埃塞俄比亚奥罗米亚地区一周内两起袭击致至少60人死亡：东正教会称死者均为信徒，官方与叛军互相指责
埃塞俄比亚东正教会表示，该国奥罗米亚地区过去一周发生两起袭击，至少60人死亡。据路透社10月27日报道，教会方面称死者均为基督徒，但没有说明他们的死法与袭击者身份。奥罗米亚地区政府与一支正在该国北部提格雷地区与政府军作战的叛军联盟的消息人士互相指责对方发动了袭击。
埃塞俄比亚东正教特瓦希多教会最高评议会（Holy Synod）在10月26日发布的声明中说，10月20日有14名信徒在 Merti 县遇害，10月24日有46名信徒在 Sherka 县遇害；另有20多栋房屋被烧毁，20多人重伤住院。地区政府称，叛军联盟发动袭击意在挑起宗教冲突，但未提供证据；与叛军联盟有关的消息人士则称袭击是奥罗米亚地区政府所为，并称该说法来自与两名当地居民的谈话。
地区政府此前多次指责的叛军组织「奥罗莫解放军」（OLA）没有立即回应置评请求。奥罗莫解放军是上月宣布结盟的七个武装组织之一，该联盟称其目标是推翻总理 Abiy Ahmed 的政府。奥罗米亚是埃塞俄比亚面积与人口最大的地区之一，政府军与奥罗莫解放军的冲突已持续多年，当地东正教信徒此前也曾成为袭击目标。
At Least 60 Killed in Two Attacks in Ethiopia's Oromiya Region in a Week, Orthodox Church Says
At least 60 people were killed in two separate attacks in Ethiopia's conflict-hit Oromiya region in the past week, the Ethiopian Orthodox Church said, in a statement reported by Reuters on October 27. Church authorities said the dead were all Christians, but did not give details on how they died or who was behind the attacks. The Oromiya regional government and a source linked to a rebel alliance fighting government forces in the northern Tigray region traded blame for the killings.
The Holy Synod of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church said 14 believers were killed in Merti Woreda on October 20 and 46 in Sherka Woreda on October 24. More than 20 homes were also burned and more than 20 people were hospitalised with severe injuries, the church's statement, issued on Monday, added.
The regional government said the rebel alliance launched the attacks to try to spark religious conflict, without providing evidence. The source linked to the rebel alliance said the Oromiya regional government had carried out the killings, citing conversations with two local residents. The Oromo Liberation Army (OLA), which the regional government has blamed for previous attacks on Orthodox Christians, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The OLA is one of seven armed groups that announced last month they had formed an alliance aimed at overthrowing Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed's government.
