Abune Abraham has been in the United States, particularly in his diocese, New York, for a few weeks with authorization from the Ethiopian Church Patriarchate. Abiy Ahmed’s administration has not yet remarked on why it deported the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church (EOTC) Holy Synod ‘s Secretary. When this development triggered a massive nationwide movement among followers of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, Abiy Ahmed appeared as a mediator and “resolved” the issue.
