🇪🇹 60 Christians were killed in Ethiopia in a single week, and the government and rebels are blaming each other.
The Ethiopian Orthodox Church says 14 believers were killed in one attack on October 20, and 46 more in another just 4 days later, both in the Oromiya region surrounding the capital, Addis Ababa.
Over 20 homes were burned, and more than 20 people are in hospital with severe injuries.
The regional government says a rebel alliance carried out the attacks to spark religious conflict, without offering any evidence. A source linked to the rebels says the government did it.
That alliance formed just last month, with 7 armed groups vowing to overthrow PM Abiy Ahmed.
While both sides point fingers, the families of 60 people are left burying their dead.
