1. More than 60 Christians killed in series of attacks in Ethiopia's Oromia region, Orthodox Church says

   The BBC reported that the Ethiopian Orthodox Church said more than 60 Christians were killed in a series of attacks in three areas of a district in Oromia region, which a church official called a 'massacre'. The church's Holy Synod said 20 houses were burned but did not identify the attackers. Witnesses told BBC Amharic that 5 children were among the dead. Local officials blamed a newly formed rebel alliance that includes the Oromo Liberation Army, which did not respond and has previously denied similar attacks; the regional government said those responsible will be held to account.
