Are they only Christians?

I had to dig deep to find this, a story reporting the massacre of over 700 Christians at an Ethiopian Church.  I did a general such for Ethiopia, Ethiopian Christians, and even attack in Ethiopia, and found nothing.  I had to type 'Ethiopian Church Massacre' to find anything.  And then the sources I have found are basically Christian, and a few general religious, publications. 

We all know after the horrible mosque shooting in New Zealand that such things are covered by the international press.  Heck, the entire world came to a halt with that one.  Likewise, following the attack against Christians in Sri Lanka that no doubt had nothing to do with New Zealand, the international media covered it and warned us of the inevitable Islamphobic backlash that never happened.  So it isn't as if there is some standard about not covering such assaults on religious communities.

But this is all I've found.  Maybe it's wrong and there was no such massacre.  We can only pray.  If there was, we may never know.  Remember, there is no more journalism.  Propaganda tells us what it wants us to know, not what we need to know. 

In the meantime lift up our hearts and prayers to the Lord, that whatever happened is revealed, and God cover the hearts and minds of those impacted with his love through Jesus Christ.
