Enat party Logo (resized)borkenaEnat, Party, Ethiopian opposition party on Monday issued a statement accusing the Federal government, Oromia regional state and the Tigray regional state of working to disintegrate the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church (EOTC). The party said the above-mentioned government entities are making overt and covert activities to disintegrate the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. Their move was resisted by followers of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church in the Oromo region of Ethiopia. However, the government deployed security forces and attacked members of the church who stood first to defend the unity of the church by protecting church premises from being overtaken by groups that the Ethiopian Church excommunicated and condemned as illegal. The Ethiopian church refuted the claim while making efforts to meet with the archbishops with the aim to hold a discussion.
