Christian Evangelist Abraham Abera Beaten to Death by Muslims in Ethiopia

If a Palestinian had been beaten to death by an Israeli soldier, Muslims would be rioting in the streets around the world right now. But since it's a Christian evangelist being killed by Muslims, don't expect much of a reaction from anyone.


The Muslims lured Evangelist Abraham Abera from Kale Hiwot Church, his home and place of ministry, at 9:30 p.m. They told him that his friend was sick and needed his immediate attention. Abraham left with the men; they turned on him and began to beat him with rods. The minister's wife, Birtukan, saw the men attack her husband and ran to intervene, but the Muslims beat her as well.


Though Birtukan did suffer injuries to her mid-section, her unborn baby did fortunately survive the attack.

The attackers still remain at large. A Christian leader in the area told ICC that the men may not be arrested because the local officials are also Muslims. "Christians in Worabe and its surrounding areas are persecuted at the hands of Muslim radicals, and the local government officials, who are Muslims, don't protect Christians. We urge the higher government authorities [state and federal officials] to intervene and protect us," said the Christian leader.

"The brutal killing of Evangelist Abraham and the beating of his wife, Birtukan, is deeply troubling. We urge the federal government authorities to investigate this latest attack as well as reports of persecution against Christians in the Silte zone," said Jonathan Racho, ICC's Regional Manager for Africa.

Ok, im desperate to send the US military to my country Ethiopia and kick those stupid muslims out from there.

May the Lord rest his soul, he is now w/ Jesus Christ. But his poor wife now has to make a living as a single mother, if she doesnt marry again and soon.

Idiot muslims! :)

I don't like the way the Ethiopian government deals with these things.

Ethiopia is actually 2/3 Christian, but its very, very regional, as are almost all African nations with two or more dominant religions.

The government, because it lacks the resources to enforce the law everywhere, and has made some sort of commitment to local communities that their customs and by extension, their laws can be preserved, these things are unfortunately allowed to happen.

These are the problems of legal pluralism.

This is never going to end. As long as Muslims follow the perfect example of Mohammed Christians and other Kafirs will be slaughtered.

Sounds JUST LIKE SATAN to use deception in order to lure an innocent man from his home in order to beat him brutally and kill him.

Guile, ambush, murder. The formula is standard in Muslim military history.

Worabe, Ethiopia and Dearborn Michigan share some things in common.
