Ethiopians mourn the Christians killed by ISIS

Story here

Christians and Muslims across Ethiopia poured out grief for the Christians killed by ISIS. Abune Mathias, Patriarch of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, condemned the killings.

From the article:


"They are animals, they are outside of all humanity," said Tesfaye Wolde, who saw his only brother Balcha Belete executed on a video released by the jihadists.

"I saw him kneeling, a masked man pointing a gun to my brother and his friend, with a knife to their throats."

Abune Mathias, the patriarch of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, called the killings "repugnant."
