Foreign Ministry announcement regarding the execution of Ethiopian Christians in Libya

Following yesterday’s confirmation from the Ethiopian government of the mass execution of Ethiopian Christians in Libya by a jihadist organization affiliated with ISIS, we express our unequivocal condemnation of and abhorrence at the barbaric murder of innocents by a terrorist organization that, through its senseless actions, aims to exacerbate religious intolerance and fanaticism.

We express our condolences to the victims’ loved ones, and our undivided support for the friendly people and government of Ethiopia.
