The attack against Orthodox Christians in the region started as early as 4 a.m. local time. Why Christians are attacked when the assassination of the singer has nothing to do with Ethiopian Orthodox Church followers? As many as 3362 Orthodox Christians are displaced and taking refuge in Churches. In the region where the massacre took place, there appears to be intolerance towards the followers of Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. Over the past two years, there has been a repeated and orchestrated attack against Ethiopian Orthodox Christians in different parts of the country.
