Picx from Axum LALIBELLA Ethiopia last week. At the Arch of the Covenant church. 🇪🇹. It's sad to see Ethiopian Christians living in endless wars that destabiliz the region Makin it hard for them to survive and protect these historical sites . The Fano's, are fighting the government to protect their holy sites. May God Jesus, Mary, keep them safe. Coz people are trying to minimize their rights and scared land, so its easy to steal it one day.
I also saw outside of the Christian territory more Muslim and Christian camps of migrants from other places, the USAID had built shelters with tarpolin. They have around 150,000 people who depended on USAID it seems . It's been cut by 65%. people told me it's 4000 usd to build a real house. But in a way most of the population is living the same standard of living as the migrants in huts very similar . The real problem is millions died, and fought and can't recover because of covid right after then the Gov taxes them 150% on any import so they are frozen in time living off the land. Is this what happens to real places of truth. Why is this happening to fellow Christians?
At the church said to hold the Arch of the Covenant, the monk guarding it, it is not allowed to even meet the president of Ethiopia, because everyone can be corrupt. An uncorruped Monk is the best thing I saw.
