Another Victim

ICC Sends Staff to Investigate

ICC has sent an Ethiopian staffer to the scene of the recent violent attacks against Christians in Ethiopia to gather information and investigate the attacks. We have been able to confirm that at least two Christians, not one, were killed during the attack. The second victim, a woman, was stabbed and died after she reached a hospital for treatment.

Our investigation has uncovered more detail on the attacks. We are being told from eyewitnesses that the attacks started on March 2 when Muslims came out of a mosque en masse screaming, “Allah Akbar“  (God is great).  Then they started to burn churches. After that, they burned the homes of church leaders.

More Impending Attacks

After the attacks, the Muslims publicly announced through loudspeakers that this attack is only the beginning, and that they only wanted to send a warning to the Christians. They threatened that more attacks are coming and more Christians will be killed in the future attacks.

Help Is Desperately Needed

There are 10,000 displaced Christians in the area of the attacks. ICC is working with church partners on the ground to supply emergency food packs of flour, rice, oil, and sugar. Incredibly, $5 will supply one Christian with food for a week or a new set of clothes.

ICC will match your gift dollar for dollar. So if you give $5, ICC will give another $5. ICC is matching up to $10,000 in a bid to bring in funds for this time-sensitive effort. You can donate by either using the link on the right (please type “Ethiopia” in the note) or calling us at 1-800-ICC-5441.
