This time it happened in St. George Church the heart of Addis Ababa which is just meters away from Emperor Menelik Statue where Ethiopians celebrate Adwa Victory. Security forces fired unnecessarily, as the Ethiopian Human Rights Commission said, teargas against people who gathered for the celebration. And then it threw teargas to the premises of St. George Church where the faithful were attending the Ark procession of St. George’s Day. Apart from teargas, government security forces fired live bullets. The Ethiopian Church has been experiencing constant attacks from individuals and groups within government structures at different levels of governance structures.
