hungry Jacks and Maccas are going Head-to-Head over the use of the word “BIG” in describing their Hamburgers, (that don’t have any ham in them anyway!), as “BIG MACS or BIG JACKS”. Praise the Lord and pass the Tomato Ketchup! God help us!

Burger King in Canada no longer calls its hamburgers, hamburgers. They are now ‘sandwiches’. This has nothing to do with hamburgers not having any ham, it is all about cowardly fear of offending Muslims – who have not the slightest hesitation in offending non-Muslims!

I entered Ethiopia from Gedaref,Sudan in 1975, close to Lake Tana, over to went to Gondar, then down too Addis and then exited into Kenya south of Yabello. One Month. Got robbed,money passport, long story…

It was a time where Martial Law was the rule of the country, Soldiers and Tanks everywhere, the Communists had overthrown the Government.
I always thought that country was mainly Christian as i dont remember any sign of muslims, now look at that country today and remember that centuries ago ALL of the entire Middle East was Christians and Jews, Syria was Christian, Iran was Zoroastrian, Afghanistan was Buddhist, Pakistan was Hindu.

Look at the Middle East today, can you see a pattern?.

Well said. And about all this the rubbish Western media is silent. Why is the U.S. and its State Department, too, so ineffectual in regard to Ethiopia? Why is Ethiopia still receiving a huge amount of foreign aid? I am truly baffled. Muslim governments are behind the takeover of countries like Ethiopia and yet the West – that now largely believes in nothing after abandoning Christianity – is silent. It doesn’t anymore really believe in justice and freedom, and is a gutless mess.

The Bible tells us to pray for all our brothers and sisters in Christ and it doesn’t say a word about nationalities. So we need to pray for them. But of course many of them will give their lives for their Savior – yeah, to the religion of peace! …
