Mahebere Kidusan of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church has expressed concern over unfolding attacks against the ancient church and its followers under the guise of freedom, equality and tolerance.
The well arranged attacks ranged from snatching the church’s lands and to killing and causing forced displacement of Christians,the Mahebere Kidusan said in a statement on Wednesday.
“The government had admitted that its security forces were involved in the attacks but did not make any official statement in condemnation of the attacks,” it said.
The Mahebere Kidusan said enemies of the church are using the recent comments by the patriarch of the church for political purposes and trying to weaken and split the Holy Synod of the church.
It also advised some members of the Holy Synod to refrain from collaborating with the enemy who are trying to disintegrate the church in well structured and secret ways.
