John 16:2 They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God.
An Ethiopian Christian fled his land in fear for his life after a Muslim mob ignored a court order protecting the Christian’s property rights.
The International Christian Concern reported that Fikere Mengistu built a home for his 93-year-old mother on land that he owned. The Muslims then came in and destroyed the home along with his fence. They looted the mother’s possessions from the home.
BosNewsLife reported that the Muslims acted in fear of Christians meeting.
Fearing that the village’s 38 Christians would use the house to gather for prayer,” BNL reported, “dozens of Muslims began to occupy his land and would remain for weeks at a time shouting “Allahu akhbar.”
The Muslims say they’re going to build a mosque on the Christian’s land.
“Their first plan was to kill my husband,” Mengistu’s wife, Haregewoyan, said in a statement to the ICC. “Now, he has escaped from the area. We are fasting and praying for God to rescue us from this forceful action.”
The land has been in Mengistu’s family for 90 years.
The head of the International Christian Concern in Africa is calling on the government to enforce the judge’s rulings.
