By Gene Edward Veith @ http://cranach.worldmagblog.com/cranach/After extolling Ethiopia for its Christianity (see the blog entry below), I saw in an article linked on Dr. Luther's site that the country is on the Top 10 List for persecutions of Christians. But reading that article both explains the anomaly and gives a context for Ethiopia's incursion into Somalia missing from most news reports.
Ethiopian Christians are being persecuted by the same "Islamic Court" councils that had taken over Somalia. They had also taken over sections of Ethiopia and persecuting the large numbers of Christians under their self-claimed jurisdictions. In moving against those radical Muslims headquartered in Somalia, the government of Ethiopia is simply protecting its own people.
