VATICAN CITY (CNS) — Pope Francis prayed for those killed during violent protests in Ethiopia, which left dozens of people dead. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed told reporters Nov. 3 that at least 76 people were killed during clashes fueled by ethnic or religious hostilities. The prime minister called for an end to using religion or ethnicity as a reason for conflict and urged young people to avoid religious and ethnic extremism. “I ask you to pray for all victims of violence in this land,” he said before leading the recitation of a Hail Mary. The agreement lets the workers declare residency at parish churches and allows them to register with the local city clerk’s office.
