Dozens of Christians killed in ethnic violence in Ethiopia

In Ethiopia, over sixty people have been killed in attacks on Christians, attributed to a rebel group seeking more power for the Oromo people. The assaults occurred in Oromia, south of Addis Ababa, resulting in significant casualties and destruction. Local church leaders describe the events as a massacre, with many residents fleeing the violence. Ethiopia has faced ongoing ethnic and religious conflicts, with recent escalations in violence, particularly involving the Oromo Liberation Army. A report indicated that over 450 people have died in such conflicts in the past four years, marking this incident as a severe escalation.
