“The Foreign Ministry condemns, in the strongest
terms, terrorist organization ISIS’s slaughter and killing in cold blood of 28
innocentChristian Ethiopians in Libya, whose only sin
was to not believe in ISIS’s takfiri ideas and delusional teachings,” the
ministry said in a statement Monday.
The ministry offered its condolences to the
Ethiopian people and government, expressing solidarity in light of “this
painful tragedy.”
“This cowardly act is the best proof that there
is no limit to the cruelty and brutality of ISIS, which has become rampant in
more than one area, threatening international peace and security,” the
statement said.
It called for a unification of international
efforts “on all levels” to confront ISIS and its “false ideas.”
A video released by ISIS Sunday appeared to show
the killing of two different groups of captured Ethiopian Christians by the
extremist group’s Libyan affiliates.
The 29-minute online video purports to show
militants holding two groups of captives. It says one group is held by an ISIS
affiliate in eastern Libya known as Barka Province and the other by an
affiliate in the south calling itself the Fazzan Province.
