DARK AGE: Many Christians In Ethiopia were Murdered Since June
As Islam grows much and much stronger, so does their hate for Christians also grow more. According to CBN, The Barnabus Fund, an international persecution watchdog, reports more than 500 people have been killed in coordinated door-to-door attacks targeting Christian households. Armed with spears, swords, guns, and machetes, these Islamic extremists sought to hunt and killed followers of Christ; Christians.
After hundreds of Christians were killed viciously without any mercy, these included pregnant women, innocent children, and whole families by these Islamic extremists in Oromia at Ethiopia, the necessity to form international inquiry comes in handy as An Ethiopian Christian leader felt the need.
It is been reported by Barnabus Fund that these attacks by Islamic extremists have hold siege of areas in Ethiopia like 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.
Children are even forced to witness the brutal death of relatives. One can imagine the horrible act of it.
Aside from these attacks, businesses, properties, and houses belonging to Christians have been burnt down, seized, and extensively destroyed by these extremists. It’s been reported that they have a list of names containing Christians in specific areas arranging attacks on them, this is mostly done through the power given to them by certain authorities, some local policemen even stand still when murdering is in process.
Thousands of traumatised survivors have fled for their lives, including orphaned children, and many are being sheltered in churches and community centres.
