Underreported Story

Recently we are hearing recurring religious conflicts in different parts of the country. This dangerous wave of conflicts between the two religions with long history of harmony is recently turning uglier and uglier. Ethiopianbloggers were informed by some Gonder city residents that some Orthodox Christians are telling muslims to "go to their country." Similar conflicts were also reported in Dire Dawa and environs. This past timket, it was a common scene in Addis to see people wearing t-shirts with prints like "ethiopia yekrsiyan deseat nat." It is also reported that some Muslims were printing and distributing pamphlets that instigate violence against orthodox Christians. We also heard a report about a person who went to a church and yelled “allahu akber”, which is nothing other than instigating violence.
We at ethiopianbloggers believe that this is a dangerous trend we are noticing. Instead of taking sides and put gas on the burning fire, let us all calm down and think this horrible thing through. Pointing fingers won't do any one any good.
We hope everyone works together to kill this unnecessary and nonsensical conflict at its infancy. read the following reports on the story:

Responding to question from EMF, the movement’s public relation said, “Although we have expected people’s positive responses to our request, it is very remarkable to see such a wonderful experience.”

As soon as the movement met its target, the next step will be action to save our country and our nation, according to the source.
