The horrendous violence by rampaging Islamists that drove an estimated 10,000 Christians from their homes in western Ethiopia earlier this month may be part of a wider campaign to "clear Christianity from the land by [the] sword".
A Christian minister in Ethiopia said the country was being targeted by Muslim fanatics with a strategy to Islamise the Christian-majority nation and so gain control of the entire Horn of Africa. He said: Muslim extremists [are] declaring underground war to clear Christianity from the land by [the] sword. This is why we [are] hearing unfamiliar atrocity, horrific and bloody events in various parts of the country by Muslim fundamentalists.
