I genuinely donโ€™t understand how this can be a daily occurrence and nobody seems to care. Does anyone care?
BREAKING: Islamists have attacked another Christian village in Ethiopia, slaughtering 50 innocent people. Last week, Islamists massacred 60 Christians in a different region in Ethiopia. Where is the outrage?

๐Ÿ™ Please pray for Ethiopiaโ€™s Orthodox Christians. The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Churchโ€™s Holy Synod reports that about 60 Orthodox Christians were killed in attacks between October 20 and 24, 2026, in the Arsi Zone (Southeast Oromia), mostly in the Shirka and Merti districts (14 in Merti on Oct. 20; 46 in Shirka areas on Oct. 24). #PersecutedChurch #savethepersecutedchristians

ETHIOPIAN ORTHODOX CHRISTIANS UNDER ATTACK At least 94 Ethiopian Orthodox Christians have been killed in three attacks in less than three weeks in Ethiopiaโ€™s Oromia region. The attacks occurred in Merti and Shirka districts on October 20 and 24, killing at least 60, followed by another 34 deaths in Endato village, Robe district. The Ethiopian Human Rights Commission attributed the earlier attacks to the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA), an armed Oromo nationalist movement. The OLA has denied targeting civilians. While the conflict is rooted in ethnic and political struggles, growing violence against Orthodox Christian communities raises serious concerns about religiously targeted persecution. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church, representing more than 30 million followers, is calling for urgent protection of its worshippers. At least 94 lives lost. Christian communities remain at risk. The world must not look away.

๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡น ETHIOPIA: OVER 30 CIVILIANS REPORTEDLY KILLED โ€” OUR AMHARA BROTHERS AND SISTERS ARE SUFFERING๐Ÿ’” ๐Ÿ’” A mother has lost both her legs. Children and elderly civilians have reportedly been killed. Others are dying without medical care. On November 7, 2026, Ethiopian military drones and helicopters reportedly launched successive strikes against displaced Amhara civilians sheltering in Wodesadima Kebele, Gida Kiremu Woreda, East Wollega Zone, Oromia Region, Ethiopia. More than 30 civilians have reportedly lost their lives, with the death toll continuing to rise as critically wounded survivors are left without lifesaving medical treatment. THE AMHARA COMMUNITY ARE OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN FAITH, AND THEIR SUFFERING SHOULD BREAK OUR HEARTS THE WAY GOD CALLS US TO MOURN WITH THEM IN 1 CORINTHIANS 12:26โœ๏ธ we cannot ignore the suffering of this historically Christian community. DONT LOOK AWAY from an Amhara mother who lost both legs during the bombardment ๐Ÿ’ฃ The strikes began around 4:30 PM, continuing in multiple waves. Additional attacks were reported against civilians attempting to rescue the wounded and recover the dead. ๐Ÿ’” THEY HAD ALREADY LOST THEIR HOMES. THEY WERE SEARCHING FOR SAFETY. INSTEAD, THEY FACED MORE VIOLENCE. These families had fled earlier attacks in Ali, Andode Dicho, Fedeqa, Meleketa, and surrounding communities. They were already struggling without adequate food, shelter, and medical assistance. Now, survivors are reportedly bleeding to death because healthcare facilities have been destroyed, roads remain blocked, and medical workers cannot reach them. Several civilians are still missing. And this is not the first reported tragedy. On October 29, another drone strike reportedly killed approximately 25 displaced civilians and critically injured more than 40 others at Turku Camp near Hayk Town in South Wollo Zone. AS CHRISTIANS, HOW CAN WE HEAR ABOUT THE SUFFERING OF OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS AND REMAIN SILENT? We worship the same Lord Jesus Christ. We share the same faith in Him. And when one part of the Body of Christ suffers, we are called to care. ๐Ÿ“– 1 Corinthians 12:26: "If one part suffers, every part suffers with it." Our Ethiopian Orthodox brothers and sisters are not strangers to us. Their suffering matters, their families matter, and their lives matter. We call for immediate humanitarian access, medical treatment for the wounded, protection of displaced families, and an independent investigation into these reported attacks. ๐Ÿ™ ๐Ÿ™PLEASE PRAY FOR ETHIOPIA. Pray for the mothers who have lost their children, the children who have lost their parents, the wounded struggling to survive, and every family mourning someone they love. THEIR PAIN MAY BE THOUSANDS OF MILES AWAY, BUT THEY ARE NOT FAR FROM OUR HEARTS. โœ๏ธ ONE BODY IN CHRIST.

A Prayer for Our Brothers and Sisters in Ethiopia ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡น Heavenly Father, We come before You with heavy hearts for the Christian communities in Ethiopiaโ€™s Arsi zone and Oromia region who have suffered such recent and terrible violence. You see every life that has been taken, every home destroyed, and every family left grieving. Comfort the brokenhearted, heal the wounded, and surround those who remain with Your peace that surpasses understanding. Lord Jesus, protect Your church in that land. Strengthen the faith of those who are afraid, give courage to leaders and shepherds, and let Your gospel continue to shine even in the midst of darkness. We ask for justice, for an end to the bloodshed, and for true peace between communities. Raise up voices of wisdom and restraint, and turn the hearts of those who do harm. Holy Spirit, be near to every orphan, widow, and displaced believer. Provide for their daily needs, restore what has been lost, and keep them in Your unfailing love. May the world not forget them, and may Your people everywhere stand with them in prayer. We trust You, Lord, the God who sees and the God who saves. Have mercy. Bring healing. Establish justice. And let Your name be honored through it all. In Jesusโ€™ name, Amen.

๐Ÿšจ An @AbiyAhmedAli regime drone strike has killed at least 29 Amhara IDPs, including children, mothers and elderly people, in Kiremu Woreda, East Wollega Zone, Oromia Region On November 6th, 2026, at approximately 4:30 PM, successive drone strikes by the Abiy regime targeted internally displaced Amhara civilians in Wedesadma, near Kiremu Woreda, East Wollega Zone, Oromia Region, killing at least 29 civilians and leaving numerous others critically injured. The victims included children, mothers and elderly people who had fled attacks in Ali, Andode, Fedeqa and Meleketa Semi. Already suffering from severe hunger, illness and displacement, the civilians were struck at the location where they had sought refuge.
๐Ÿšจ Over 60 Amhara civilians killed daily in Wollega by Oromia Region Gadaa Commando as ENDF colonel demands 600,000 birr ransom to protect churches from attacks On November 7th, 2026, local sources described escalating mass killings, displacement and destruction targeting Amhara civilians across Tulgana, Waja, Agamsa, Kiremu, Gida and Gutin in the Wollega areas of Oromia Region. Oromia Region Gadaa Commando and allied armed groups have been conducting house-to-house attacks and pursuing civilians fleeing into forests and remote areas, with more than 60 civilians reportedly killed daily. Thousands of residents, including children and elderly people, have gone missing or become separated from their families. In Tulgana, Gutin and Waja, bodies of slain civilians have remained unburied along roads, in villages and surrounding forests, with some exposed for more than three days and consumed by vultures and wild animals. Continuing attacks have prevented surviving residents from recovering and burying the dead. Meanwhile, an ENDF colonel identified by the nickname Colonel Qore is accused of demanding 300,000 birr each from Tulgana Kidist Kidane Mihret Church and Tulgana Kidus Gabriel Church, totaling 600,000 birr, in exchange for protecting the churches from attacks and destruction. ENDF Command post forces have also been accused of using tanks and heavy weapons against religious institutions and civilian homes. Thousands of displaced civilians remain trapped in forests and isolated communities without food, shelter or humanitarian assistance. Deaths from starvation and exposure to cold weather have also been reported, while road closures and continuing insecurity have made it difficult to establish the full casualty toll. Video shows an Amhara civilian who survived the late August attacks by Oromia region Gadaa Commando pleading for a safe passage out of Oromia.

Starting from 5:00 AM yesterday morning, following an attack carried out by armed militants in Robe Woreda of the East Arsi Zone, the bodies of 34 Christians have been found so far. This is happening just 11 days after a horrific massacre was committed against more than 45 Orthodox Christians in Shirka Woreda of that same Arsi Zone. How must you journalists working in state media feel: you who do not say a word while all this atrocity is being committed? What about you officials sitting in government seats representing the public? Above all, what about the Prime Minister leading the country? Some who used to cry out asking "Why?" may have grown tired and given up as these acts are repeatedly committed; but what must the surviving citizens, upon whom all this horror is inflicted, be feeling? Are they awaiting their death while still alive? What, indeed, is the primary job of a government?

๐Ÿšจ 40 BODIES RECOVERED AND BURIED IN A MASS GRAVE FOLLOWING THE MASSACRE OF ORTHODOX CHRISTIANS IN ETHIOPIA PLEASE PRAY FOR OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN ETHOPIA โœ๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡น Heartbreaking new information emerging ๐Ÿ’” On November 6, 2026, reveals that 40 bodies have now been recovered and buried in a single mass grave following Thursdayโ€™s massacre of Orthodox Christians in Endeto, Arsi Zone, Oromia Region, Ethiopia. According to local sources, 34 bodies were initially collected under the supervision of Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF) personnel. One wounded victim later died, and five additional bodies were recovered from surrounding areas, bringing the confirmed number of those buried to 40. Even more disturbing, sources allege that families were ordered to bury their loved ones quickly in a single mass grave and were prohibited from mourning loudly. AND THE HORROR MAY NOT BE OVER. Additional victims reportedly remain unaccounted for in nearby forests and ravines. Survivors who desperately need medical attention are reportedly unable to reach hospitals after armed groups blocked transportation attempting to take the wounded to Robe. The death toll could rise as injured civilians remain without medical assistance. Local Orthodox Christian residents also accuse security authorities of failing to protect their communities, alleging that threatened families were told to either convert or leave the area. This latest massacre follows separate attacks in October that reportedly killed at least 60 Orthodox Christians in Arsi. HOW MANY MORE INNOCENT LIVES MUST BE LOST BEFORE THE WORLD PAYS ATTENTION? Today, I am asking everyone reading this to STOP and PRAY. ๐Ÿ™ Pray for the souls of those who were murdered. ๐Ÿ™ Pray for the families who have been forced to bury their loved ones under unimaginable circumstances. ๐Ÿ™ Pray for the wounded, the missing, and everyone still living in fear. ๐Ÿ™ Pray for our Orthodox Christian brothers and sisters in Ethiopia who are facing violence, persecution, and threats against their faith. ๐Ÿ™ Pray for protection, justice, medical assistance, and an end to these killings. Whether you are Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant, or simply someone who believes every human life has value, please do not look away. Our brothers and sisters in Christ need our prayers. Their lives matter. Their suffering matters. And their voices deserve to be heard. Share their story. Keep Ethiopia in your prayers. โœ๏ธ โ€œRemember those who are in prison, as though in prison with them, and those who are mistreated, since you also are in the body.โ€ โ€” Hebrews 13:3 #PrayForEthiopia #EthiopianChristians #StopChristianPersecution #OrthodoxChristians #EndChristianPersecution #ReligiousFreedom
